I know a guy with a gun and a bucket. How picky are you?

He'll probably even come right to your house...granted, that might present some challenges of it's own...

Its an intriguing business model.

I used to have a guy at a place, but he retired, so what I'm trying to say is, I don't have anything to offer. My new place is Leader Auto, but not sure that it's an option there.

Looks like all the Wonton King locations are closing at the end of the month.

I am sure this is old news to many here, but it is new to me.

Dave's Hot Chicken is coming to YYC

We can officially start to get excited as the LA-founded hot chicken chain confirmed to Dished that it has signed leases on three Calgary outposts, which are slated to open this spring.

Like if you're dying for a hot chicken sandwich there's Alumni and Birdie.

And if you want chicken fingers, grow up.

Well....damn. That really sucks.

I used to go there all the time from my old office.

A good Wonton is hard to come by, and almost fairly rare, but moreover, getting the really good broth is critical and theirs was fantastic.

Also, I believe that their wonton soup was cooked in the fires of Mount Doom (<-great name for a Mountain by the way) because I'd quickly hop over there and by the time I'd gotten back to my office the plastic container they put the soup in had melted and deformed, it was like a race to get it back to my office and into a bowl.

Thats how you knew it was good!

Is Dave’s just some spicy version of Raising Canes?

It used to be really convenient from my old office, now not so much, however! I shall have you know!

I was there 2 weeks ago and I didnt see any notice that they were closing.

How does a Chinese Food place in this City close? You'd think I'd be single-handedly keeping them in business and sending a couple of kids through College.

There are way too many fried chicken places anyway. Spicy chicken sandwich, there’s 49 places that do that!

Any good Nandos style places? (Not breaded). Can’t stand deep fried batter on chicken.

Also why is bbQ Chicken allowed to sell anything but bbq chicken. Call it grossass fryer oil chicken.
