iHeart Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) It could be anything because I know it won't be the Big Breakfasts return, because I spoke to a cashier from there awhile back she said it's unlikely it will return due to cooking capacity, and this was an issue long before COVID reared it's ugly head...and ultimately made the decision for them (and that's why we won't see the Morning McWrap back either, scrambled eggs take up space) stay tuned later when I review a set of corn dogs from the Chun Chung Rice Dog, I'll review tomorrow Edited August 28, 2021 by iHeart Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Won't be McPizza because that would require new equipment and major changed to the kitchens. Probably McRib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Not sure if this is the right thread, but the wife and I are on our annual (sometimes twice annual) local brewery tour around Winnipeg today. We started at OGC for lunch and a beer, then Torque and Oxus. Then booted over to Sookrams and now sitting at Kilter. Winnipeg lags behind Cgy/Edm a bit in terms of breweries but the ones you do have are solid. blue_gold_84 and Super Duper Negatron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have done all 3 (Stone Angel is a GREAT pre-Bombers game spot) and feature some of my favourite beers. TCB's "Lamplighter Amber" and Barn Hammers "Grandpa's Old Wool Sweater" (Sp??) Oatmeal Stout are just fabulous beers. Stone Angel has several good ones and the owner is a gem.... Angry old Brit who's fired up over anti vaxxers....

JCon Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Spicy nuggets? Is this true? Simplot makes the McDs fries out of the very best potatoes you can buy, grown right here in Manitoba! Great fries. Mark H. and GCJenks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHeart Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) well if I do recommend anything from the Rice Dog place, they actually have a corn dog that's nothing but Mozzarella, it's literally a big ass mozza stick on a stick. They have one that literally has just chocolate in it (have they ever thought of doing something similar with Bananas? ) I meant to order the one with Rice Cake it needs a second location, and one on my end of town because this was a three hour trip for me that I had to take by bus, the bus I take goes past the school I work at so that would be an easy trip (except the bus just has to take a break.....which is a problem if they are late) Edited August 28, 2021 by iHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked that they pulled it off. This is great! I was so suspicious and not optimistic when they started the refurb on this. Too bad I don't work downtown anymore or I would have been down there after it opened. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took way to freaking long for this to happen. City sold it, some guys cannibalized the pumps, sold it back to the city at a higher price then someone added a butt ugly apartments on stilts on the east end. Having said that, can't wait to visit. iHeart u buying? Edited August 30, 2021 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
