Canadian Brewhouse's wing wednesday is an underrated deal. Not quite a "special", but I would also flag that you can follow Tremendous Trivia to see where you can go for trivia every night.

Seoul Fried Chicken on 104 weekdays 1-4 PM happy hour menu is unbeatable value
$10.50 gets me two massive pieces of bone in fried chicken, a box of fries, and a banana corn fritter. I am a fairly large man with a substantial appetite and nothing fills me up more for the money.

2nd best. The best is cleverly designed as a pizza joint that went bankrupt.

Read their AHS inspection reports and you'll think differently.

I stopped by the old Oliver Exchange while biking home from the Downtown Farmers' Market, and noticed a subtle change. Haven't tried this place yet, but they appear to have a rooftop patio. Also, there is a cheese shop going through fit out on the back corner of the Annex, just to the left of the field of view of my second picture.

'After 43 years, Continental Treat Fine Bistro is closing its Old Strathcona location'
Wow! I thought that was a staple, but maybe they need to focus on one.
Good to hear the other is going to keep going.

How is the downtown version of Continental Treat faring? Is it matching or exceeding the late lamented Hardware Grill?

^ From all outward appearances it appears to be successful with quite a few generally popular reviews

Inside the restaurant industry it is difficult to operate one successful eatery; it is even more difficult to operate two or three; it gets easier again when tending to four or more.

Guru closing is a loss, their butter chicken samosas were incredible. Hopefully Dosti is also good.Dosti has taken over the west-end Guru space

Probably even harder when you have been used to having just one location for many years.
An interesting sort of vote of confidence in downtown and the area in that they must have felt this was the one with better future potential.
Also I suppose Whyte Ave's restaurant scene is very competitive, whereas not much else nice nearby downtown and the location is close to very the convention centre.
