Smoke Break #708: Memories Of Japadog Will Kill You In Japan
June 7, 2010
II don’t know why, but I’ve had a hell of a time writing my review of the new brick and mortar location of Japadog for the paper. First I went too long, then I pared it down too short, and then I just couldn’t write a coherent sentence to save my life.

This is sort of weird, no? Or do we really need a sit down hot dog joint?
