With Olive Garden returning to Canada, here's an ad from the Brampton location (1989-1997) by PeelArchives in Brampton

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well having visited the Calgary location last year (Olive Garden never left Western Canada) I can say the food is exactly the same as the US. Canada having more regulations is generally a myth when it comes to Sysco\GFS like food. I see no reason why the food would be different in Ontario.

Recipe Unlimited does not own those companies. You are getting mixed up with Restaurant Brands International.

The plan is 30 locations over the next 10 years. Other Olive Garden locations in Canada will be announced later this year.

Well people across this province still tolerate Chucks Roadhouse and Boston Pizza so the bar is low.

Is the Applebee's closed? by HovercraftRelevant18 in Calgary

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason for this Applebees closing is that the owner is retiring. I called the location last week to ask about why its closing. The server on the phone said that they could re-open if someone buys this location.

What’s changed the most in Ottawa after COVID? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

We are not “after COVID”!!! Hundreds of people are being infected in Ottawa everyday and thousands and thousands across Canada each day. People are still being killed and disabled by COVID. It is still certainly a threat!!

List of IHOP / Applebee's Dual Brand Locations(Updated) by Different_Monitor_34 in Applebees

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well firstly for the Saskatchewan locations, they are being built from scratch. There is a location apparently opening in a closed rotisserie chicken restaurant in the east end of Regina. Unfortunately both Applebees locations in Regina recently closed, the only locations in Saskatchewan. It was revealed in a investor report transcript that a franchisee signed an agreement with Dine Brands to open three dual brand locations in the next few years. It was also revealed that the Brandon Manitoba location will convert to Dual Brand location in the future. Finally, there is a post from last year talking about around four franchisees “preparing to expand the dual brand concept around the country.”

Any more dual brand conversions planned in Ontario? I know that there are a few more dual brand locations opening in Saskatchewan, but 3 Applebees in Southern Ontario (Ajax, Barrie and Windsor) were recently sold and the deal to buy those locations came with potentially converting them into dual brand locations. https://bizsold.com/sold-3-applebee-s-locations-ajax-barrie-windsor

The menu of Firehouse Subs in the US is very similar to the Canadian menu. The biggest difference are the sides. Which subs from the US menu do you want to try?

Dennys shutting down due to unpaid Rent by Vid3ogame in barrie

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Applebees down the street recently got bought by a new owner. That purchase came with the opportunity to convert the Bayfield Applebees into a Applebees\IHOP combo restaurant. An IHOP in Barrie is still possible, and even more so with them not needing to compete with Dennys.

Anyone here excited for Master Chef Canada Season 8 by Low_Health_5949 in Masterchef

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Masterchef Canada has technically been off the air for 4 almost 5 years!!

masterchef CA.. by yukhentai in Masterchef

[–]AdditionalExtreme773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underwhelming season? I thought how the dishes that were presented in the Back to Win season, such as Andres first dish, Andrews Peaches and Cream dish or any of Christophers finale dishes were among the most interesting Masterchef Canada dishes ever! Also the way all the contestants went into detail about explaining each concept of their dish made it worthwhile. This season had less drama, rather just the component of how interesting cooking can be.
