We've been trying to keep in touch with our parents and family back home as best as we can, and because phone calls are so expensive, the blog has proved useful for letting people know what we are up to. However, when I spoke to my mum last week, she was pleased that she could keep track of us on the web, but disappointed that I apparently keep mentioning food all the time and she's concerned that people will think I'm just greedy. I reassured her that anyone reading the blog who knows me won't think I'm greedy and love food too much, they'll KNOW IT!! So I've decided to get it all out in the open and give a list of some of the places I (and we) have been fortunate to visit, and I must stress that I've never eaten more than three square meals in one day and sometimes only two.
In rough order of preference (or new experience excitedment factor):
The Famous Sam's Diner - home of the legendary 1/2 pound Home Burger and frequented by many famous Ice Hockey stars.
Dairy Queen - The best ice cream in the world, Large Mint Oreo Blizzard please?
The Mandarin & Big King Chinese Buffets - Jimmy Chungs only a LOT more to choose from, you need a map to navigate the buffet tables.
3 Coins Diner - An indepenent classic American Diner
A&W Root Beer - Excellent Burger joint with a speciality for root beer.
Tim Hortons - For my daily coffees, French Vanilla Cappucino or Ice Cap (Coffee slush puppy) are my favourites.
Pizza Pizza - A Canadian type of Dominos, except with a selection of pizza slices ready to go all the time.
Mr Sub - Subway, but cheaper and perhaps a bit tastier too.
Japanese Buffet - A waiter passes your table every five minutes and you order lots of small plates to share for an all-in price.
MacDonalds - Interestingly much better quality burgers than I've experienced in the UK
IKEA Restaurant - The same the world over, so meatballs all the way.
Taco Bell - A mexican version of BK or KFC type place.
Sorry Mum!! For now then it seems that Eating Out has become Eating's Out, I promise only to blog about extra special eating experiences from now on.
I can't believe you missed Swiss Chalet from that long list!!! That was our favourite! And if you haven't been, you must!!
ReplyDeleteOh Elaine! Well reminded, we were there the other Sunday for lunch. I can't believe I forgot to mention that in my list. Even Joe had a go at the dipping sauce, although it was with his fingers and it was too hot to handle. We also stopped off at a place called Lick's for a special Burger on the way to Blind River, that would've been on my list too.
