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.
