Chicken on the Way/Calgary Swingers
My friend was over earlier today and she was saying she "heard" from a "reliable source" (ie - her friend's friend's brother who has "first-hand knowledge") that there is a secret swingers club in the basement of the Chicken on the Way building over on 10th and Kensington. I pointed out that as far as I can tell, there IS no basement at that place, and if there was, I can't imagine a less appropriate setting for getting it on, but hey, what do I know?
Personally, I think her "source" is, as we say in the business, "sucking on the crack pipe right down to the last fumes", but I have to ask - has anyone else heard this rumour? Or should I just go there and ask if it's true?

WHO CARES ABOUT SWINGING...when you've got Crisp Golden Brown Fried Chicken...
The corn fritters don't taste as good anymore, not after they switched to the trans-fat free stuff supposedly. It's nolonger on the edge of burned to a crisp...it's too mushy and not fried totally now.

Doing the nasty with multiple and various random partners with uncertain hygienic standards in the unquestionably filthy underbelly of a cut-rate fried chicken joint is arguably the only thing more disgusting than the food from said cut-rate fried chicken joint.

The only rumor I know about that place is that the family that runs the place owns their supply chain -- both a chicken farm and a potato farm.
Fun Chicken On The Way facts:
Anyone remember the stereotyped "mush-mouf" cartoon black guy logo (updated in the early 70s to include flared pants) outdoor signage until political correctness killed it?
Way back when, I guess they delivered too.
Also, for those of a certain vintage, the early 80s local punk group "The Golden Calgarians" featured a song entitled "Chicken On The Way."
I dunno about the swingin' thang. Maybe the gigantic rocket next door at Tel-Star Drugs fed the phallocentric myth.
That was always Calgary's retro-kitsch street corner, until Tel-Star went out of business.
Oh, and the Glenbow Museum apparently has that big Tel-Star Drugs rocket ship sign in storage.

There's no basement at the Alamo!
(Sorry, I have no offering as far as a solution to the question posed in this thread, nor have I - a lifelong Calgarian - been to Chicken on the Way at any point during at least the last decade, so I can't speculate as to the continued quality of their product/decline thereof.)

there are swingers clubs in both calgary and edmonton, just do a google search. The reason I know this is that one of my exes was into this kind of stuff, and after we had been dating for a bit she asked me if I would go with her to one of them. (to which I said no of course, since I don't share my womens..... I should have gone I guess, since we broke up over this anyway, at least I might have had some fun)
Anyway, as far as it being in a basement, there may be one there (doubtful), but the one she wanted to go to, and had a website for, was as far as I can remember in a nondescript looking warehouse somewhere, but inside it was like a fancy hotel.
Oh, and before you get your hopes up, they don't allow single guys in. They will allow single girls and couples only.

Ha. I have heard the same thing. But I guess the basement is in the Vietnamese sub place next door. It used to be called Ng's. I'm not sure if that's still the name of the place.
I will take Chicken On The Way over Peter's any day.

The coolest thing about COTW is the potato peeling thingy that got...actually the operation in its entirety is pretty cool. I'm amazed and how many nights the owner is in there slaving away though...tough life but he must enjoy it.

I'm more amazed he hasn't had to have multiple bypass operations.

BTW you can buy one of those Red COTW shirts that they wear for $10. That's great value. Less than a Hungry Man combo.

Seriously though, I've walked in the front door of that place and I felt like I needed a shower. Could you imagine the basement?
Thats probably where they keep the goddamn chickens in the first place.
It must be hard to get into mood amidst all that incessant squawking and the prevailing atmosphere of certain doom.

No idea bout swingers but they do have a basement down there...and it's actually pretty huge. I was down there tryng to read a gas meter many years ago. Don't remember too much except for a chute that must have been used for produce/supplies/naked bods, and a generally creepy medieval dungeon type feel.

See, that's what I was thinking - could there be a more unlikely place? On the other hand, though, if you were intent on keeping it a secret, it would work really well. On the other other hand, since it isn't illegal, why keep it a secret?

Hmm, so maybe it's an urban legend and not just crazy talk (if there is a difference, that is).

Maybe they grease you up with chicken fat and throw you down the chute? I can see how that'd be a big draw...
