Haha I see you've done your research KHTM. If you plan it out right, you could probably spend the entire Stampede week without bringing or buying anything to eat...of course you'd probably have a heart attack at the end too :D

Yes, I work on 6th Ave and 2nd Street, so as long as it's in walking distance I'm there.

I don't care so much for the actual food, it's just the skipping work for an hour that's the fun part.:thumbsup:

Energy Plaza is tuesday, but you need a ticket...I wonder if I can swipe a few.:p Maybe sneak in?

5th ave was okay last year, pancakes, syrup, egg beaters, pudding, and juice. So-so.

Sunlife, you got popsicles while you were waiting in line, a big ass hot dog and/or burger, pop/juice, beans, and some other stuff.

My office is in Energy Plaza, and it is private, they check for tickets at the door. Don't worry though. It's not that great. Go to Gulf Canada Square instead.

Not for the downtown folk but on Wed 12th I think there is one at the U of C by CJSW. should be good.

I wouldn't go to any free ones. Anyone else drive by Chinook this morning, you'd have to wait 4 hours to get a free pancake. People do realize how easy pancakes are to make at home don't they?

I have some buddies that work in Gulf Canada Square and they said the breakfast was Tuesday. I'll have to stop by and see.

I can confirm the 5th Ave place, and the Shell/Canterra breakfast seems right.

The Petro lunch is a long line, so a good time to be there is like 11:00 or later at around 1:00.

Id be up for it, just pick a place and day. Maybe Thurs, 5th Ave place or Canterra. Gulf canada sounds good too, as long as you dont have to be in that building.

Anyways, I went to the one here in Petro today and it was alright. Not bad, not great....it filled me up. But I got a bad tummy ache off it....:dunno:
