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

I believe near Garden City mall that a new Arby's is under construction.    I'd assume it's near completion since it's seemed like they started work on it nearly a year ago. 

I spend most of my time in Thompson these days, but it's good to know that Arby's will be around whenever I come back to the city.

Any details on where? I drive down McPhillips all the time and I haven't seen anything like this? Is it on the Leila side? I see weekly updates on Reddit about the one underway near Seasons of Tuxedo but this is the first mention I have heard about the Garden City.

Yeah I want to know too I take the bus home near garden city and I don't recall anything new going in unless it's across from the mall (either near.HD or the JYSK) or the other side with everything else

It appears that I was incorrect and was mixed up with when 5 Guys was being build by Garden City. 

 

The new Arby's location is apparently being constructed  in the seasons of Tuxedo!    As if that area doesn't already have a million restaurants already.

That area is normally a test ground for US originated businesses even though Arby's has been here before (the Waverly end of the city is bigger than my end of the city)

I just noticed the sign says "illions"  that is funny! 

and it turns out the E Coli was in the Onions, not the beef

So I decided that I wanted to come back to Underdogs for my birthday because I have explained how it's a nostalgic gamers dream I actually got to have the mozza sticks they're so gooey

 

I had the big Ched with fries (I gotta figure out how to do those fries from scratch)

and apparently Earl of Sandwich closed and is now being replaced with Kinton Ramen

well this is an expansion I can forget about

My Earl of Sandwich experience:

Me - Ooh, we have an Earl of Sandwich now. I should check it out.

Also Me - Didn't.

and Boston Pizza has unveiled it Holiday Menu...it's well I should be excited for the Brie dip but I'm not also I'm not a fan of Sticky Toffee pudding

So this year I'm not doing scratch hot chocolate (I didn't have any planned because I thought I would be able to pull off making hot chocolate bombs from scratch.....turns out I could pull them out of the molds okay but I can't seem to even out the edges and that's kind of a deal breaker) I also made brownies from the mix from one of Dolly's lines

KFC has released its holiday menu and they have brought back the double down as the festive double down yeah that's in the hell no pile

Belle's kitchen and music hall has their signage up I didn't expect a big neon sign 

so from what Hal Anderson reports this is how Belle's is going to work

also, Pizza 204 is no more on Kent, it's now an Oven Delight, essentially the same idea but there's calzones

Firehouse subs has opened on Taylor from what I heard it's bigger

God movie theatre food is expensive these days nevermind the cost of a ticket, sure I could use the extra scene points but still

You mean $30 for a popcorn , soda, and one candy is not reasonable?  

I now understand why my Mom always would bring her big purse to the movies when I was a child.    We continue that tradition as I don't feel like dropping $100+ dollars on popcorn and drinks when instead we can go to Dollarama/WalMart and get a whole lot more of snacks for only a fraction of the price.

This is Junxion I'm sure if it was the older theatre the stuff would have been less expensive I'm talking about, but it also serves me right for getting additional food like a chicken sandwich and the cheese curds, I better resist the urge to order food when I go see Mufasa next month (just Water and Popcorn) or maybe I'm just also too greedy about earning Scene Points
