It' Dog - Gourmet Hot Dogs and Fried Chicken
My hubby loves hot dogs. So, when he heard of this new restaurant that serves gourmet dogs and fried chicken - well, we just had to go. Plus, in all honestly - a hot dog just hits the spot sometimes.
Located in the old Bad Ass Jack's establishment on 109 Street, right next to Remedy Cafe. The place has been only open for only a few months, and we've been there twice already and will continue to return. It's really good, reasonable and quick.
When you walk in, you'll hear Korean pop music and see music videos on big screens. The place is clean and I can't complain about the service. The folks who work there have been friendly the two times we were there.
The restaurant doesn't have a website (yet), but you can follow them on Facebook. I can't find a twitter account yet either. No matter, I have the details at the end of this post.
You will order and pay at the counter from the menu above - just like any fast food. They will give you a receipt with an order number, when you're food's ready - they'll call out the number and you come to the counter for the tray. There is no food under hot lamps here. The food is freshly made when ordered.
Here are their menu boards:
You might think - What? $10 for a hot dog? It's big and it's stuffed with good ingredients you'll never see on a burger. You pretty much have a meal.
The hot dogs are served in a pretzel bun. I love pretzel buns - finally a form of bread that doesn't break apart or get soggy when placed around meat and condiments.
Speaking of condiments, they have a condiment station you can add to your hot dog (if there was room to add more items). With the toppings, I don't think you need ketchup or mustard.
This was my hot dog on the first outing in January. The Truffle Mac and cheese. That's fresh jalapenos. Oh, and bacon! How did I forget about the bacon? It was yummy...though our next trip there I had what I think a better dog.
Aaron ordered a three piece Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken and the It' Hot Dog. The hot dog had tempura shrimp and Bulgogi (grilled Korean beef). Tasty! He really enjoyed the hot dog. The chicken (which I took a few bites) was AMAZING! Crispy and light, the sauce was sticky, sweet and a hint of spice.
This picture below is from their Facebook page and it shows the other hot dogs they have. I'll have a hard time ordering another hot dog when I really enjoyed the Crispy Chicken one.
In summary, do you like hot dogs? Yes? Then go here.

Just last Friday, I got the Crispy Chicken Dog. This so far is my FAVOURITE!! It's like having popcorn chicken and a hot dog all in one..well, actually it is. Who ever thought of this idea is genius. It also has a little spicy mayo - yummy. Just a hint of a kick, not mouth burning.
Aaron ordered a three piece Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken and the It' Hot Dog. The hot dog had tempura shrimp and Bulgogi (grilled Korean beef). Tasty! He really enjoyed the hot dog. The chicken (which I took a few bites) was AMAZING! Crispy and light, the sauce was sticky, sweet and a hint of spice.
Last Friday, Aaron ordered the regular fried chicken with a turnip side salad.
As you can see, I forgot to take the picture sooner - and a few pieces were already eaten. The chicken is really good here. Close to a tempura batter, it's really light (not greasy at all) and super crunchy.
The only thing we didn't care for was the pre-packaged salad. It was meh. Aaron wanted to order a vegetable, just to counter act evilness of fried chicken. The turnip was in a light vinegar/sugar dressing. Next time, Aaron said he'll try the potato salad instead.
We also shared a poutine. (It's almost a vegetable)
The poutine was like Costco's - good enough to eat. It was freshly made to order. The guy in the kitchen did hand deliver it to us rather than call out our table number. That was nice of him. It was steaming hot when we got it and the cheesy was stringy.
