U Don Know Shi~

As you all know (and love); we do downtown restaurant reviews.

Today, partly due to some recent anger mail, and in the name of Fair and Balanced reporting, we’re going to venture into the progressive mecca that is St. James…

Where better to start than the Winnipeg hallmark; Salisbury House?

Yes. This photo was taken in 2010.

Salisbury house has been serving Winnipeggers red cake and moderate food for a long time now. As you all may or may not know, it is a heavy favorite for heavy singer/songwriter Burton Cummings. I was lucky enough to dine at the Ellice Salisbury location.

It’s a place for lovers.

2 blue pills & a nip will getz her everytime

It’s a place for the lonely.

I wish I hadn't taken those blue pillz

It’s a place for Winni’s.

If udonknowshi~ -> a winni is a hotdog

If you’ve never been. Don’t think raci$m when you see ‘Nips’ on the menu. It means hamburger and isn’t meant to offend. Although the nip was a temping offer, I went with the Winni.

Proof.

Good advertising works.

But iz it as deelish as it l00ks?!

Total cost on the Wini-plate and the coffee is about 10$. For that, you get a cheezy, onion loaded hotdog that tastes o.k.

The crinkle cut fries were white potato wonderz and coleslaw salad made me gag. However, the salad gag is not their fault; I can’t eat cold mayo. I am barely a man.

I would rate it 2 points above a hot dog cart; as my a$$ didn’t explode an hour later.

Bottom Line: Salisbury House is usually open 24 hours. If you stack this up against Perkins; its a gawd damn 5 star experience. Otherwise, you might want to look elsewhere.

What’z ur favorite Salisbury House experience/food/gaging story?
