Review: Osbourne Brunch

Filed under: Lunch, Survival — Tags: , — KingORock @ 4:58 am September 11, 2011

Not rich enough 4 our Lunch reviews section?? I spotted this tidy little pairing while walking past the Safeway in Osbourne Village.

Osbourne Brunch

  • Mini Ravioli – like revenge, best served cold
  • apple – unwashed so you can get all the waxxy goodness

It’s all there; vitamins, minerals & if you’re smart about it;; it won’t even cost you 3 dollars.

Who can argue with that?

Winter in Winnipeg is a cruel bizznatch; but that doesn’t mean you can’t look good.

Example A:

Being prepared neva looked soooo good)(*!

Not only does this guy have the fashion sense & rugged good looks; he’s carrying everything he needs to succeed in downtown Winnipeg.

4 Rilla

Lookin' Lean; Doin' the casual wall lean

The Tim Hortons cup keeps your caffeine levels high while the zippered vents let yo legz breath on those balmy days.

Always check the weather network!

The Cosby sweater throws down a lil’ bit of flair while the look of utter despair hints at the need for summer.

GO JOE*!

Culture & Cuisine: Minhaus Lime

Filed under: Review, Survival, beer — Tags: , , — KingORock @ 1:49 am December 18, 2009

If you’ve been with us for a while now; we’ve covered celebrities, Google streetview in Winnipeg and lunch downtown.

But where’s the drinks?

Ladies and gentleman; I bring you: Minhaus Lime

Discount Manitoba beer with a distinctly watered down finish

Discount Manitoba beer with a distinctly watered down finish

Minhaus was a late entry into this summers’ ‘lime in beer’ craze. At a hard hitting retail price of under $8/6 pack -> how could you go wrong?

  • Good ask.

You can’t. You want to drink. This will get you drunk.

Upside: It kinda tastes like they fermented sprite into drunkeness. Sooo at least it doesn’t taste as raw as Minhaus regular.

Downside: It’s only 4.9% booze, so you may want to go for something stronger if you’re looking for more than a winter pee.

REVIEW: Chicago Phils $5 Lunch Special

Filed under: Lunch, Survival, downtown wpg, hype, winnipeg — Tags: , , — KingORock @ 6:43 pm December 14, 2009

Here’s the deal: Lunch for $5 tax included.

As the friendly young lady working there put it: “People don’t like to deal with change”.

You get:

    1. 2 slices of pizza
    2. 1 can drink
    3. A decent view of downtown

First off the pizza; what have you sold yourself into here?

Chicago Phils offers about 6 different pizza’s each day. There’s always vegetarian pizza options as well as a truly loaded pizza party for carnivores.

The pizza is pre-cooked, then oven heated when you order.

Non-bi(h)odegradable container is optional.  Tell them you want a paper plate

A word of caution: The food is hot. I burnt the inside of my mouth beautifully.

Hours later I was pulling sheets of burnt dead skin out of my mouth.

Anyway, back to food…

The pizza is hearty.

They seem to use real ingredients.

I was full when I had finished eating.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is a gourmet outing, the food is good (not mindblowingly great).

It’s nice to get out of my windowless office cell and feel like there is some space:::

A little foggy (due to that harsh winter shi~) but a break from the office all the same

Bottom Line: If you’re downtown :: Try it. It’s a good cheap lunch.

Winnipeg’s HOT Commodity

Filed under: Survival, downtown wpg, no fixed address, winnipeg — MarzDef @ 4:22 pm December 11, 2009

WOW!!! These guys are good!  The only clean part about Winnipeg’s downtown are the ashtrays.  While sitting in my car this morning before work, i saw at least 3 different Native Canadianz walk by, stop and pick out butts, and continue on their journey, the first one actually got a full smoke.. but had to bum a light. I commend these men, and their valiant efforts for keeping the streets of Winnipeg spick and span of any tobacco. That shit kills, you know.

First things first. For the true experience of this post… press play on this video before reading further.

Now that your life sounds like a cruise night stop light; lets talk big business: SAND.

Bins aren't the only thing blue -- We got Barrels

Bins aren't the only thing blue

This post is aimed at the those who don’t understand winter the way Manitoba does. Basically the deal is this:

  1. It’s get’s really f^ckin’ cold here.
  2. Cold = Icy Roads, Parking lots, parkades and sidewalks.
  3. Sand is cure-all.


wowwwwwwww

wowwwwwwww

Often called ‘Traction Sand’ these blue barrels of ‘not fallin’ on your a$$’ can be make or break when you’re trying to get your 92 Toyota beater out of an impark lot before the meter is up.

The blue bins dominate downtown, leaving me wondering::::: who is the Sand man getting rich off this basic need???

Honestly, I wasn’t interested enough to find out.

I did, however, manage to find one renegade bin. The story rings true -> bad guys always wear black.

Eat my @ss blue barrels

Eat my @ss blue barrels

So yeah. If you’ve got an icy situation to clear up and you’re a tree hugger who hates salt, use sand.

We’re doing it.

It seems to work.

For those of you looking for a little more spice in you’re ‘nothings happening but the news must go on’ lives. Check this out:
