Re: What's the chefyest meal you have ever had?
We may be talking about different types of Movenpicks...I'm referring to the place called 'Marche' which is at BCE Place I think plus Square 1 in Mississauga. The place in Yorkville tends to have a different menu.
The Movenpicks in Switzerland are quite different..now if only they have the versions that they have on the Autobahn in Switzerland here on the 401.

then it was at least in the ballpark of its swiss counterparts
I must admit the "fast food" highway side breakfasts in Switzerland are remarkable

Talking of good restaurants, anyone got any suggestions for Washington (downtown - Georgetown area?). I have to suck up to some people (Aussies) in a few weeks. I know nothing of Washington, except one hotel near the airport.

There's a bar in Georgetown with a proper snooker table. Once I found that I looked no further.
(Perhaps I looked no farther, I'm unsure whether I was physically searching for a table or if it's a metaphor for the quest to rediscover the familiar things of childhood).

"I want to go farther in this organisation. To further that ambition, I will do an MBA in marketing, probably at Queens."
Clear now?

I'd look farther than Queen's.
we have already established I did not. I'm from Scotland, not Canada.

"We are used to the waitresses here being on the gruff side but this took that to a whole new level. Our waitress was definitely not friendly nor helpful. She did seem very busy and was running around like crazy. After placing our orders, she brought us a pile of silverware that still had food on it. When we managed to get her attention again, we explained that the siverware was dirty and requested new. Initially she wanted to tell us that it was just wet from the dishwasher but when we pointed out the chunks of food and the egg on them she walked away in a huff. Two minutes later, 5 forks and five knives came flying onto our table as she walked by the table, scattering as they landed. We were speechless. We debated walking out but figured that since we had placed our orders we really couldn't do that."
Do you go there often?

I do like diners. Breakfast in America is one of my favourite things, but that place sounds rather a dump:

Funnily enough, I don't. Never been infact, won't be going anytime soon
