So, this is a what to eat after the Biden Death Jab thread now, is it?

Well I guess I'll join in. We went to Peters Drive In as a reward for our daughter who was not excited to get vaccinated. I had a single plus tomato, onion rings and a Dr Pepper. Five stars, I highly recommend.

Peters Drive: is that a Canadian chain?
I never heard of it.

I'm about to eat at a Claim Jumper, which it seems is a chain.

The food was great. It was a belated birthday treat, which somehow I ended up paying for. It's a pretty expensive place, but the portions were enormous. Even the curlson brought some of his dinner home.

The seven layer chocolate cake at Claim Jumpers near Portland might be my favorite chocolate cake of all time. I can't remember bigger portions anywhere I have ever been to a restaurant.

I don't know if it is a chain. It was a single drive through started by a fellow named Gus Peters. I think there are three now.

The original here,
one in Red Deer,
one in Edmonton.

They won best burger in Canada in 1971.

We shared an appetiser of fried cauliflower with hot sauce which was v good. I had a tri-tip sandwich with avocado etc, the others had salmon, rack of ribs, taco. The small girl had clam chowder, as she almost always does. Only slightly disappointing thing were the shoestring fries. Not because they were a bad example, it's just not a great thing to do to a potato.

At our local East Indian place, they call that the Cloud Nine. I sometime grab an order when I'm driving past.

I've had Gobi Manchurian in a few Indian places, which is similar, but this was a bit less sophisticated.

An utter disgrace! You know, I have half a mind to smash that basket over your head, then cram the rest of that ranch dressing up your nose just to teach your palate a lesson!
While in DK it’s the chili cheese dogs and fries or nothing else! (Don’t forget the raw onions!)

Great.

Everyone's having fun here, talking about enjoying some tasty fast food they liked in 2021, and friggin' Funkyterrence has to go ruin it, by threatening poor Red. Jeez Louise.

The Grease Wars on the street are real, 2dimes.
You eat the wrong burger/deep-fried thing in the wrong 'hood and they will cut you.
Evidentally the latest news in Gang Land is there is now a menu-item schism going down between two factions of the notorious D.Q.G. (Dairy Queen Gang).
It's going to be either HR 'Chick-n-Dipper' or FT 'Chili-dawg', because it can't be both.
Yeah, this could get ugly, ...really ugly.
