Just a Taste: Fuddruckers

This Sunday morning I went out with the family for some breakfast at Fuddruckers, as usual it was quite busy. We used to go pretty often, it was our regular breakfast joint. The menu isn't too large and prices are quite affordable.I usually go with a Rancher or Denver sandwich with some hash browns. My favorite part of the sandwich is the bun and the condiments bar allows you to customize your meal. I will admit that the picture doesn't look too tasty, but just trust me when I say it is. Imagine in your mind this Denver sandwich for $3.45.

Just a Taste: Tony Roma's

After school today, my dad and I decided to go for lunch but were unsure where to go. After playing around on a the Urbanspoon Blackberry application we finally made a choice, Tony Roma's up at Stonebridge. This was my first time at this location, and it was quite nice. Tony Roma's generally is a more expensive restaurant, but they had a lot of lunch specials on today.

We began with the onion loaf for an appetizer. It is basically fried onions with a bit of batter, served with a barbeque mayonnaise dip. It was good, but very heavy and left me feeling very full.  I had a chicken bacon sandwich and my dad had a prime rib sandwich. They were both good, along with the very few fries I was able to eat. I felt the chicken sandwich could have used more sauce though, so I put my coleslaw inside of the sandwich.

Tony Roma's is a good place to eat; in my opinion a better place for lunch.

Primitive Recap

retrospective // Recap from The Great White North on Vimeo.

Last Saturday, we held a launch party for Primitive, and — as this particular location is a skate boutique — it was suiting to have such an outing. (A lot of) Friends and family made it out to support and it was a great night. I was on hand to capture the nights’ atmosphere; Jeremy was surely taking photographs; and Ricky Rock had our ears occupied in a different manner than conversation. 

Love to everyone involved: Jenna, coming in to help & for taking it down the next morning.. xo // Geoff, for being a homie // Brennan, for organizing this all // Ryan, helping it happen // Jeremy, “Don’t call me D.. you don’t know me!” // Dallas, you’re the star of the video // Aashna, show your face ma! // Asif & Kent, gotta thank you 2 // Naydene, for smiling // Jamie, dimples times 10 // Jeff, he’ll fire shots // Aristo and Dan, ya’ll were calm(ish) // Lauren, for making it out post-red-cup-party // Jason, I see you // Steve, for STEVE // & Stacy, HEY MON. 

The music is “Anti-Freeze” by Pac Div.

Momentum: Red Cup Party

Last night at Momentum Marketplace, we presented the new Spring line of Primitive clothing along with The Hundreds. The event was sponsored by Kokanee, where we were provided beer and Vitamin Water. There was also good music being played by Ricky Rock. Momentum Marketplace being a smaller place, we managed to fit everyone inside comfortably. Some people were even shopping as this was all going down!

Towards the end of the night there was a draw for door prizes that included: Primitive and Nike SB apparel. After the shop was closing up, majority of people took a bus together to go to Scratch. A large group of us went and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. In conclusion the night was great, everyone had a chance to mingle and relax at the shop and party and dance at the club. I managed to talk to old friends, current friends and make new friends.

If you managed to come out last night, thank you for supporting us.

Love the North,

Skate Session

Dallas, Brennan and I spent the night riding. It sure is getting nice outside, but not quite nice enough to skate. We're not disrespectful or rebels, we just like to skateboard.

Just a Taste: Broadway Cafe

Today Dallas and I went for supper at Broadway Cafe, both craving the classic burger and fries. It is a 50's themed diner well known for serving, breakfast, burgers, milkshakes and fries. It is located on Broadway, hence the name. A pretty good location, filled with the shops and bustle of Broadway. Due to this, parking can be hectic at times.

The service was good, the waitress we had today was well mannered and kind. She was patient with me, as the menu provided me a lot of options. After ordering we only had to wait a short time for our food. This was perfect because we were both extremely hungry. All ingredients were fresh; the coleslaw, the fries and especially the vegetables being used.

Dallas ordered a chicken burger, while I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. The food was great, but it seems they shrunk the portion of coleslaw compared to previous experiences. I didn't order a milkshake this time, but I will let you know that it is large enough to serve two (perfect for a date).
