This is the menu, even if you dine in

Okay so I just went to this new restaurant at King St. and Portland in Toronto. Wow Chicken it’s called. It’s right in between our favorite restaurants here (Craft Burger (awesome), and the sandwich place I don’t know the name of). I have to say the restaurant fell very short of my expectations for a $18 rotisserie combo meal. Here is what I have to say about Wow Rotisserie Chicken:

Wow, if you have chalk boards inside, write something on them. Draw a happy face, whatever.

Wow, the person working the cash should know the menu and how to enter it.

Wow, 10 Billion little bugs inside, okay that’s not the restaurants fault maybe they are everywhere, but hey, while I’m at it.

Wow, it shouldn’t take 30 minutes to get me my food for takeout. As someone with me said “It’s rotisserie, it shouldn’t be made to order.”

Wow, get my order right:

- I ordered a Chicken Breast Deluxe Combo, got a chiken leg,
- I ordered an extra sauce, got only one.
- Menu says Deluxe Combo is Mousse Desert with berries, got the brownie from the other combo

Wow, the stuffed potato, it tasted okay even if it was just potato sour cream and pepper inside.

Wow, the chicken melt someone else ordered, that cheese, maybe next time MELT it.

Wow, can’t say it was even close to tasty.

Wow, can’t say I’ll be going back ever.

Wow, you are nuts if you waste your money there.

Rain and Snow – Toronto to Calgary

I took the picture on the left this morning when I got to work in Toronto (yes working on a Sunday again). And my dad took the picture on the right this morning in Calgary. The rain here was actually quite nice, it was about 15°c, wish I could have gone for a walk by the lake in Burlington (rain coats of course) with the family. Maybe next weekend.

Transit in GTA

It has amazed me every day since we moved to Burlinton in November how many people in the GTA take transit. I take the GO every day, it’s full both ways buy usually you can find a seat though. I can GO (pun intended) 50kms to Toronto for about $7, then if I chose to I could take a street car for $2.75. Um parking is at least $10 anywhere I’ve seen here, and my car still has less than 10,000kms on it. Awesome.

People here complain about transit, I can’t believe it!! If they spent a week trying to get around Calgary on transit they would change their tune. Over crowded, over priced (it’s more than the TTC and The New York subway), impossible to get anywhere fast… Have to say Calgary could use some transit lessons here and people in Toronto could use some time there to appreciate how good we have it!

Moving – YYC to YYZ

The Froosh family has decided to make a change! Mr. Froosh got himself a promotion at work, and that promotion is a job in Toronto. I grew up there, Mrs. Froosh grew up in Calgary. Lots of people call Toronto “the big smoke” etc etc. others say “oh it’s got worse since you lived here”. I don’t know it seems to me when I compare how much Calgary has changed vs. how much Toronto has changed, there is no Contest Calgary doesn’t have that small town feel it did 15 years ago. Toronto still feels like a big city like it always did.

We will have to see what it’s like when I get back!
