    TIL: Wok Box started in Edmonton.

    This was part of a CBC piece on restaurant chains that started in Edmonton. I already knew about Boston Pizza, Earls, and Cactus Club.

      @Chigaze I remember that one of my son's first jobs was near their first location, and he ate a LOT of his meals there the whole time that he worked there. They had great veg options, and it was pretty early in his vegetarian journey.

        @EllenInEdmonton That location is near our offices so I've grabbed food there a few times. It's always been good.

            @lorimolson Their headquarters is now in Richmond but the first location was in Edmonton in 1964.

              It's a nice mix of flavours and textures. A bit like the late, great Mongolian Food Experience.

                It will always be funny to me that an Edmonton restaurant serving pizza named itself after a city in the eastern US. Of course, they generally just use their initials now, like KFC and all Canadian banks.

                    @Daveography @EllenInEdmonton @lorimolson Fun fact: A lot of greek immigrants settled in Jasper which is why there are a number of Greek restaurants there. Also because of the saturation of Greek food a number of the Italian restaurants were run by Greek families as well. The dynamic there was already changing before the fire but there are a lot of ownership changes happening now.
