Let's Go 🏈Looking for game-day appropriate snacks? Here are our top 5 places to get an awesome hot dog in Victoria to fuel your lion's pride 🦁

🌭Good Time Glizzy - Market Square (Whistle Buoy Patio)
Whats better than a hotdog + a beer? Catch Emilie and Jamie serving up hotdogs on the Whistle Buoy Brewing patio.

🌭 Bobadog - 1108 Blanshard St
Victoria's version of Japadog but better! We are big fans of the Soeulmate - a pork hot dog topped with kimchi, honey, carrots, and sesame seeds.

🌭Smile Chicken - 1001 Douglas St
The holy grail of corndogs! These Korean delicacies are vastly different then their North American counterpart. We like our sprinkled in sugar and doused in their homemade honey mustard and ketchup. They also have a cheese version for our veggie friends.

🌭 Saint Franks - 727 Yates Street
This is the place to go when you have that 11pm hotdog hankering! With a massive variety to choose from, this is a hotdog loving mecca. The Saint Frank dog is a must try - topped with pepper & corn relish, spicy aioli, candied bacon, and crispy onions.

🌭 Hotdog Guys - Tillicum Mall
Some seriously good dogs not in the downtown core. They have gluten free options galore and their veggie dog is awesome.
