There' s nothing like embracing a country and its culture through their food, México tbh has some of the greatest cuisines i've known, im happy to see it pop 3 times in this video. If you ever visit México be sure to try as much as you can, you wont be dissappointed.

Japadogs were one of my top favorite foods in Vancouver. I managed to try every single version from stall (each stall had a particular one sold only there). Definitvely worth trying.

[@blondi4980]

That food on the thumbnail looks so delicious!

[@gendoll5006]

In the Japadof, I love the condiment dispenser that looks like mayo and has like 4-5 tiny nozzles. It makes such a pretty effect and is much more evenly spread out! I need one! Lol!

[@Farrisaja]

[@Rose-bi2rg]

I'm from Vancouver and I absolutely ADORE Japadogs! Whenever my parents or friends would go downtown we'd go to the Art Gallery then grab a J-dog! Good to see my memories captured in a video

Not to be a stickler, but for future reference... ONE is a "tamal." MORE than one, is a bunch of "tamales." "Tamale"... well, it just ain't a word. But they all look delicious just the same! :)

[@MyOneEdit]

Fusion cuisine is best of both cultures. There is Japanese Peruvian place near me; it is so yummy.

[@dli199214]

japadog has 5 locations in Vancouver B.C Canada. they have bigger sausage then the normal hotdog stands in town and they boil them in water for a bit before grilling it and with different toppings. lots of celeb chefs have taken pictures of it in the past. sometimes when anyone exit Vancouver international airport sometimes sees their cart park outside. I usually have 3 or 4, when I head downtown.
