Apparently Olive Garden has stepped up their game recently. I’ve been told I need to try it again.

Tuesday was my first time there but that potato sausage soup was really good. Plus they serve taste tests of complimentary wine.
Mom said I should not talk to cretins!
Well Sagar is done.
Top_Dawg thought he would pop in for a bite after getting snapped up at Sherbrooke Pub on Saturday.
Nope.
Nada.
No can dooski.
Sealed up tighter than a nun's poonani.
Big ol' notice on the door saying they owe 26 large in back rent.
Won't be seeing them no more.
Not like it was "fine dinning" but Burger King on 137th Ave Clareview is closed. As of February. Its been there in that location since the mall opened.

stopped in at the red ox inn. Food was good but the service was ridiculous. Waitress laughed at us when we asked why the menu was different then their website.
Drinks took forever to come out. At one point she brought the wrong drink. When this was pointed out to her when she came back to the table she decided to bring it to a different table.
She didn't know if anyone drank some of it or did anything to it... but hey let's give it to the other table.
That's too bad for it is one of my favourite and service was always attentive and professional.

Baekjeong opened up in the south. Had a chance to try it yesterday and it was packed to the gills, so make sure to make reservations. Delicious but be prepared to smell like meat afterwards.

^this isn’t instagram. If you’re going to post a picture, make it relevant... like, where does this wonderful looking meal come from?
Whoops, my bad... the text didn't seem to copy over.
This was Pip.

I'm on board if that's red cabbage but it looks like shredded beats.
I was out at the Nodoru Ramin bar Sunday afternoon. Not ad. It was pretty busy.

Hit De Dutch sunday for brunch . Had the Amsterdam bene with the rusks and fruit bowl. Jav and OJ. Mmmmm yummy.
^ We'll have to check that out, it looked pretty busy last time I booked a 10-6 Saturday shift. Good ratings too, thanks.
^^ I went by there Thursday noticing the sign on the North West side of the building facing 101st, but I spent my wad at Long & McQuade.

Black Pearl Friday for baked oysters and a Manhattan ..... bit expensive, but good for occasional special occasions.
Great to see Bottega with a sidewalk patio - always loved their food, just couldn't have a half-way decent conversation inside though.

A huge Rave to:

The condom.
So that's where all the sows moved since The Gas Pump shut down.
Eclectic mix Top_Dawg has to say.
Condom always has this man-man love vibe.
Top_Dawg went there a few days ago to smash back a coupla brews.
Every year-and-a-half he goes there.
And it reminds him why he never goes there.
Just bad on so many levels.
Why not - 109st

Great place, went for coffee with a friend this morning. Owners are very nice people and the decor in the cafe is beautiful. I would highly recommend stopping by for coffee or lunch. 5 out of 5 stars!
Gui Lin Noodle House on 97st/106ave. Simple, delicious.
Brisket tomato noodles
Minced pork
Looks like a Klingon dish

Speaking of dishes, has anyone tried "Skip the dishes?" Are they any good?

^don't continue to be such an incredible prick.
"Are they any good?" You do know they are NOT a restaurant right? They deliver food from actual restaurants. Are you asking if the "service is any good? If so, try it out for yourself.....my point of view,if you're too lazy to grab a single cheeseburger from McDicks then you shouldn't be eating
Took the fam to The Marc tonight for some terrace.
@ianoyeg
I ask because people have been saying negative things about their competition. I know what "Skip the dishes" is. This thread is titled "Must try" isn't it? And that's why I asked."Are they any good?" You do know they are NOT a restaurant right? They deliver food from actual restaurants. Are you asking if the "service is any good? If so, try it out for yourself.....my point of view,if you're too lazy to grab a single cheeseburger from McDicks then you shouldn't be eating
Mom said I should not talk to cretins!
So if someone wants to order delivery, from a place that delivers a range of choices, they shouldn’t and should go to McDonald’s or the like instead because then you wouldn’t consider them lazy and the effort would be worthy of “nurishment?” Wtf is wrong with you? I can think of a zillion reasons why someone would order from skip the dishes or similar services. Don’t be a tool."Are they any good?" You do know they are NOT a restaurant right? They deliver food from actual restaurants. Are you asking if the "service is any good? If so, try it out for yourself.....my point of view,if you're too lazy to grab a single cheeseburger from McDicks then you shouldn't be eating
Personally I find the service delivery fees and tip on top of it to be expensive. If a restaurant already pays a significant % of the order total to the delivery service, why am I paying 25-30% for delivery and tip on top of that? I mean, I get it... but I would rather call the restaurant, order and pickup or go out to the restaurant and dine in.
Where's my like button?

Who the **** would order a single McDicks cheeseburger for a buck and pay all of the mark up? Does this make sense? Didn't think it did....now calm the **** down asswipe
Also tried it, amazing. Had the beef carpaccio. Stellar. Expensive but worth the experience once in a while.I also tried this dish recently and have nothing be great things to say about this restaurant. Really really delicious food.UCCELLINO

Made it tonight.
CareIT + Cuban = mmm
Looks yummy. Hit the Grandin Fish and Chips tonight. Fish is incredible (the haddock). Fries (chips) pretty average. Calamari and drinks. Great tartar sauce. $50 for the 3 of us. Cheap
Parmigiano Soup with bacon and leeks at Bundock ... $9 steal! Boulevardier cocktail - best I've ever tasted, anywhere.
Baked oysters (with parmigiano cream) at Black Pearl or, Honey nut Lobster, Prawns and Scallops at $23. Start with a wood steamed old fashioned.
... gobsmacked
Boulevardier ?
Ooh-la-la !
Yeah, toffee name .. and nowhere the same ingredients, but 100% alcohol (which I suspect you'd like), but almost like a Manhattan - only even better.
... gobsmacked
Sorry...what's the name of the place? CareIT? I'm a fiend for Cuban sandwiches - have to check it out...hard to beat little Havana though.....CareIT + Cuban = mmm
If you want to see some local restaraunts and businesses team up and attack someone who wrote a bad review you can check it out here.

I guess you can't write a bad review. For whatever reasons the owners and many businesses decided they needed to attack this foodie for their review.
Seems some of the businesses have started to delete their comments while others are threatening to blacklist that food reviewer from becoming an influencer.
^^CareIT on 104st Fox II
The perpetrators of this apparent harassment seem to have bought into the narrative that their operation of a private, for-profit business is actually in the interests of the public good and that therefore they are deserving of our charity. This is an attitude that unfortunately permeates from the top down in this city.
Here are some of the lovely things that were said:
(Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BlOPPAMH...=1emt6ij8u2n3f)Jordan Watson - co-owner, Cartago: "“down hill” “worst” those are bold words. If you respected them so much why didn’t you say your piece with one of the owners instead of slandering a fantastic place that has made Edmonton such a cooler spot then our typical. You decided to post this on a Saturday after so much contemplation. Not exactly a Edmonton team player are you?"
gogrego - The Common DJ: "Uneducated uninformed garbage review full of lies. You slander people who have helped build this community and city. What have you done for this city? What have you contributed? Your’e not a food critic. Never forget that. You’re a little goblin who hides behind a computer pays for instagram, followers and writes ********."
sukaclothing: "also if you are a female you should support the fact that one of the owners is a badass chick who is killing it and inspiring others to also do so .... #support local and do your research"
^I like the Common but man what a bad idea it was to pile on to a uncharitable instagram review.
“Son, one day this will be an iconic structure shaping Edmonton’s skyline.”
And then you have one of the owners from Bamboo Ballroom and Cartago rushing in to help her friends...after Katy (Cartago) found out the instagrammer worked at the Stollery, she told her to "stick with sick kids"...as oppose to reviewing food i guess?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/co...experience_at/
Other nuggets:
Kyla Kazeil - Co-Owns The Common and Bamboo Ballroom
"Where’s your job? I’d like to come there and give my non professional opinion."
(on the reviewer working for the Stollery)
Katy Ingraham -* co-owner, Cartago, in Forest Heights*
"Stick to sick kids."
Jordan Watson - co-owner, Cartago, in Forest Heights

To top if off, a "social media strategist" posted this on that instragram review:
I don't know why he would post if he had nothing nice to say. I read through his other reviews on IG and all of them were positive or if he had something negative to say, it was minimal and balanced with positive comments... Regardless, I will add him to the blacklist when it comes to "influencers" to work with my clients and tell other industry folks to do the same. Love the Common, the staff and all the connected businesses! Sad he decided to burn bridges instead of contacting the Common directly about his experience.
I'm not a social media strategist, but that's not how to social media....
Makes our city look like its run by a bunch of tight-knit insecure, crybabies who think they are "elevating" Edmonton.

Edmotnon local business is very cliquey. But this was a whole new level of absurdity. I was just about to lost this in this very thread, but I'm glad it was picked up and posted. I've been and friends have been shooting this around social media and Jesus we have a new opinion of them.
In private, I heard and interacted with them as private citizens and what can be said is said... but using Instagram, your "brand" medium, to say stuff like this... ouch.
Live and love... your neighbourhood.
What?
