For Mexican, I really enjoyed Spicy Amigos downtown but it's been a while since I've been there.

I love Mexican food and I need to get out and try Spicy Amigos one of these days. It is just kind of out of the way and in a cursed location. I don't remember any business surviving in that spot for too long. I really liked the schnitzel place that was there about 15 years ago.

Been there a few times and it's good. Not amazing but the stuff I had was solid, I'd go back.

I prefer Casa Catrina, maybe I was just extra hungry but I had one of their tortas and it was amazing.

I think Salt and Pepper is still going in Bowness (no AI used in this note).

I had a handsome yellow pied pickle sweatshirt, courtesy of a trivia question win on the Flames post game show with John Henderson


(for correctly answering that Poul Popiel was the first Danish born player in the NHL)
