I had One Great City's Enemy of the Steak burger yesterday.  Near perfect.  But that place just does everything right...so go there anytime.

Tonight doing this beauty, the Randy Savage from Underdogs.   Will report back!

Hope your experience is better, but my brother said Underdogs was underwhelming.

Had the Tallest Poppy and Prairie Ink burgers this week, and both were very good. Also just went to Oscar's for lunch. They didn't pay the $500 to be on the burger week list, but they posted a special burger for this week on their Facebook page, and it was outstanding!

I tried burgers at Jonsey's in East St Paul and Shawarma Khan and both were excellent for Le Burger week.   I would recommend both. 

Still not as good as Sal's though right?

I was underwhelmed with Underdogs as well. Usually love their food. Silver Heights had a real good burger with a bit of a kick.

Had the Big Dill at the Four Points By sheraton on south Pembina. I don’t like pickles. But I loved this burger. It was amazing. 

Great taste. They make everything in house. The chef is great.  And it was super busy with everyone eating the burger. 

This is it. Fantastic

Two places in Selkirk with excellent burgers & fries.  Roxy's and Barney Gargle's.

Roxy's is great!  The pulled pork jalapeno sandwich is really really good.

I go there because they can be relied upon to have blue licorice ice cream

oh yeah I've had their ice cream...actually I had one of their Comets (that's like a Blizzard or McFlurry) it's just a shame that they didn't bring the ice cream with them to Many Fest....but then again BDI is also there there would be no contest there (My mother still hasn't forgiven them for how they ripped her off over 20 years ago because she wanted to submit a gift certificate to my school's silent auction BBQ)

so it seems that Sals is moving back to the exchange

[Brandon]

Is their a demand for a Sals in that area?  

I will say that the White Star Diner which is near Portage Place seems to always be busy whenever I've gone so maybe it will work out?

White Star Diner was great on Albert but it's a bit of trek for the P&M crowd now that it's on Kennedy. 

There are lots of great food choices down there, so I'm not sure how it will do. 

I'm not down there anymore but I definitely would have gone for breakfast, red velvet cake or the occasional nip.

If its open 24 hours, I'd suspect it would do very well on late night weekends.  I know Johnny G's (both of them around there) are always busy (or at least always busy when I go).  And the lunchtime crowd should do well at Sals too.

man this isn't fair the more I see ads for Kelsey's the more I wish it would return to Winnipeg, but even if they did they'll put it in the same  place as every other new restaurant franchise that is testing waters here and that would be in the Kenaston area

[Brandon]

What do you miss of Kelseys?  I always found it to be very average in every way?  

[iHeart]

they used to have Deep Fried Mars bars on their dessert menu, and i don't know if I said this already now if I want one I'll have to go to Wild Wing, I haven't had their wings, I've had their Deep Fried Mars Bars and Oreos

I had Harvey's on Corydon... absolutely terrible crap food.   On par with McDonalds in quality of burger....

they still taste better than Jollibees

[iHeart]

well this is great news! KP hasn't had an Ice cream place (aside from having pink berry at Second Cup) since Laura Secord moved out, I wanted to see Rocky Mountain Chocolates move in instead (their chocolate dipped cheesecakes on sticks are awesome) but this is better

So I'm down here in OK and the guy who works at the gas station loves Jollibees and i told him if i knew he was still here i would have wrapped up some and dropped it into the luggage and he was like Oh man I'd love ya for doing that

Anyone need Canamerifriend to send ship up north?
