Oh ok a Peter's milkshake is "only" 640 calories.

A wise man once told me, "Don't drink your calories".

I swear it tastes different now. I just have a little glass of homo milk for a treat.

Ya ya, I see where you are going, not an actual homo's milk.

Some Cinnabons are around 1100 calories.

I thought only mythical creatures could consume a large Blizzard. What is that like 1.5 litres of ice cream?

Nah, there's years of shrinkflation you've missed in that memory.

I had no idea that Dave's Hot Chicken was in Calgary until I stumbled across their Beacon Hill location today. It's too expensive to make it a regular thing, but it was pretty tasty. I'm not afraid of spice so I was going to try their hottest Reaper option, but I was too lazy to sign their waiver to opted for one step down Very Hot. That appears to be the perfect balance for those with good spice tolerance, it was hot but not overpowering the flavor of the chicken. I'll probably give the Reaper version a try for curiosity sake next time, but I can't imagine the flavor will be anything great since Reapers themselves are #### chilis aside from the heat

I think there’s a second one opening on Macleod where the Earls used to be

Not going to lie, they lasted 8 years longer than i thought they would going into that cursed location. Red Robbins, NY piano bar, and now PZA. I am probably missing a couple.

Ceilis, Mr Mikes for a few months or so, and I think another pub either before or after the piano bar.

It was a Buffalo Wild Wings at one point wasn't it?
