OT: Restaurant thread

[Master Scheif]

How has no one mentioned Bistro Dansk? Amazing food, super cozy.

Also I will second Olympia Diner.

 

[antiqueslivers]

WAitress at Bistro Dansk used to goose me up something fierce. Pizza land on portage by the moray bridge makes a decent pie for cheap. You guys remember Nibblers nosh?

 

[AlphaLackey]

At least I hope it’s veal
Meeooow

This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. It's auditory but I think you can hear the sounds in your head.

How do you make a dog sound like a cat?
Freeze-dry him and run him through a tablesaw (mmmmMMMRRRROOOOWWW)

Second only to:

How do you make a cat sound like a dog?
Douse him in gasoline then toss a match on him (............ WOOOOOOF!)

Anybody remember Chi Chi's at Polo Park in the 80's? It was a pre-Bomber game staple (and our RRCC college gang used to hang out there after class).

Or Fingers if you were feeling fancy, lol.

My old man used to take us to a place called Grubees. I vaguely remember liking it.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Restaurants, Motorcycles, Geeks, Fishing, Travel - all decent and interesting threads but all currently in the top dozen threads on hfjets.

Is that how uninspired this hockey season has become for us Jets fans?

And yes, the Grubee burger was delish. Like a Big Mac but with real ingredients.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Apparently there are still a few dozen of them in the U.S. and 100's is Asia. And Shakey's is huge in the Philippines! I was just there last fall and we had some. It was pretty good!

So that's the "best Italian restaurant" that @PhilJets runs.

I'm from Brandon, so I gotta give a shout out to Pizza Express, best pasta in the world. Plus Joe Beeverz poutine.

However in Winnipeg, what foods are we talking? No better pizza than Tony's, and that's a legitimate fact that one can't argue. Magic Sushi on Panet. Most food from The Old Spaghetti Factory! Baked Expectations. Nicks Inn. Depends on my mood for food!

I really like the Ichi Ban for sushi and Sake in Selkirk also has great sushi.

Nope

Nope

Your quote caught my post before the Grubees edit. Grubees was great. I used to ride my bike to Grubees on Pembina Hwy to grab a Grubee Burger. I think they shut down when I was like 14.

Hmmm, looks good and the cost of a meal at your restaurant is quite reasonable. Ignoring ancillary costs like airfare, accommodation, etc.

dammit. I went thru all 10 pages to make sure and somehow missed it...

Glad to see nobody did

Best nachos in the city (at least when I was a regular in the mid to late 90's) Carlos and Murphy's. I liked it cuz it was one of the few lounges open on a Sunday in those days and I lived walking distance.

I love Carlos and Murphy's. Amazing soups and one of my favorite wings in the city.

 

[MardyBum]

Mitzi’s
Simply phenomenal a restaurant can survive and thrive for so long selling pretty much only chicken fingers, fries and consommé soup.

Was scrolling through this thread looking for a Mitzi's reference. My mom used to work at an RBC office just down the street and would bring it home when I was younger occasionally.

Some absolutely incredible chicken fingers. Still drive downtown and suffer rush hour traffic occasionally because they're so damn good.

Matheos on Roblin was another gooder.
Then they opened a place in Sandy Hook afterward called Jane and Walters which is now gone too!

I remember Nibblers Nosh, I ate there once but have no real memory if the food was good or not

Now there's a topic.

I'll vote for,

Smitty's
Brazen Hall
Pony Corral

9 years as a season ticket holder and had wings for the 1st time in the Exchange Lounge. They were pretty damn good, will definitely order again.

A Little Pizza Heaven is really good. Im still partial to Gondola and Niakwa.

Just had 3 slices of "A Little Pizza Heaven" pizza

I had it for breakfast, yummy !!!!!!!!

Started to stop at this place on the way to Jets' games:

Seine River Cafe

Went to Chi Chi's before every Jets game.

I never understood why that restaurant shut down, it was packed every time I went there. We used to go to the one on Regent for the lunch buffet.
