An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory terms, like jumbo shrimp, bittersweet, and… gourmet hot dog? While you may consider hot dogs as nothing more than classic street food, Woofdawg Hotdog is making a big name for itself in Toronto by proving that the term “gourmet hot dog” is anything but a contradiction.
