Vancouver trip in April.

Visited a friend in Vancouver at the end of April and really enjoyed the city and its food. Coffee culture is at a different level compared to Toronto and honestly some of the best coffee and cafes I have been to in the last few years.

Woah what, this entire time I thought you lived in Canada 🏃

I did live in Vancouver for two years! but UK is home, much as I detest many aspects of it at the moment. I miss Canada a lot though and I frequently get 'homesick' for Van, I don't know what else to call it.

National Hot Dog Day 

Savor sizzling sausages in a bun with friends and family, experiment with various toppings and see how many you can wolf down on Hot Dog Day.

The sun is out, you’re at the amusement park, and the rollercoaster is filling the air with the clack-clack-clack of wheels on rails. The scent of a thousand different fair foods fill the air, but one stands out above all the rest. It’s rich, it’s savory, it’s the smell of a thousand mysterious meat products put into one delicious sausage casing, broiled up on a flame grill, and sent out on a bun with all the fixings. National Hot Dog Day celebrates this most delicious and tantalizing of treats, and its extensive history!

Learn about National Hot Dog Day

A lot of people are going to have fond memories of eating hot dogs. For some people, this reminds them of some of the fairs and fetes that they used to go to when they were younger. For others, it may remind them of the barbecues that they used to have with their families.

Or, maybe a hot dog is always your go-to snack when you go to a football or basketball game? There is no denying that hot dogs are tasty, yet we can’t eat them every day, as they’re not exactly bursting with nutrients. That’s why National Hot Dog Day is the perfect excuse for you to indulge in this treat.

A hot dog is simply a steamed or grilled sausage sandwich whereby the sausage is typically served within a finger bun, which is partially sliced to fit the sausage inside. The sausage used is a frankfurter or a wiener, which is a Vienna sausage.

Hot dog condiments and preparation vary regionally. For example, some of the typical garnishes include olives, bacon, coleslaw, grated cheese, chili, jalapenos, sauerkraut, onions. Typical condiments include cheese sauce, relish, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.

History of National Hot Dog Day

Given the National Hot Dog Day is an international event, where it begins and who sponsors it tends to vary by region. In the USA it’s primarily the industry partners that participate in promoting it, whereas in other countries around the world it may be historical organizations celebrating the role it played in their history.

Did you know that the Frankfurter was named for the Germany city of Frankfurt, where it was said to originate? Well now you do! There’s even multiple varieties of Hot Dogs! The original hot dogs came in a natural casing, which in case you didn’t know were made from the small intestines of sheep. Intestines were regularly used for making all kinds of sausages, hotdogs included!

Then you have skinless hotdogs, in order to hold them together they’re cooked in a cellulose casing that gets taken off when they get packaged. Since cellulose is kosher and cheaper than kosher intestine, this is often how the frankly (heh heh) delicious Kosher Hot Dogs are often made.

National Hot Dog Day is celebrated all over, and if you’ve ever enjoyed a warm hot frank at a summer BBQ, then you’re no doubt celebrating too!

How to Celebrate National Hot Dog Day

The best way is to serve yourself up a great meal with hot dogs! Our personal favorite is the old classic, home-made mac and cheese served with slices of hot dog in it. We also really enjoy hot dogs in our chili, that’s if we don’t have a bun to make a classic chili dog.

Get all your friends together in your backyard and encourage them to bring their favorite frankfurters and condiments. Share stories of your first hot-dog, and all the memories you have around this classic summertime treat. There’s something about a hot dog with the slight char that comes from being grilled that always has us waiting for National Hot Dog Day.

If you really do want to do something a bit different on National Hot Dog Day, why not join a hot dog eating contest? If you think that you are going to be able to eat a lot of hot dogs within a specified period of time, you never know; you could end up being the champion!

However, we better warn you that there are people who enter eating contests for a living, and they train their bodies specifically for the task, so you’re going to be up against some stiff competition. Nevertheless, this can certainly be a fun and unusual thing to do, and you’re going to get to eat some hot dogs in the process, so everyone’s a winner, right?

If you take a look online, you will be able to see any food-eating contests that are going in your area. Of course, you could decide to host your own hot dog eating contest, between friends and family. This will certainly be a fun way to spend the day, and you will have more chance of winning. You could get everyone to pay an ‘entry-fee’ and this could be the prize fund for the winner.

Another way to celebrate National Hot Dog Day is by making your own hot dog creation. Hot dogs are typically served with ketchup, mustard, and onions, depending on your taste.

However, why not have fun experimenting with different toppings, to see what sort of creations you can come up with? There are so many different options, including crumbled gorgonzola, baked beans, grilled pineapple, pickled green beans, caramelized onions, and much more. You don’t know until you try it!

Crispy bacon is another popular one. Or, why not go for something completely unusual and out-of-the-box? You never know, you may be able to come up with the next big thing in hot dogs! If you do, be sure to share a photo on Instagram to get everyone’s mouth drooling!

Japadog, 200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Has it really been ten years since I spotted the Japadog cart in Little Tokyo? I guess it has been. I forgot about the cart during the pandemic and only recently realized it was still open at the Santa Monica Pier. It’s the only location outside of Canada.

The cart options are more limited than the physical restaurants. The cart used to have 10 kinds of hot dogs and now there are only five kinds. However, they added Takoyaki, nachos, and matcha lemonade.

#2 kurobuta okonomi ($9.79): Kurobuta pork sausage, cabbage, bonito flakes, Japanese mayo & special Japanese sauce. It’s still so good. The pork sausage was firm and juicy, the toppings delicious and interesting. The sesame bun was warm. They didn’t skimp on the toppings.

Cash is not accepted.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

I can’t wait to share these - we went on a Psych trip to Vancouver for my wife’s birthday. And got to see some of the filming locations from Psych!! Which is our favorite show. It’s always on repeat. It’s so crazy to me that so many locations are exactly the same! Especially since I think the show ended about 10 years ago

Some places we saw- the Psych office, the Santa Barbara police station, Henry’s house (not pictured because they have privacy plants in front now) the beach walk & pier- that famous rocky Santa Barbara beach lol- We had lunch at the restaurant where Shawn & Gus run up the hill & accuse Eugenia of murder. Went to the overlook in Vancouver (also not pictured because I don’t have enough room but I’ll probably share it somewhere else) & The Capilano Suspension bridge & their little version of scare fest which was just as kitschy as the show’s version.

& of course we had a japadog & a bunch of fun treats we found everywhere we when in honor of Shawn & Gus

Three ladies working the mall japadog place. Bumbling around each other, changing work stations like musical chairs, basically zero productivity. McDonald's crew would've had a lot to teach them.

The Top 7 Best Street Food in Canada

 Canada, a country renowned for its diverse population and expansive landscapes, has as varied a street food culture as its citizens. From the vibrant metropolises of Vancouver and Toronto to the quaint lanes of Quebec City, Canadian street food offers a delectable blend of international culinary influences. Leading roles in this culinary mosaic are classic recipes that have come to represent street food in Canada.

Poutine, a national treasure, is a flavourful symphony of crispy fries, Savory gravy, and squeaky cheese curds. For those who have a sweet tooth, BeaverTails are delicious pastries with an assortment of sweet toppings that provide a filling treat. The sound of Japadog, a blend of Japanese cuisine and North American spicy food, reverberates throughout Canadian streets.

The famous peameal bacon sandwich, bannock, butter tarts, and Montreal-style bagels all stand out as culinary treasures that each highlight a different facet of Canada's rich culinary history as one explores the country's many culinary landscapes. Come along on a mouthwatering tour of some of Canada's best street meals, where each mouthful narrates a tale of creativity, history, and mouthwatering tastes that make Canadian street cuisine really remarkable.

 Here are some of the best street foods in Canada.

1. Poutine Artistry: An Iconic Canadian Tradition: Poutine, the national cuisine of Canada, is a top contender for the finest street food in the nation. This delicious Quebec-style dish consists of golden fries that are crispy on the outside and topped with squeaky cheese curds and creamy gravy. Poutine is a popular street meal all throughout the country because of its unique blend of tastes and textures. You can always find a local seller selling this beloved Canadian dish, whether you're in the quaint little streets of Montreal or the busy streets of Toronto.

 2. BeaverTails: A Sweet Delight for All Taste Buds: On the streets of Canada, BeaverTails provides a delicious experience for anyone with a sweet taste. Shaped like beaver tails, these hand-stretched, deep-fried pastries are served with a variety of toppings. These pastries, which range from traditional cinnamon sugar to rich chocolate hazelnut, are a typical Canadian treat. The scent of freshly fried BeaverTails is likely to entice your taste buds, whether you're touring Ottawa's historic ByWard Market or strolling along Vancouver's shoreline.

3.Japadog: Combination Tastes on a Bun: Japadog is a street food phenomenon that combines Japanese and Canadian Flavors and has become quite popular in metropolitan areas. Japadog, which started in Vancouver, is a combination of traditional North American hot dogs with Japanese spices. Imagine a flawlessly cooked sausage covered with Japanese mayo, seaweed, and teriyaki sauce. Because of its distinctive fusion of culinary styles, japadog is now a street snack that both residents and visitors should eat.

4. Montreal-Style Bagels: An Original Take on a Classic: Although they may not be limited to street food, bagels prepared in Montreal offer a distinctive take on this traditional dish. Montreal bagels are hand-rolled, boiled in water sweetened with honey, and cooked to perfection in wood-fired ovens. They are denser, smaller, and sweeter than their New York counterparts. These bagels are perfect for snacking on while exploring Montreal's lively districts. They're commonly offered with different spreads, like cream cheese or smoked salmon.

5.Bannock: Ancient Origins, Contemporary Pleasure: Bannock, a street food staple in Canada, has its origins in Indigenous cuisine. The history of this flatbread, which is usually baked or fried, stretches back to before Europeans arrived in the nation. These days, bannock is consumed in a variety of ways, including Savory and sweet. It's probable that you'll come across a food truck or vendor selling this adaptable and delectable Indigenous delight, whether you're strolling through the streets of Yellowknife or right in the middle of Winnipeg.

6. Butter Tarts: A Delectable Canadian Treat: Originating in Ontario, butter tarts are a traditional Canadian treat that has made its way onto street corners. These mouthwatering pastries have a flaky pastry shell covering an oozy, buttery interior. Butter tarts are the epitome of a treat for any sugar craving, whether they are eaten simple or topped with raisins or nuts. It's a truly Canadian culinary experience to find a street vendor selling these delicious delicacies, particularly during festivals and gatherings.

7. A Quick and Easy Breakfast Option: Peameal Bacon Sandwich: A Canadian staple for a substantial street food breakfast is the peameal bacon sandwich. Often called a "Toronto sandwich" or "peameal bacon sandwich," this meal is made out of back bacon, or peameal bacon, served on bread with toppings like lettuce and tomato and sometimes mustard. For both locals and visitors, it's a delightful way to start the day. This filling and flavourful alternative has become a street mainstay in Toronto and beyond.

 As we wave adieu to the enticing realm of street food in Canada, it is clear that the varied culinary scene reflects the nation's heterogeneous fabric. The streets of Canada provide a cross-border culinary journey, from the famous poutine to the sweet treat of BeaverTails and the savory fusion of Japadog.

In addition to showcasing Canada's culinary skills, these street food treats act as cultural ambassadors, showcasing the country's rich past and the influences of Indigenous customs, European settlers, and international cuisines. The Montreal-style bagels, bannock, butter tarts, and peameal bacon sandwiches serve as a tribute to the culinary inventiveness that characterizes street food in Canada as one navigates the busy streets.

Getting a Canada visa is essential for anybody thinking about traveling to sample these gastronomic delights firsthand since it opens up a world of delicious possibilities. As you relish the final morsels of these delicious street meals, the experience transforms from a culinary journey into a memorable cultural immersion that tantalizes the palates of both tourists and residents. The tastes of street cuisine from Canada cling to the palate like a tantalizing invitation, calling everyone to Savor the delectable and distinctive selections available throughout the lively streets of this friendly and diverse country.

Drop your rules and restrictions around eating and join a movement of no-shaming body positivity and health-focused education on International No Diet day.

There has been a long-standing movement to shed the shame typically associated with being less than Hollywood perfect. The photoshopped images found in fashion and beauty magazines have been marked as a direct cause of a rising instance of eating disorders among the youth.

Too long has health been associated with unrealistic body types and unhealthy, dangerous fad diets. International No Diet Day has been pushed forward with the intention of promoting healthy lifestyles for all body types.

History of International No Diet Day

International No Diet Day

International No Diet Day was first started by Mary Evans in 1992. The purpose of the day was to help men and women around the world to appreciate their own bodies. Having gone through anorexia herself, Mary began Diet Breakers, which is her organization. She then created the first International No Diet Day, bringing attention to the cause, and of course, her organization as well. Now, the day is used to help tackle tough issues regarding diet and body awareness, focusing on a number of agendas. This includes the following…

Educating people about the right way to diet responsibly and effectively

Having all people take a one-day break from their diets

Celebrating the diversity of different shapes and sizes

Bodies can be beautiful at all shapes and sizes, with both the svelte look of the athletic beach nut and the more Grecian and Rubenesque body types merely exemplifying the natural body type. Considering that the failures of dieting often result in yoyo-ing weight, with all of the weight lost being regained in almost every case within 5 years. To combat these incredibly unhealthy habits organizations all over the world have been engaged in forcing the fashion industry to label those images that have been modified, or outlawing the use of photoshop altogether.

How to celebrate International No Diet Day

Celebrating International No Diet Day is best done by recognizing that your own body is beautiful exactly as it is. De-emphasizing your efforts to shed weight to look a particular way, it is far better to celebrate the holiday with efforts at beginning to live a healthier lifestyle altogether. Worry less about your final goal, and more about getting out and being active and keeping your body healthy. Losing weight rapidly or shooting for unrealistic body types is an excellent way of causing yourself harm in the pursuit of greater health. Instead, love your body by finding active hobbies and love yourself the way you look!

There are a number of different ways that you can participate in International No Diet Day. This includes the following…

Help end weight discrimination, fatphobia, and sizeism.

Understand the inefficacy of commercial diets and learn about the diet industry.

Embrace body diversity and challenge the idea of one ‘right’ body shape.

Declare a day that is free from dieting and obsessing about shape and weight.

Compliment colleagues on contributions, achievements, and skills, rather than focusing on appearance.

Here are some of the suggestions that we have to help you make the most of this day…

Eat what you love! Don’t worry about the calories or anything like this. Instead, eat what you truly want to eat because it tastes good. Let that be your only concern today.

Throw away your scales. Don’t judge yourself based on a number. You will be surprised by how liberating this feels.

Instead, celebrate and embrace your intrinsic qualities, such as your uniqueness, quirkiness, kindness, or strength, for instance!

Be adventurous and cook something that you have always wanted to but you have never cooked before.

You can also use International No Diet Day in order to make people aware of different eating disorders. There are so many ways that you can go about this. If you have had your own personal experience and you feel ready to share it, you may take this opportunity to start a blog about it. You could also decide to fundraise for those who are struggling with eating disorders. Whether you raise funds or you simply raise awareness, you are going to be doing a great thing to help a lot of people.

However, you should not feel guilty about simply using this day as an opportunity to look after number one! After all, we all need to care for ourselves as well. Why not make a list of all of the things you love about your body? Now is the perfect time to start focusing on the positive rather than the negative. Most of us have a tendency to focus on the things we dislike instead of focusing on what we do like about our bodies. Today is the perfect time for you to change this!

The real question for D20 fans is, if you were racing across your hometown and you were tired and hungry and needed to grab something to eat, what would be your city’s iconic pick-me-up quick meal of choice?
