Survey of Downtown Calgary Donairs - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

J pold · 02-20-2015, 01:28 PM

So a former investment banking colleague of mine sent along a very in depth analysis of the best donair in Downtown Calgary this morning and I thought CP would enjoy it. It's pretty hilariously well done and credit goes to him and some colleagues for doing all the work.

There are a few images from the survey, and a link to the full document below:

Spoiler!

Investment bankers must not be worried about imminent layoffs.

Haha yeah this just made the rounds through my inbox too. Amazing work they're doing!

Jimmy's is downtown now?

Jimmy gave my son a lollipop last month. My son's mouth and lips were vivid blue for 24 hours.

Jimmy did that on purpose. Jimmy is a joker.

lol i know one of the authors of this. he's a pretty hilarious guy, so i'm not too surprised when i found out he was part of this.

Ha ha, my claim of Olly Fresco's making a good donair was substantiated.

My buddy's family owns Pita Basket. I'll be sure to show him this!

Jimmy's down!

Which one is Jimmy? Is he that younger fat guy with his gut hanging out below his shirt, always signing?

I can't avoid that guy. Go to the old location, there he is, went to the new one near Chumir center.. there he is!

Nice work!

I need to report an error though. Pita Basket will grill your donair. They don't always ask you though when they're busy. It's my favorite due to meat quantity.

This is true. Always need to ask to have it toasted. I used to be the biggest pita basket supporter. One week I went on a massive binge and ate it every days for 8 days straight. Now maybe it was that binge, but it hasn't tasted the same to me in a couple years. Maybe new recipe's or something? I've noticed even the garlic spread isn't as tasty. Either way, Chick Pea has taken my #1 spot for now around that area.

What about Babylon Qithara in Eau Claire????? That's an obvious omission I need answered.

crazy_eoj · 02-23-2015, 03:03 PM

Obvious question: is the chicken shawarma or Falafel report up next?

corporatejay · 02-23-2015, 09:37 PM

Babylon Quitara in Eau Claire is not on your list, therefore the list is invalid

Byrns · 02-24-2015, 08:51 PM

CBC has picked up the story. I guess because someone posted it on Reddit. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...nair-1.2970610

Huntingwhale · 02-26-2015, 03:15 PM

It's on CBC radio right now. Absolutely hilarious.

dubc80 · 02-26-2015, 03:48 PM
