Tubby dog is a Calgarian hot dog joint, full of expected dog kitsch, star trek cartoons and pin ball machines.
The restaurant offers sides such as onion rings (aka onion doughnuts), yam chips and great home cut french fries. You may also purchase pickled eggs, Twinkies or full sour dill pickles.
My reaction to this restaurant is bittersweet. I would like to think that hot dogs always spell success, but (dare I say?) these dogs are rich, messy and a challenge to devour. Not the best for a first date. Packed with fillings such as coleslaw, sauerkraut, onions, potato chips, cheese (cheese sauce), egg, relish, ham, peameal bacon...there is even a wasabi dog and one wrapped in bacon then deep fried. Suffice it to say, while my appetite wants to have it all, my stomach feels the pain. This food is the stuff of heart attacks.
N.B. The sides pictured above and below are half sizes. Beware these colossal portions and their low enticing prices!
Whew! Ouch!
