Hey everybody. I can't say too much, but it is highly likely that the ownership of Famous will be changing in the very near future. It may be that the Famous won't be infamous anymore...

I thought you don't eat at asian restaurants for fear of being shot?

Wow. The power of CP certainly is impressive.

Someone actually would want to buy that place after the great job that women did of creating a horrible rep? I hope they change the name.

I second that. Never pay with credit card if you have disputed the bill or tip in anyway. I made that mistake twice, once at the All-Star Cafe in NYC. That place was terrible! Anyway within a few weeks both times fraudulent charges appeared on my card.

man, i grew up in Canmore and was there when that place opened. WORST place ever. A buddy of mine worked there for a WEEK. Said everything they cooked was either frozen or from a can, nothing was fresh. He couldn't believe the conditions there and the owners were as cheap as they come.

of course this is back in the 80's but sound's like nothing has changed.

One question though. Canmore has an incredible selection restaurants. In fact, there's a saying, "can you recommend a good restaurant in Banff? Go to Canmore."
Why oh why do you pick a chinese restaurant?

lol "cooooooold blooooded"... She may provide poor service but it's off set but her caring ways. You can't put a price on someone preventing diabetes and other things obesity causes. I'm going to make reservations right now.

Update: Sounds like the owner of "Famous Kitchen" has retired, but appears to have been hit by a "midnight move".

I read that story in the paper this morning. I was thinking, who would steal the toilets and sinks? Now in the context of this thread it all makes sense.

when I read the article in the paper, I thought that was really odd, however after reading this thread, I suspect this will end up like the Oilers walking out on their bill at that Italian restaurant, where the person who ran to the papers ends up looking worse than the alleged bandits (and that says something when dealing with Oilers).

I ate at Famous last year after the Highland Games and didn't have any problems. Food was good, service was good. Guess I lucked out.
