Bob's Barbie: A Quality Dog That Isn't Fast Food








Got a hankering for a dog? Not the barking kind mind you. Not motivated to go all they way to Daejeon train station to visit Steff Hotdog? You're in luck! Bob's Barbie in Dunsan can quiet your stomach's grumbling for a good quality hotdog. We had heard of this place for some time. I initially tried the meat pie. It wasn't great, but a nice change to the palette. I did only have the meat pie, so I can only imagine the other choices may be more enticing. (Check out the menu picture)





On my second visit I decided to try a dog. They have a nice variety to choose from, so I asked HaeRi and DongChul for a recommendation.





DongChul indicated the Double Cheese dog was a popular choice. Keep in mind, this isn't a fast food joint. It took approximately 15 minutes for DongChul to cook the dog and dress it up. I find that
comforting. I'm not getting a dog that has been basking under a heat lamp for hours.









On my third visit, I decided to get a set for just under 6,000 won. I chose the BBQ dog this time, it was nice with a little bit of heat (spicy). If my memory serves me correctly, Steff hotdog is a bit more expensive than Bob's Barbie. While DongChul cooked the dog, HaeRi took out the individual portion of fries out of the freezer and fried them up. No soggy fries from under a heat lamp which you commonly experience from chain restaurants.



Bob's hotdog holders have a nice slider tab on the bottom. You can slide out a bite sized portion if you aren't a fan of getting your hands messy. Need directions? Check out the map below.
