^bingo. We like certain appys, mains are just ok, but it is convenient for those times you just want takeout or a quick bite.

The Chicken Pad Thai at Syphay (94th and Jasper) is quite good, though I can't speak on any of their other menu items.

Steak salad at The Common delicious, just ask for easy on the blue cheese and some fresh ground.

Yup, spoke to the chef and asked for half the blue cheese/cream and it was incredible.

In the fast food department, hearing a certain southern Spicy Chicken chain is expected to arrive this year and next, Downtown and Griesbach locations among other more typical spots

Speaking of chicken, I stopped by Seoul Fried Chicken on my way out of town yesterday for lunch. Got the 5 piece of soy garlic chicken with a corn fritter and kimchi. Pretty good. I'll be back again to sample more flavors and other items.

EDIT: Here is a blog review. Need to sample some of the other flavors apparently: http://www.letsomnom.com/2016/02/08/...d-chicken-sfc/

Meat for brunch.

Brisket yam hash
Breakfast sandwich with Edam pork belly
Fried chicken with cornmeal flapjacks
Brisket bennies with garlic fries

Bourbon Caesars

Everything very tasty

No resos, none were needed, busy but not full.

Edmonton named one of the best pizza cities in the world at #8
http://www.cntraveler.com/galleries/...ld-top-cities/

Edmonton write-up

Quote:
In an era when artisanal and hipster pizzerias are all the rage, the old-school joints still rule up north in Edmonton. You know it from the names —Tony’s Pizza Palace, Packrat Louie, Rose Bowl (pictured)—and of course, the toppings, like meatballs, shrimp, pineapple, and BBQ chicken. In a pinch? The variety of pies at Famosa, a Canadian chain, is not so much soup-to-nuts as white-sauce-to-peanuts (and surprisingly tasty).

Former employee came to us from Chicago and prior to that NYC - pronounced Tony's the best NYC style pizza she'd ever eaten (outside NYC of course!).

Bit of a hike, but well worth the effort.

I'm partial to Rose Bowl. "Edmonton Style Pizza" as they claim. It's a pan pizza. Not quite deep dish, but close. And delicious.

My favorite topping from Tony's is drywall screws.


I've been saying it for years, 104 street needs a pizza joint....something like B street on 111 ave.
