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

Going with the dark pumpernickel today.  Nothing wrong with a loaf of KUB though or Natural or City rye.  Lots of good options.

Liver pate on crackers - Yaaaay or Naaay

I see your pate and raise you home - grown, breaded liver with onions & fries.

Sign me up.   Few times a year liver is great.   Couldn't do it weekly.

It’s excellent, especially chicken liver.  We grow our own chickens, but even then, liver is only available a few times each year.

Yes chicken is far more palatable for me than the beef...

To tell you the truth, any liver other than chicken goes into our composter.

Pork rinds - yaaaah or naaaay

i enjoy them once in a while - the initial whiff when you open the bag can be a bit off putting...once you get into the crispy salty bites it's all good...

Save on foods on mcphillips has mounds of chicken feet in the meat display case...and cooked ones you can buy...probably I would enjoy them - just haven't tried...we raised a small amount of chickens when I was a kid and I saw what those feet stepped in...

Love goose brain.....been a long time since I had any though. Chicken feet? Gross.....

Kind of not what this thread is about really.  This is the restaurant thread.  Not the Yay or Nay on whether you like something thread.  Just create a new post.

I just want to reiterate that Phuong Nam for Vietnamese and Magic Thailand for Thai are still friggin awesome!

Restaurant / food thread.  It is not a busy thread at the best of times. 

Hargrave Market opens in TNS this weekend. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Forks. I think only having one brewer vs what The Common has going on will be a weakness.

Has anyone been to the new Hargrave Street Market? http://www.hargravestmarket.com/

Looks like lots of good food options. I'm not downtown as much during lunch any longer but I'll try to slip down there one of these weekends or evenings.

Went at lunch today... was super packed - they didn't leave a lot of room to line up at the vendors. My brisket hash from Miss Browns was delicious, but you're going to spend at least $15-$20 to get lunch. That might be fine for the suits at TDS, but I'll stick to my brown bag most of the time.

They also have security guards posted to keep the riffraff from CityPlace and Portage Place from wandering over...

I was going to walk over last night but realized that, with the Jets game, it was going to be packed. Thought better of it and passed. Maybe in January on a non-hockey night.
