Wishlist: Japadog

This past weekend, I was in Vancouver and had what is probably the greatest Hot Dog innovation since they were poked with sticks, dipped in corn bread batter and deep fried.  The Japadog!  Think Hallo Berlin Cart meets Cafe Zaiya

You would think that New York City would be at the forefront of all hot dog stand innovations.  And yet somehow Vancouver totally beat us to the punch on this one.  A hot dog topped with Japanese condiments.  Simple and amazing.  How popular would one of these stands be in Midtown? 

I had the Oroshi, and wrote about it for Serious Eats.  Read about it here:   http://www.seriouseats.com/eating_out/2007/09/serious-sandwiches-the-japadog.html

    There used to be an awesome street-cart vendor who used to work late nights on the LES, who would served kimchi on hot dogs and other assorted Korean foods.

    I could personally go for a NYC equivalent to the hot dogs available in Reykjavik: “rémoulade sauce, fried crisp onions, raw chopped onions, ketchup and mustard.”
