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

so a 75 year old wiener place that's been at the forks for as long as I can remember is being replaced by a different wiener place

Skinners is garbage anyway.

this is kind of a bummer, there are so many pizza places on my end of town......I guess this place was doomed as soon as 'Za, Panizza and Little Pizza Heaven came here, and Pizza hut made it's grand return to Transcona

oh yeah apparently Cathay House is going to become a club or something

Lol how is Cathay House still around

well it obviously isn't now since their sign is gone

How does any Papa Murphy's stay in business when you can get a stuffed crust Delissio that tastes just as good for less than half the price?

Because your info is the not accurate.  They have one of the few buffets that are still under $10

Also, there's the 5 5 5 deal when you buy one large pizza at full price

I don't have a problem with their pizza.  It is what it is; once in a while it's okay, but I wouldn't want to eat it every week

I'm guessing that people didn't find the take home and bake thing appealing

The last time I went a few years back it was obscenely expensive ordering off the menu.   Like Boston Pizza insane expensive......

The deals at Dominos absolutely blew it away...

Especially when the u-bake is resting in the freezer already cause you bought it at Wally.

Ok, I can see how that could happen.  You have to go with the lunch buffet or one of their specials. A & W is like that too, if you don’t use their coupons. 

I remember ordering a stuffed cheese crust pizza and a 2nd hawaiian and my bill was something around $55.  

I could go to Dominos and get 7 medium 2 topping pizzas for that same price....

Went to Carne steakhouse restaurant on Saturday.  Wow...that steak was damn good.  Mushrooms, good.  Potatoes, good.  Brussel sprouts, good.  The only thing that lacked was the Tiramisu.  It was a little dry and didn't have enough coffee flavor in it.  Until my wife poured some of her cappuccino into the dessert and we mixed it up.  Then it tasted really good.  Not cheap, but man was it amazing steak.

What I didn't like...the beef was corn or grain fed to get a certain marbling.  I'd rather support businesses that have grass fed beef as it's healthier for you.

well I'm going to  be trying PF Chang's tonight, this will be a new experience for me since this I'm used to the stuff at the place near the Burger King on my end of town

Uh no the place I was referring to is practically next door to burger king

well I just came back from PF Chang's. The food was good, good enough for me to want to come back. They have metal utensils on request, yep they actually do chopsticks there (plastic reusable chopsticks that is) so of course I gave them a try, I decided to practice with them by trying to pick up my napkin with them

 

 

oh and I learned that the fortune cookies are actually made by PF Chang's and so are the fortunes

Mostly focused on Pier 7 I guess. But the owner has a lot of business holdings and a ton of money.   Wouldn’t be surprised to see pier 7 re-developed one day (luxury condos/apartments)

So in order to stop me from buying Bus Tickets from 7-11 (because I don't know if my peggo points have expired) I went with my mother to Dairy Queen mostly because once again they have unveiled their summer blizzards (including a Wonder Woman 84 promotional blizzard but that won't be out for awhile) they unveiled a Coffee Crisp blizzard among the limited time flavours, so I now ask who did it better, McDonalds, DQ or BDI?

 

McDonalds actually had Coffee Crisp as one of their original flavours when the McFlurry arrived in 1997 (because it started around the same time George of the Jungle came out) along with Orea, Smarties and Fudge-o, I actually do remember having the Coffee Crisp one a few times and liking it then it went away, it resurfaced a number of years later but I didn't like what they did with it because I kind of felt they put some kind of Coffee sauce in it, but sadly these days McD's are known for skimping on their mixings especially when the LTOs came around (the Cadbury creme egg has so much wasted potential there)

DQ: well I just had that today and it seems they use chocolate ice cream in there, but at least they don't really skimp on the mix-ins, they don't even do that with the limited time stuff, but I still keep remembering when they kept running out of the S'more mix ins before the promotion was over

BDI: they don't really mess with anything, they deliver what's promised at least (but I hate how big their "small" size is)

 

To be fair I gotta give it to BDI because they don't skimp and the clusters are big enough to satisfy and their ice cream is delicious, I will basically rate DQ's take as "Now that I've tried it, I don't have to order it again, that doesn't mean I hate it it just means I find it average)
