Japadog is world famous. They've been featured by media from all over the globe and loved by many famous artist and entertainers.

The name of the their products are the same as the one downtown (terimayo etc)....if i remember correct, that tall skinny nerdy dude even boasted how his tasted better than japadog......i tried it, and for 4~5 dollars....i even laughed at myself for being so dumb as to think it may come close in taste.

plagrism is if they called it japadog as well
it would be more like a replica, which means its similar, but not the same as the original

Well, they do call theirs Terrimayo (vs. Terimayo) and Oroshi (same name).

Would be the same issue if I started a burger joint and sold burgers with two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun and called it Big Mac.

Not sure if technically whether its a "knockoff" or plagarism or replica, but it certainly isn't the most legit of business practices.

I called it knockoff coz it sounds the most absurd for food, and most fitting for the Night Market.

Terimayo and oroshi are both just names like ketchup and mustard. It's just like how every izakaya calls deep fried shrimp with mayo based sauce ebimayo. Not really a big deal.

Now if the name of the booth was Japandog or something like that, then that's pretty bad lol.

It's like the Mac of hot dogs. You get the same thing with a few fancy toppings, but in the end you'd feel like a retard for paying 6-7 bucks for a hot dog. They even have their own fan boys who swear it tastes way better than "regular" hot dogs. :| Sounds like a mac.

you said it right there. me and a lot of other folks would gladly pay the extra $1-2 for the fancy toppings. even in these tough economic times, i'm gonna say $1-2 ain't a thang. sorry if that hurts you to read that i'm straight hot dog ballin.

i've had a fafillion hot dogs in my life. ketchup and mustard gets old. even a decent spot with some grilled onions or sauerkraut gets old.

enter japadog.

also, are you saying that every single hot dog cart in vancouver serves the exact same weiners? that's what you're insinuating. did you also forget that a place like japadog has such high turnover that you get a relatively fresh dog? whereas joe blow might have that same package going for far far longer.

Rofl. It's a hot dog for god sakes. Who the hell cares if the sausages were made from the finest bull testicles. Would you buy and use designer toilet paper? No, because in the end it's still toilet paper. You act as if hot dogs are some exquisite rare dish from the far corners of the world.

Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y

do you know the difference between a honda civic and a bmw 7 series?

both get you to work/school/home. yet one is vastly more valuable and superior then the other in nearly every way.

just wondering if you would be bitching and moaning at every 7 series owner that they could have saved money by buying a civic.

nah man, it's all about quality...

when i used to work near robson, there was this one street dude everyone raved about and across the street another one, who i mistakenly tried. Felt sick for the next 5 hours and the meat tasted like beef-flavoured rubber!

SERIOUSLY. THE PANCAKES WITH THE BROWN SUGAR IN THEM. HOLY SHIT, I'VE NEVER TASTED ANYTHING SO AWESOME.

If you didn't understand that, the pancake place at the end corner last year was amazing and cheap for those delectable pancakes that the grandmother made. It was awesome.

Sorry, you can't compare a consumable with something that lasts longer than 2 hours before it comes out of your ass. So your argument does not stand. Quality hot dogs is an oxymoron. It's like being rich among beggars. In the end, you're still a bum.

They replaced it with this potato twist. The grandma that made it last year was making the potato twist whereas the the lady was making the fish waffle thing and the man was taking orders.
