Restaurant Review!
Fetch l Vancouver l Corner of Abbot and Water St.
The mountains are as majestic as ever, crouching over the city in a shroud of mist and snow laden evergreens. I drove over the Lion’s Gate Bridge to find a grey colored watercolor painting on my right with tankers set against the back drop of Spanish banks. On my left, the sun was just peaking through and glancing off the glass spires of downtown. The air had an invigorating purity. Now that I’m back in Vancouver, what could be better than a bracing stroll in the bright winter air?
Finding a hot dog stand on the corner of Abbot and Water St. That’s what. Opened by the same people who brought us Salt Tasting Room, it has the same philosophy of simple ingredients and fantastic condiments. The hot dog itself was an all meat affair served on brioche. Meaty and satisfying, the only thing that made it better was a piling heap of traditional English relish and mustard. There is a surprising array of sauces and toppings with which to dress your hot dog and an even greater number of combinations. Standing on the cobbled streets of Gastown with the mountains and city wrapped around me, I took languid chews of my hot dog and stared at the embarrassment of riches around me.
