Wow.
My husband and I have a list of places we’d like to try in Winnipeg. Restaurant Dubrovnik, 529 Wellington and Hy’s are all on the list. One of the restaurants that we’ve been noodling over for a while is The Velvet Glove. They boast a CAA Four Diamond Award, and frequently appear on “must-eat” lists [...]
I’ve been to a lot of restaurants, but there are very few which make me sit back and go “wow.” It takes a unique combination of environment, service and food to knock my socks off, but when it happens I can’t help but think, “We are so coming back here again.”
We first visited Sydney’s at [...]
We had dinner at the Sushi Train last night. While we were eating, I was thinking about an article I read recently. The Chicago Sun Times did DNA testing on red snapper at 14 different restaurants around Chicago. None of them - not one - was really red snapper. Most of them were tilapia, while [...]
We have a Red Lobster just up the street from us, and we’ll go there about one a month or so with friends. The food is ok - not fantastic, and it’s your basic chain-fare - but we just love the biscuits you get before your food arrives. We call them crack-buns. Apparently they’re really [...]
Part of growing up and learning new things is learning how to follow directions. If you don’t follow directions, you get marks off and bad things can happen. Gradually, you start learning the occasions in which it’s ok to not follow directions; hopefully this is undertaken with the understanding that you’ll have to accept the [...]
One of the places which has been on our “list of places to eat” here in Winnipeg is Restuarant Dubrovnik. We’ve heard nothing but good things about this place, which has been favorably reviewed in several places.
There has been some property speculation along Assiniboine Avenue which leads me to think that we should make our [...]
There are three Sushi Trains in Winnipeg; this review is for the Sushi Train at the Forks. All three restaurants are similar, with their individual quirks. (For example, the service at the Pembina Sushi Train has historically been a bit frazzled and disorganized, but as we haven’t been there for a long time I can’t [...]
The sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. I wasn’t too keen on getting an iron barbell for an anniversary present, so we just did what we always do on our anniversary - go to a “new to us” restaurant.
My husband had been wanting to try the Fusion Grill for a while, and since it was [...]
These things really come in waves, don’t they?
Burger King announced that it will begin buy eggs and pork from suppliers who did not confine their animals in battery cages or sow stalls, and would favour slaughter facilities which used gas rather than electric shock to stun chickens prior to slaughter.
Now, while their goal (2% of [...]
So, the Brannigans up our way disappeared.
We’re not sure when it went away, but it was in the last couple of weeks. One time we drive by, it’s a Brannigans. The next time we drive by, it’s a Longhorn Texas Steakhouse. My husband, a friend and I decided to pop by there for dinner. I’ve [...]
