I don't really understand why people have the desire to frequent a place like Earls or Moxies when there are so many great non-chain restaurants in town to pick from now. This isn't the 80/90s anymore where a night out means choosing to either go to the Keg or Smugglers Inn. I'd get it if the prices were cheaper...but you're usually just getting pre-made food at premium prices, usually served by people who just don't give a crap.
Calgary has a fantastic food scene these days, and you dont have to be some hipster foodie to see the advantage. Go to one of the many great non-chain restaurants, and more often than not you're supporting a local owner, who often use locally-sourced farmers, made fresh and usually of a much higher quality, and a comparable price (still expensive, but hey thats Calgary). And you might even get some decent service instead of the vapid idiots who work at Earls.
