Japadog

Japadog is a hotdog stand in Vancouver that serves hotdogs and sausages with Japanese toppings. Ice Cube liked it so much he ate there ten times. We had an Oroshi, a bratwurst with grated raddish, "special soy" and green onion, and an Okonomi, a kurobuta pork sausage with okonomi sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, fried cabbage, and dried bonito flakes.

I have heard of all the famous people listed on the Japadog sign, except for "Ootsuki Proffesor". Who is he?

A deHavilland Beaver DHC-2 in West Coast Air livery, a deHavilland Otter DHC-3 in Kenmore Air yellow and white livery, and our blue and yellow Kenmore Air Otter docked in Victoria, BC. I rode in the co-pilot's seat, where I was told not to touch anything.
