Happiness found at Japadog

I love Japadog and not the hotdog itself but the flavour they create. As you can see from this blog, we go to Japanese restaurants frequently and Japadog recreates those flavour profiles in hotdog sandwich form.

Plus they have french fries drenches in Japanese Curry Sauce. Two things I love in one dish.
