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

Just tried Bahn Mi King for the first time today and it is incredible. Of course I can't eat the bread but one of my coworkers had a sub and is raving. I had a beef salad and my mouth is drooling...

Never thought these would make a comeback (has anyone ever had lunch mates?)

Lunchables are returning to Canada after a 15 year abscence

 

Man those things would never fill me up these days but I never tried lunch mates I think I will dare myself with the hot dogs)

well I did try the hot dogs.....I prefer them cooked, and like I said they probably wouldn't fill me up as an adult

🤬

when am I going to get it through my head that no matter where I order from Popeyes is going to have the best chicken sandwich, KFC really dropped the ball with their latest creation, maybe if they put the spices on the onion rings it would do some favors

Popeyes over Jollibee's?

I think Mary Browns over everything. Jollibees spicy chicken is good. It's actually hot when the seasoning is applied well. Not north American hot. Actually hot

Kfc sucks these days. Don't mind Popeyes but I can't handle the no Gravy. I don't like there version 

I kind of wish Jolibees had better variety (yes MB's the better of all the options)

I'm looking for the negative in this.

Not a fan of T-Rex rye - hope their other products are better 

I'm hearing that the old starbucks location at Kildonan crossing is going to be a Press'd Sandwich location.....why would they DO THAT WHEN THERE'S A FIREHOUSE SUBS THAT'S GOING TO BE OPENING A FEW STEPS AWAY? 

 

and I checked the menu it seems underwhelming

I assume they didn't know before signing the lease,  sometimes the process takes over a year before builds are commenced.  

I looked at the the Press'D web page for the other location,   you are correct those sandwiches look underwhelming.   Not as nice as Cha-chi's  and more like a fancier version of the sandwiches you can get at a gas station.    

 

 

Pizza Hut has introduced chicken strips to their menu....yeah I'm likely going to take a pass because I bet they'll be dry

 

Papa John's has better new menu items

Okay if you guys have to try any kind of pizza at the moment Pizza Pizza is celebrating the Jets Whiteout with a Whiteout pizza and as soon as I saw that advertised on Facebook I was like "this is what I'm taking to Take Out night"

Mrs. Mike's is back!

That is a shame,  the place was really really good for breakfast and lunch.   

Sadly this is going to happen more and more and the only thing left will be chains

kind of sucks that the Locals have been taking hits

Firehouse subs will open next Tuesday, and a third location is set for Taylor

So today I found out that M&M food market has released a dipping sauce that has almost the EXACT same ingredients as Chick-fil-a sauce, don't believe me here's M&M's

Contains: Egg, Mustard.

 

and here's Chick Fil a's

Soybean Oil, Sugar, BBQ Sauce (Tomato Paste, Corn Syrup, Vinegar, Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor, Caramel Color, Spices, Garlic*, Onion*, Natural Flavor, Oleoresin Paprika), Water, Mustard (Distilled Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Turmeric, Paprika, Spice, Garlic*), Distilled Vinegar, Egg Yolk, Salt, Cider Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Mustard Flour, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavor, Garlic*, Calcium Disodium EDTA added to protect flavor, *Dehydrated
