That goal should have been called back 100%

#Caps forward Nathan Walker will become the first Australian to play in the NHL tomorrow

Living close to Hershey, I've gotten to see a lot of him over his career. He's not big but he doesn't back down from anyone. He's developed a decent offensive game over the years and become somewhat of a fan favorite around here. Should be an ideal energy guy/bottom sixer. Happy he's getting his shot!

So other coaches are idiots too? Not sure why just because one idiot does something else, everything is justifiable to you.

yes, they are all idiots.
all the NHL GM's too. If you read enough on this board that is.

I have never had a pizza with the sauce on top.
don't think any place around here does that

I still have zero idea what a donair actually is to this day despite watching Trailer Park Boys.

Lol...it's hamburger mixed with lots of different spices served on a pita bread with donair sauce,and diced onion and tomatoes.

I actually make my own donairs and have a great recipe. There is a special trick to get the donair meat to NOT have the texture of cooked hamburger though. That is very important. And once a "loaf" of the donair meat is cooked, it is cut in thin, shaved strips before putting it on the pita bread.

Oh yeah...I guess it's sort of like a gyro....but with a sweeter sauce and better tasting meat.

Ha ha...all the Pizza talk from my initial post about Little Caesers Arena and that Fake Pizza....

Just had left over pizza from Marras on Passyunk...good but too much cheese....not good for the IBS. The throne awaits its king in a few hours....

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I avoid the chain pizza places. they are pretty much all garbage. well at least here they are. they have 3 local mom and pop places that are solid.

Understandable. Donair is the name used only in Canada, and mostly in the Maritime provinces out east. For a dish consisting of shaved spiced meat carved from a vertical rotating spit, added to a pita along with onion, tomato, other veggies and nice spicy sauce. Or many other things.

Same as schwarma or gyros or just plain pitas sometimes.

Don't remember ever seeing the Trailer Park Boys eat a donair. But they definitely loved 'em.

 

[Tripod]

I should add, donair are so popular in this area that there is even a "Donair Crawl" now. Just like a pub crawl, you visit a bunch of different pizza places that make donairs and try out each shops donair. It has gone for 3 years now.

I have not gone, but know someone who did. Said it was great, but paid for it later that night and in the morning....lol.

Edit: also have donair egg rolls, donair pizza, etc... as well.

Why does Center Ice on Comcast not have HD options? It’s 2017 for Christ sakes.

Did Whitney tell you to say that?

That’s what I was figuring. It was similar to a gyro or something. It sounds good though.

That’s like here in Philly we have what we call hoagies. There’s different variations to it but it’s essentially deli meats/cheese on a long roll with mayo/oil & tomato/lettuce. If you ask for it as a hoagie outside of the like Mid-Atlantic states you’ll probably will have people look at you like “wtf are you asking for?”. But when you actually explain it they’ll get it. I believe most other places call it like heroes or whatever.

He said it today but I always wondered the same thing & since it’s free for the first week I’m watching it on my tv. But it is pissing me off it’s in SD.

Donair is delicious. I don't know if what I had out in BC counts as good or not, but it looked like that and it was specifically called Halifax donair everywhere.

Looks like a gyro...there is a palestinian place in Northeast Philly called Al-Sham...awesome ME cuisine ..

Hero or Grinder is the other common name for Hoagie.

Hmm..will have to check it out. NE is a gem for cuisine and variety. On Cottman before Frankford...the Thai Palace is good and Picanha Brazilian steakhouse is good too...

Yeah people use the Halifax name/recipes because that is where it 1st started.

A variation known as "donair" was introduced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in the early 1970s. Peter Gamoulakos migrated to Canada in 1959. When he failed in his attempt to sell traditional gyros, Gamoulakos adapted the dish to local tastes.

And if anyone likes to cook and wants to try to make it, here is the recipe I use. And make sure to throw the meat that 20 times it suggests....that's the magic.

The Vegas Golden Knights are underway

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Oh boy, I'm expecting to get even more hate for this... but **** it... I actually like the pizza chains better than proper pizza places most of the time.

Could just be that I live near ****ty pizza places, but I really do like Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Papa Johns.



Papa Johns, if you do read this, I'd be open to a sponsorship. I'd be willing to somehow work Papa John endorsements into every post I make on here.

If you're ever in Southern California and want some pizza I'll take you to one of my favorites.


Also, Hexastate, I don't know if you still go to Redlands anymore, but my buddy owns a pizza shop out there called Strong Man Pizza and last I checked it was the highest rated pizza shop in Redlands. You should try it.
