Went to the new restaurant called The Imperial, located beside Barrymore's where the Pita Pit used to be. It's very good! The decor is nice, everything is very comfortable, filled with old movie posters from when Barrymore's was the Imperial Theatre. There is a drop-down screen, suggesting that they're showing movies time to time, or they'll be doing this in the future. ? I dunno. Just two people working last night, the server and the cook. Server dude was very nice and easy going, cook was very fast and good at what she does. Menu was very interesting, 5 soups and a chili, 3 or 4 salads, 3 or 4 pizzas, 3 sandwiches, and 3 or 4 other dishes, plus specials every day. The soups all looked super good (I am a soup person). There are just two beers on tap - Heritage Dark and Beau's Lug Tread. They serve pitchers for $18, taxes and tip included. For the meal I had a trio of mushroom soup, it was good (not excellent like I make at home). Would have liked it more if it was a bit thicker, but it was one of the better mushroom soups I've had in restaurants. (Some of the other soups on the menu were Buttercoconut Squash, Brocoli with Balderson cheddar, and I'm now drawing a blank...). For my main I had a fresh home-made burger topped with pickled onions and old Balderson cheddar on a fresh whole wheat bun with really tasty thick-cut fries. It was delicious, I haven't had a burger in a while and this one was super good. Not too big, not too small. Fries were really good. Others in my group had the Chicken Waldorf Salad and the Curried Chicken Lavash (a wrap). Both got really good reviews. For dessert I had the English Toffee Cheesecake. It was light and fluffy and tasty. Prices were excellent, except for the soup. Burger was $7.50, dessert was $4.50, but the soup was $5.50 - wtf. That's too much. But oh well. Soup + Burger + Dessert + Beer + Tax + Tip = approx $30. Service was fast and very friendly. Everyone was satisfied. (There was 1 cook and we were a table of 7 and we were all served in under 20 minutes). Other friends went on the weekend and raved about the chili and the sour cream apple pie, if you want other recommendations. I'll definitely be going back often.

if there's a canadian shipping option they'll probably ship the tickets to canada. ?

86% turnout 75% of votes cast were No votes.

No Barrymore's!

thank goodness all those other national hockey organizations keep sending teams for canada to beat. it's nice that they think of the poor canadian hockey ego for once. very selfless.

Maybe he thought you were Burton Cummings' brother

saw them at bonnaroo 2004 and ottawa jazz fest in 2004 and didn't much care for them. maybe they're doing different stuff now....

haha, "the aardvark asked for a dagger"

I blame Carrie Underwood. I'll take one for the team and keep her occupied for a couple weeks to let Fisher concentrate on scoring. In hockey.

Smartest thing you've ever said in this forum.

Should we tell Kev that coaches can coach for many different teams over their careers?
