Nope! Just wanted to share with you guys the video I made of the new Sabor venture. Figured maybe some of you would want to take a look.

Looks fantastic, @Filip.Nowak - can't wait to try it out! Not to put a damper on things, but I can't help but wonder what will happen with the Revillon building once the Valley Line LRT is finally under construction on 102 Ave.

Way too small for a keg. They should be in the ice district in the stantec podium.
The rumour mill I picked up awhile ago but went cold is it’s a known name, but I couldn’t get whether that meant a chain or just someone known in the community. Can’t fathom it being sabor with them doing the union bank thing. In fact I’m getting a bit worried about them over extending, them collapsing would be a huge loss.
Anyways it’s a great space and hopefully it’s something that can thrive there.

Yeah, I think the next few years will tell us if they can manage such a rapid expansion without compromising on quality.

Seoul Fried Chicken for some tenders, jalapeño corn bread and caesar.
Opted OG with BBQ sauce.
Tasty for sure, but I wanted a bit more salt/pepper in the batter/brine to really make it shine.

Dined at 3 breakfast eateries on 3 different weekends.
3 weekends ago, I was at Brunch Glory on Jasper Ave and 117 St. There were barely any patrons, but that's likely due to the Jasper Ave construction. My florentine benny was good, although nothing write home about. The server was nice. I'll return sometime after construction is finished - but before I do, I want them to fix their website.
2 weekends ago, I made my way to Haps Hungry House on Stony Plain Road and 161 St. It's a 40-year-old local diner with delicious food, good hot coffee, friendly staff and a bill that won't break the bank.
This past weekend, I had breakfast at Albert's on 124 St and 106 Ave. What can I say - it's a local icon, a classic old-school diner since 1959! Still the same great food, coffee and staff as before that will keep me coming back.

^ Haps stan here. It's a jewel in a sea of shit on SPR. Also a fan of that 124th Alberts. Place is like stepping into a time machine.

Normand's is currently blocked off by the Jasper Ave revamp. However, one of the construction workers told me that one can access it in the alley.

Openings
- Mazesoba chain Kokoro Mazesoba opened its first Edmonton location at 11145 84 Avenue NW.
- The folks behind Iconoclast, who just launched a restaurant called Lovesong, are soon opening a cheese retail shop in the OEX 2 called Tiny’s Cheese Shop at 103, 12017 102 Avenue NW.
- It looks like Cook Country Saloon will be offering a “whole new Cook County experience” with Cook County Steakhouse, opening on September 20.
- Beer Revolution in Unity Square closed on September 7. The message cryptically mentions, “While we say goodbye to Beer Revolution we aren’t leaving the building. Stay tuned for what we have planned.”

What a strange thing to say? Beer Revolution are saying goodbye to themselves?
“While we say goodbye to Beer Revolution we aren’t leaving the building. Stay tuned for what we have planned.”

Beer Rev owned by Brewsters, but the head brand is now taking over.
Goodbye but hello!

Ahhhhhh now I see! Ian has made it clear! Beer Revolution and Brewster are somehow the same outfit! Brewster must own the building and are saying goodbye to Revolution. Too bad a YEG brewer can’t take over the space…..now we’re still stuck with subpar YYC beer…..hopefully YEG’ers continue to boycott Brewsters and their terrible concept and product

The problem with ALL Brewers time and time again…..as far back as “Taps,” the old space on YYC Tr - the current IHOP space….99% focus on the beer and 1% on the food. Brewsters is just so terrible at boring beer and a boring PUB based food product with Zero thought process put into the food. Shiddy’s Rumpus Room concept is onto something and I can see that brand growing exponentially one day.

Taps was awesome for the time, but yes, if you didn't love mozza sticks you were in trouble.
