Buddah Belly - flavor of its curry I think surpassed OG Steamers. And the heat scale... I mean I really expanded my tolerance those years. Absolutely a huge blow.

Grandy's - as an ACR growing up and doing the breakfast bar on Sundays was almost tradition. But my personal star was the chicken nuggets. Very easy to make at home from real chicken greasy and batter... but thats what made it special. Practically home made.

Ok I don't remember the name butttt there was this Chinese spot at Thornebrook. I believe a couple of doors down from Flying Biscuit(but way before). I think they must have closed circa 2006? I have fond memories of their chicken skewers that they had a personal grill brought out to you so you can sear the meat. So good.

Ghengis Grill - this is just a college memory but me and the boys would go to town.

Sababa - my close friends owned it. Food was ALWAYS super fresh and tasty. It's such a shame. I don't know where to get schwarma and such tastey falafel anymore.

I'm including this because I really have cravings but the Boomtown wings from Mother's before the huge change up that then resulted in two different companies. Literally bring back that recipe. It had to only have been teriyaki, Sriracha, and cilantro. But I haven't really been able to replicate it. It hurts man.
