If you insist. A list of some of the finest food the city has to offer, not all of it is bougie, it's just good. A couple of disclaimers: This isn't even close to exhaustive, there's a ton of food in this city and a lot of it I have not tried. Obviously food is subjective, just because I like it, doesn't mean you will and vice versa. This list only contains things I have found "above average to god tier" Not all found in the last year, but Kevin (and often Bruce) McCurdy approved. <Vietnamese> Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House, my king of Vietnamese and fusion cooking. (101 St and 107 Ave) Mini Mango (South of Ellerslie at 91st) Mai Mai Viet Street Kitchen (23rd ave and 142nd St) Saigon Taste (Stony Plain and 114 st ish) Co Do Hue (several locations) Da Kao Bistro (170 St and 95 Ave) Dang Good (118 Ave and just west of St. Albert Trail) Pho Hoan Pastuer is always an ok fallback. Halong bay makes this list because their Pho Sate is almost as good as Thanh Thanh's. I could make my own catagory for Bahn Mi, but Thi Thi's in Calgary is king. Mini Mango has lethal Bahn Mi as well. I have a massive soft spot for Viet food and I often have trouble branching out to other ethnicities that I should pay more attention to (Thai for example) as a result. <Thai> (not as much experience here many places to go check out) Siam Thai (several locations, though I hit is at 137th ave and St. Albert Tr.). Their Tom Yum is fabulous. Songkran Thai (St. Albert Tr and Sturgeon Rd, St. Albert) <Chinese> Good luck (as in good luck finding good chinese, there's a ton of "mid" in this catagory.) One that comes to mind is Lingnan, though I haven't been in years. <Ramen> Kazoku (165 st and 105 Ave) Menya Mori (124 st and 102 Ave) Tokiwa (Stony Plain Rd and 118 st or so, Brewery District) <Pizza> Pizza Garage (St. Albert, expensive but worth) <Burgers> Jack's Burger Shack (2 locations, though I've only been to the St. Albert location) JOEY actually makes a mean cheese burger CRAFT Beer Market Shiddy's (99th and just off whyte) Rockin Robyn's (166St. and 109 Ave) This could go in about 5 catagories, but the Betty White is a ludicrously good burger. <Fried Chicken> Seoul Fried Chicken (Multiple locations, OG Whyte and 104 St) HM to Northern Chicken (RIP) <Donairs> Swiss Donair (the "Xerxes, God King" of Donairs) Donair Station (172nd st and 95th ave) Simon King (91st St and 51st Ave) Simply Donair (both locations) DK Donair Factory and Restaurant (these are NOT Halifax donair, this is German Doner Kebab) (St. Albert) <Shawarma> Jerusalem (if you want an actual wrap, their Fattoush is .... not good) Al Salam Pita Bakery (their Fattoush is incredible, and they have better platters IMO) <Sit down pub/bar/etc> Local (their Dragon Chicken is lit AF). Leopold's Tavern (Whyte and Gateway) Campio Brewing (109 St, South of Stony Plain Rd.) <Italian> Amore Bistro (108 st and 106 Ave) San Remo Italian Bistro (St. Albert) Nello's (St. Albert) <Sandwiches> Pals (Whyte Ave) D'Amore Italian Deli (127th St, and about 129th Ave) Mercato Donnas (if oversized sandwiches are your vibe) (Boonies, Winterburn) <Breakfast> Hap's (Stony Plain Rd and about 163rd st.) Hathaway's Diner (2 locations) Socrates (St. Albert) <Greek> Koutouki Taverna Little Village <Other> Taste of Ukraine I am sure there's a million places I'm missing, forgot about, haven't been to, etc.

One of these days a ref will call Stolarz for being a vicious bastard all the time. One day.

A day in the life.....

Good grief. I sure hope New Jersey knows what they're doing.

One of these days you guys are going to stop falling for this garbage. Maybe.

Not really. It's pure ragebait for both sides of the argument and you know it. Believe me, enough people have done Bouchard reputational harm around here.

That's gotta be close to the fastest PP goal I've ever seen.

Congratulations EA and Private Equity, you killed one of the single greatest studios of all time. Some of the greatest games of my lifetime came out of this studio. I hope it was worth it. Absolutely devastating news.

#neverindoubt Evan Bouchard, Baby!

I can't overstate how much this league needs a no-backtrack rule in 3v3. Holy shit that was a horrific stretch to watch.

Holy headsnap, batman.

I have a good idea how this is being accomplished, it's a crazy find for the analytics community and amazing work by JFresh and @TopDownHockey

The orange and black is so sick, and I love the matte lids.

Do not mistake the lack of public information as an opportunity to fill the void with something that can only be called baseless speculation at this point, at best. Dangerous speculation, at that. Just because the information isn't public yet, doesn't mean it isn't being collected. This is a significant mass casualty event, the focus should be and is on supporting the region with every resource we have. We'll find out what happened when those facts are collected. I have friends in the region and describing the situation as chaotic is putting it mildly, focus on what matters.

The last line is a dead-ass giveaway. If you folks see prose structured like that it's 100% AI. This platform is absolutely filled with this crap right now.

Ash is doing great work and this is wroth the read. Shoutout to @Woodguy55 and the rest of the PuckIQ crew for an amazing resource.
