I wonder how much longer Peters' Drive-In will last. People will lineup for several blocks in Calgary, but here it's just crickets.
Had a burger and a shake for dinner, was quite passable.

Shakes are good….but the burgers suck. That place is part of YYC’ers urban fabric. Load up the SUV, grab a bag of Pete’s and go and pretend to be important DINKs in Canmore and Banff….that’s their lifestyle….not ours. I’m ok not to partake in a YYC overrated burger shack

Their burgers are terrible, I ordered from there once and vowed never to go there again.

That's too bad as it was something a bit unique, tasty, great coffee and used a small space that may be hard to fill.

I stopped by Bite of Brazil to participate in Downtown Dining Week during the March 18 weekend and I had no idea they were closing.

Speaking of Downtown Dining Week, I had dinner at Dorinku Osaka on Sunday night. Their food and hot sake was good but I enjoyed the vibe and the packed house even more. If you want proof that downtown is coming back, this is it!

^Certain places like Dorinku, DOSC and Campio that have a good vibe, good service, good offerings have recovered or are recovering better than others.
