Dunno about posh, but certainly expensive. It's in The Marriott hotel here so probably lots of people on expenses paid junkets.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Get the rib steak and add a lobster tail to it. I also go for the garlic mash potatoes and a side of mushrooms. For a starter, I'd go with the scallops and bacon. Get yourself a bottle of Chilean merlot. Its cheap but decent.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had prime rib medium rare with caesar salad and a large Newcastle.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Every older person I've ever been to the Keg with has ordered the prime rib. The country club classic. :rofl:

baby cherry tomatoes in mayo, philly cheese drenched in chilli oil with crackers

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It was ok but not great, took about 45 minutes to get our food once ordered, barely warm, relatively tender but it had been pounded out to 1/2" thick, (if you breaded it it would pass for a cutlet) so not what I'd even call a steak but the jus had fresh rosemary and that was nice. Not as good as the moose steaks my neighbour gave me and not worth $25, I won't go back unless it's free again and given input I'd choose someplace else. This was at the new Regina Centre Crossing location so maybe being new makes a difference.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I go to the one on Granville Island mainly as HID is frequently given gift cards there and as she doesn't eat red meat they'd just go to waste unless I'm considerate enough to use them up. ;)

I've always had good service, but it is a low end chain steakhouse that probably had its day 25 years ago. When we have big cheeses come to town we take them to Gotham's as they do a better steak.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

There's more than one size? :confused:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Yes, it was on tap and they had (I think) 13 oz and 18 oz. The big one was $8 and as I wasn't paying that seemed fair. I've only been in about 6 big chain steakhouses and haven't really been impressed by any of them.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm struggling to recall it in anything other than bottles and cans.

I remember The Seahorse pub in Bristol having 'Exhibition' on draught.

(that was a bit of a dive - Siouxie will probably confirm)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

My older pup serves in the Victoria Keg- he is back in the kennel for Christmas- he would recommend the Mushroom Neptune for starter, New York steak , rare/ medium rare, garlic mash potatoes, side of sauté mushrooms. Washed down with J. Lohr Cab Sav and finish with creme brûlée ...
He prefers kibble:lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

With you on the steak houses. My former team went to Mandarin for a lunchtime buffet for their xmas do- so no 45-minute wait. My new team went to Jack Astors, so there was a wiat and the food not as good but had a nice pint of cider. Forgot to specify no ice though...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Good choice. I'll try the Mushroom Neptune next time. If its rubbish I tell the manager it was recommended by an employee in the Victoria branch. He shouldn't be too hard to narrow down. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

He is the only English speaking pup there, long fluffy ears, gormless expression, cold wet nose but significant capacity for alcohol- easy to spot!:lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hunk of crusty French bread, lump of cheese and Haywards pickled onions.

:thumbsup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Christmas lunch at 1pm EST, will be my FIL, son together with me & the OH.

Food wise its what the wife made at the beginning of December, consisting of Sausage rolls & mince pies. Side dishes of home made veggie platter, assorted cut up fruit, humas & pita bread.

Pot of coffee & tea with home made marzipan topped Christmas cake.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sausage, eggs, chips and beans.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh my! Sainsbury's 2 eggs & chips- heaven :thumbsup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

One of the greatest food combos ever.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Salmon en croute, celeriac & spud mash, oven roasted garlic cauliflower,u Horseradish & mustard sauce.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Knackwurst, what part do you suppose they make that from?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The wurst part of course. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

President's Choice Jammin' Jamaican Lobster Bisque.

Expensive but very nice.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Kippers and toast.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Nice. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Paired with a new Lemon Hart and Diet Coke. :lol:
Get the butter.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I've just slapped a steak and kidney from Herringtons in Port Perry in the oven. 45 minute wait... a pal in the pub gave to me. Big things expected. Now, do I pair with mash or what?



Must look for that Jamaican lobster bisque; I've found the PC soups one of the rare disappointments in the PC Range though.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Cheddar, pickled egg and avocado sandwich. And a few crisps on the side.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'd be tempted to have it on its own.

In the upright freezers with the lean cuisines and other single size ready made meals

Mine was reduced to $2.99, not sure from what.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ah it was the large cans I was thinking of. I'll have a look as I need to do my quarterly loblaws coffee run soon.

I basted some spuds with an olive oil/ hot sauce/ montreal steak spice mix. They turned out good but the pie was out of this world.

#pieproblemssolved

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No luck on the Lobster Bisque in the Richmond Hill Loblaws.

Does remind me of when Tescos went totally Rowley Birkin and tried to stock everything in every single flavour available.... and then no one bought it (or not enough people)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Went for pho', stewed beef rice noodle soup #47.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Chicken paprikash, chips and corn.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

three rashers of crispy streaky bacon with a one egg omelet, topped with HP, mug of dandelion tea to wash it down

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Our local meat and everything else store sells many odds and ends.
Steak ends, for example, which are actually very good pieces of steak.

But yesterday they had dollops (for want of a better word) of Mild Italian sausagemeat that hadn't been turned into Mild Italian sausages.

Just a dollop in Styrofoam trays the same as the sausages would be. They make great sausage meat patties.

I had one, with a fried egg and a hash brown pattie. Lurvely.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm starting to think that lobster bisque never existed...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Took HID out for a nice lunch but ended up buying a new sofa and two armchairs. :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It didn't . It's the stuff of myth and legend for me down here at the bottom of the world. Along with a quality crab sandwich. :cry_smile:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm meant that lobster bisque, but any would be good. Better than an armchair, anyhow.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh :lol:

See there. I saw the words lobster bisque and was away in my own dreamworld of tasty charm
