So anyone go anywhere good lately, with iHop opening on monday (surely this one will be better than the one in grand forks service wise) I'm kind of wondering if anyone has been anywhere decent recently

 

a month ago I went with my friends to canadian brewhouse.....man that was a good burger but a word to the wise, do not get an appetizer if you also plan on getting the John Candy Burger it's the second most expensive thing there...but man those garlic fingers were excellent, but there were more than I thought so I asked "anyone want to share my fingers?" which they gladly did

 

I can assure you that the John Candy Burger is nothing like whatever John Candy like item that Rumors Comedy Club has....it was just two patties compared to the Rita Challenge

 

I'm not sure if anyone has made a restaurant thread yet so I'm just leaving this here

Interesting that they're making these edible capsules out of seaweed, sure looks like plastic to me.  It would be great if they figured out how to use land weeds and other plant fibre to cut down on plastic production.  Stripping the oceans of seaweed would be a disaster for marine life.

It's just farmed seaweed that they use for food products.

There are several varieties, including kelp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed_farming

The main food species grown by aquaculture in Japan, China and Korea include Gelidium, Pterocladia,[ Porphyra, and Laminaria.

I agree, Costco foot longs and fries are really good! Our choice for BBQ dogs. 

Costco is considered good hot dogs?

I hadn’t heard that.  They definitely have very long lines whenever I’m there.  I don’t eat them a lot but if I feel like BBQ’ing cheap I’ll pick up a pack of their foot longs.  I like them!

It's popular because of the price in Winnipeg,   everyone I know buys them then regrets eating them with gut rot after.  

I find Skinners dissssgusting and apparently many others online agree (boiled generic weener) ,  Personally I find many hot dog carts around town to be much better.

Well the Costco's are self serve like McD's now. You can order and pay at a kiosk and wait for your number to come up.

I wish they would get rid of the umbrellas at the table.

Agree with Brandon.  Costco hotdogs are disgusting.  Same with Skinners.  It's like the lowest quality of food just above Ikea's garbage.

Try hotdogs from Winnipeg Old Country Sausage.  If you don't like those - then you really don't like hotdogs.

Isn't that what Skinners use?  

Also boiling hot dogs is yucccccccck,  open fire is the way to go!
