Theyre much better. Had the meatball sub from the Sterling Lyon location and its was awesome. Ill gladly pay an extra buck or two for something much better.

Dairy Queen will be unveiling it's Summer Blizzard Menu on monday (yeah I know April 1st is not the best day for it)

[iHeart]

Well Friskee Pearl is done it looks like it's going to be replaced by something called Boujee (French restaurant perhaps? I checked Door Dash and they have Brie and Duck on the menu geez it 32 bucks for Lobster Mac and Cheese?)

 

and BDI is going to try again with a second location, this time on the corner of Main and Jefferson (near the Redwood Bridge? well I know where those buildings are so I have a good idea where it could be)

They're both french.

Bougie in french is candle but in english, both spellings are used for the essentially the same slang (derived from the French word bourgeoisie).

Only a boomer would google search the origins of Boujee

Who had to do that?  Not hard to figure out if you know what bourgeoisie means.

I have to assume in the location that was most recently operating as Scoops. Scoops has never been the same since moving from the original location and 9 Below or what ever that place is called is just not the same either. Scoops used to be the best place in the city to get a traditional "malt" or "malted" but alas those days seem to be behind us. Have to settle for the ones from Sargent Sundae for the few months of the year that machine is dedicated to them and not other seasonal flavours. Not like I complain when it changes to Pumpkin Pie Soft Serve in the fall, possibly some of the best ice cream served in WPG that isn't Dug and Betty's. Yeah, yeah, I know what about Chaeban and Fete, I like what I like...

Well at least I can get there but I've never been that far into the North End on my own

West Kildonan or Seven Oaks neighbourhood. 
 

The White Top drive in. Where we grabbed supper last night is North End.

Hello, Canada.

After 15 years, the one and only Lunchables is back on shelves across the country. No, it’s not a joke. And yes, we brought snacks. To make up for lost time, we're offering 10,000 FREE Lunchables to Canadians. Only one per household while supplies last, so better hurry.

Already? That went fast. I got mine earlier and I'm sure @FrostyWinnipeg did too. But, it was posted on a popular deal-sharing site.

Well I did get to sign up, hope I get the one with the turkey

You are not missing out on anything.   We used to buy lunch mates and similar things for our daughter for lunches and then realized they taste awful, heavily processed,  and are over priced.   It's much better and cheaper to just buy real meat and cheese and DIY.

I guess their brief experiments with pastas weren't worth it either
