I can do without Chipotle - after you eaten at a dozen of them many times the novelty wears off - I cringe. On the other hand, In and Out never tires me out - maybe because there are few menu choices and decision what to order is immediate Cheap, good, consistent fries, burger and shakes. I wish there was one in Ice District.

I had In and Out in Vegas for the first time last November. The Cheese burger taste reminded me of the A&W Teen burger. Which happens to be my favorite burger anyway so it was a win win. lol.

Whataburger is Texas is quite good too.

In and Out is also good.

Basically, I'm not a burger snob. I'll try and eat burgers from pretty much anywhere.

In and Out limits their locations to a days drive from their processing planting in California if I am not mistaken as they don't freeze their burgers and that is the standard they have set.

EDIT: Apparently they have a "new" processing plant in Texas: https://www.eater.com/2011/3/14/6692445/...ribution-center-means-it-could-expand-to

Is Buco Pizza ever opening up in EPCOR? Feel like I've heard of them starting tenant fit-up over a year ago.

With all the new restaurants opening this year I have heard they are having a hard time staffing most. Even some of the more established ones are having issues. I talked with one that is in talks with people from outside the province. enticing them with a decent wage and affordable living.

At least that east door has been fixed - now an automatic sliding model.

but the restaurant is still disguised as plywood.

Multiple hurdles, but yes, it will be.

Tried Wishbone (old MRKT space) for lunch today. Parsnip Soup and Fried Chicken sandwich. Both done very well. Would like to come back for dinner. I would say a step up from MRKT. Hope they can attract an evening crowd.

Bundok tonight. Refreshingly unique, very tasty.

Apple, honey, oka tartine
sea bream crudo, cilantro, citrus, chilli, olive oil
broccoli, runny egg
roasted pork ribs, black vinegar glazed, toasted amaranth
lamb schnitzel, fennel, cucumber, sumac, yogurt

Dessert was a hazelnut chocolate cake with dulche de leche and a creamy, fresh, light name that escapes me.

Metals Building/102ave-104st - look for a Japanese Izakaya type of place.

Enbridge Centre - Sounds like all 3 bays are now leased to food/coffee.

PM Building on RHW spot beside Sherlocks looks to have secured a new restaurant tenant.

All very positive and we are still hearing of 2-3 more larger restauranteurs looking Downtown.
