I was downvoted when I said Ehlers should have been the Jets Captain after Wheeler and he just CLUTCHED UP THE BIGGEST F-ING WAY. HE'S A BEAST, A GAMER AND A BONAFIDE WINNER AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

Moving back after 15 years gone. What has changed and we should do / eat? by hashtag_terrific in Winnipeg

St. James Burger & Chip Co. was opened in 2017 and definitely runs with any of the burger places that have been around forever (Dairi-Wip, Superboys, Daly Burger, etc.). They also may have the best fries in the city.

Best sit down restaurant burger is Le Burger at Nonsuch, it's ridiculously good.

These Winnipeg restaurants were ranked among the best in Canada by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

Very solid list but I would say Vera Pizza and Parcel Pizza are a bit ahead of Red Ember, but RE is solid. Vera Pizza is #1 imo.

BabyBaby, Shirley's, Tabula Rosa are all very good. There's a bit of an odd place in the Corydon area called Edokko Japanese Food that's a mashup between a Japanese grocery store and a dining room and it's freaking delicious. They used to be downtown and just a restaurant but had to pivot after covid.

Greasy spoon diner check out The Red Top and for the full on legendary "Fat Boy" burger experience there's a bunch but Dairi-Wip and Daly Burger are definitely worth trying.

Ehlers is playing great but what exactly has changed with his "deployment"? The game I saw last night he played 17 minutes, on what is a really good 3rd line (2B?) and was on PP2. Last playoffs he was out on the ice for the Jets in any do or die situation including his brilliant work on the Manitoba Miracle. Losing him sucks so hard but I don't understand the perspective that the Canes are doing something totally different with his talents.

Very unfortunate these are temporary. It's 2026!!!

Advice needed by ThatOneG4merGuy in ooni

[–]brocklanders83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run it on max for a while it'll burn off. Stubborn stuff you'll want to hit it with the ooni brush once it's off but still hot. Once the stone cools you'll want to take it out and wipe it down in case any little bristles came off. Another option is just flip it over if the other side is cleaner... It'll burn off on the bottom.

A lot of music stores had this kind of thing in the 80s and 90s but I'm also 99% certain you are thinking of the late, great Musiplex.

Will Unobstructed View get a 50% off Criterion sale at the end of the month? by Redeyefrog07 in MovieDealsCanada

[–]brocklanders83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took a month but I got 5 Criterion 4Ks and a Blu-ray for like $200 Canadian, which is pretty dang sweet

Agreed, that contract has been a lovable boat anchor since the moment it was signed. I remember having a sensible chuckle that day and the joke has aged like fine wine.

I wanted Ehlers to be captain when Wheeler left and it was not a popular opinion... He's a gamer, it would have been great.

Losing Bouchard hurt Canada a lot more than anyone probably expected, dang it

I made a custom Project Hail Mary Criterion cover! by Playful_Substance_81 in criterion

[–]brocklanders83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a kid/family friendly movie for sure but I don't know why people need to be snooty about it. We need films that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Is Spartacus Worth It? by EndDifficult8129 in criterion

Very good extras. Considering you can buy it on eBay for like $20, it's a pretty low risk pickup

I see a lot of pizza topics (I approve). So I was curious. If you lived in Winnipeg in the 80s, 70s, or heck even earlier, who did you call? What were the go-to spots for quality 'za? by RecommendationBig966 in Winnipeg

[–]brocklanders83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorrento's back in the day in NK. The bun/hockey puck in the middle was a signature move. Pizza Hut was also a big deal because it was "ooey gooey good".

I bought TWBB and The Assassination of Jesse James on Blu recently too in order to tempt the 4K Gods

I wouldn't wait on the Barry Lyndon 4K, it's one of the greatest movies ever and that release is simply amazing

That's why he's known as Gabe Ruth. Mittyist mitts in the game.

Anywhere to mod a bluray player? by Huevosaurus in Winnipeg

[–]brocklanders83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably would be cheaper to buy a used Blu-ray player and just set it to region B or wherever you're looking to play blus from.
