Douchebag Alert v9.0152.21453.1

Filed under: Fashion, St James — Tags: , , , , , , — g-berg @ 8:27 pm March 27, 2010

Personal style is one thing, but this is just yuck.

I know what to expect when going to trendy bars on Corydon but yeesh..

Look who's an individual!

Look who's an individual!

“Hmm today I’m going to present myself to the world in a way that tells people that I know I’m cooler than my favourite band that you’ve never heard of”

I hope he was hiding a fatal headwound under that ill-fitting toque.

The lesson…douchebaggery in this degree exits.  So be aware.

St James Destination: Airport Motor Hotel

Filed under: St James, beer, winnipeg — Tags: , , — KingORock @ 3:44 pm January 26, 2010

Well, we’ve made the mistake; acknowledged St. James as a part of the Winnipeg map.

We may as well cover more than Salisbury House.

Here it is: The Airport Motor Hotel.

Since a Trip Advisor reviewer called it the worst hotel ever; I figure I may as well just skip ’round back to the lounge.

Any bar that dedikatz tables to its patrons is EH-O-K.  RIP Banker (2009)

PRO: You could win big.

PRO: Hotty (possibly plural) who luvv OV.
"Ever wanted to be known as the widow maker?"

CON: They Close at 6 on Sunday’s. If you’re their to watch football, you’re outta luck.

So overall you’re looking at a 4 to 1 PRO movement. From what my memory can conjure; beer was moderately priced and they’ve got a great customer service plan in place.

Simply push the button on the right and wait...

#REVIEW: St. James: Airport Salsbury House

Filed under: Review, St James, winnipeg — KingORock @ 6:39 pm January 25, 2010

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.

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?!

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?
