And yes, I'm aware of the history. Saw the tunnels. Heard the history. Doesn't change the fact that the food sucked. But good job on proving my point about tokenism. "Hey we had a few Chinese folks here a century ago. Ergo we have great Chinese food."
You want to tell me how many times you go out of your way to actually sample Moose Jaw's finest Chinese food yourself?

If you know all about the history of Chinese in Moose Jaw and went on the
Passage to Fortune Tunnels tour, or even the
Al Capone tunnel tour for that matter, you'd know it was more than 10 families and a goat that made up MJ's Chinatown. 110 years ago Moose Jaw was larger than Saskatoon at that time, and had only slightly smaller population than today.
If you ever go back to MJ ask the locals what Asian restaurants are the best and you'll get a better idea of favorite cuisine in the community instead of basing entire city's restaurants off of one meal.

That's what I was thinking too, But Hooter's in Saskatoon will probably do really well because of lots of young/high percentage male demographic in Saskatoon, particularly with post secondary colleges like Dumont Tech Institute & Sask Polytech and University of Sask etc.
Bar and club scene in Saskatoon has grown a lot in last few years and the city has highest number of restaurants per capita in Canada.
