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

No problem. A belt sander will take all that off in short order.

So apparently a sushi joint and Leopold's tavern is going into a place that's being built on Plessis

Nice this end of town needs more sushi places. Leopold's on Henderson is above average so that should be a good addition also.

Man I really miss the restaurants in Winnipeg.   Calgary just doesn't have the same amount of unique places. 

We are making a list for a trip home next summer.  So far it contains Red Top, Sargent Sundae and hopefully a pie from Pizza Hotline (say what you will, but I miss them 😉).

Any suggestions?

BDI over Sargent Sundae.

Fair enough, a classic place, but I have to respectfully disagree.  I'm all about the Rice Krispie Cake creation (blizzard type-thing) they have at SS.

BDI for the location

Sweet Tops for the Ice-cream.

Is Jubilee still closed might be hard to get to BDI?

Park on Kingston Crescent and walk over the bridge to BDI...  much easier than dealing with Jubilee at the best of times.

Using this opportunity to bad-mouth Chaeban ice cream parlour on Osborne South. Unique flavours from Lebanon but not to my taste. Cold Stone Creamery on Corydon is pretty good, though.

So I finally had a chance to try Earl of Sandwich today even if it wasn't open (I didn't see the paper sign that said it was open at 11) but the person served me anyway, I am currently munching on the mac n cheese beef sandwich it's actually okay, I gave the person that served me a good tip

Monstrosity Burger is wondering where all their customers went, their stupidity is going to leave them penniless

Yes. Forgot they changed their name several years ago when Tim Hortons cut them loose.

oh but weren't they always two separate businesses?

The same parent company owns/owned Tim Horton's, Burger King, Popeyes and a couple of other food chains, but if memory serves, it wasn't happy with the performance of their ice cream franchises so they sold off the locations, with the proviso that they change the name.

Just the toppings? 🤔

Okay so my prayers are being answered...sort of, I went to ChungChuns on Jefferson today and though the cashier sounded kind of annoyed at the number of items I ordered I had explained to him that I lived far from that location (despite working in the school division on that end) and then he told me that another location is opening, albeit on Osborne...well it kind of closer but not close enough for me to want to take any trips there in the winter, however this means the business is catching on maybe it will open another location 

geez it even McDonalds couldn't make this work

 

Tim Hortons should try going back to making fresh donuts and fresh food.
