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

Yes. I found the same deal on a scotch last week.

Waiting for one of my favourites to get marked down - would purchase several.

This is a good sale.

https://www.liquormarts.ca/product/canadian-club-classic-12-year-canadian-whisky/114-litre

REG. $45.99

$35.35

SAVE $10.64

Is that a better value than Cracklin' Rose'?

so today I noticed that Shell locations are selling F'real shakes, (the same stuff that they are selling at Junxion) and now I know there are other options (including smoothies)

 

                              

A good deal for a very underrated scotch.

Should be enough to keep your arteries greased.

It's too bad the only food Winnipeg is known for is perogies. Slightly above bannock. 

Imagine being so ignorant to claim Winnipeg is only known for perogies.

Outside of Winnipeg... it is only known for perogies.   

I'm always ranting and raving with my coworkers (out of province) about how much of a diverse variety of restaurants we have in Winnipeg.

Lol. Seems to me you patronize some Selkirk establishments...

LOL I attend establishments all around the province.  If ever in Snow Lake the one single pizza place they have is fantastic.   Grab a pizza and then check out the beautiful rapids and scenery!

I love the incredible of good ethnic foods available in Winnipeg and have come to relish many of them.

The best thing you could do for yourself is to get a panzerotti from Pasquale’s. 
 

 

Pizza Pizza makes decent Panzerotti's

Why settle for decent when exceptional is available? I can’t understand your fixation with lousy chain restaurants. Winnipeg has so many options of scratch made food of so many types it’s insane nor to take advantage of the variety. 
 

Made the trip to Taverna Rosa for lunch today, absolutely incredible Greek cuisine. 

actually I did have a calzone from Little Pizza Heaven once it was really good (yes it's a franchise but it's a LOCAL franchise)

I've had friends growing up  (from Transcona) who never ventured out of the area and would in their minds be eating fine dining such as  7-11 ,  McDonalds, and Foody Goody.    Clearly some groups of people like the lower quality fast food or sit down places otherwise those businesses would of closed shop years ago.   The fact that Cathay House was still open up until a few years ago really does show that even the lowest quality and dirtiest of places can still find customers.

Butbutbut....these are two of the three major food groups: fat. salt and sugar. What's the problem?

wouldn't you be a little disturbed if there was a pool of grease in the box, heck when it arrived my place the box that had the stuff in had quite the grease spot

 

also there must have been something in the Parmesan garnish that made it too salty and since some of that was in the pool of grease....

Pizza Hut pizzas are so greasy you can floor surf with them. Fonzie & Elvis could comb their hair with them.

Breaded veal cutlets, fries, beef gravy and a beer at Cathay House. If you never had this, you're not a true Winnipeger. 😅
