    Now as far as options, I have lived in the dirty south all my life. Wellingtons is good no matter when you go and is lucky to be still open. The best steak sandwich option is the new Penny Black in Douglasglen. Thursday’s are happy hour and you can get it for $10. $19 all other days and it is still a good deal.
    How many different places has that building been over the last 20 years, wow.

    Only for 2+ months a year, and uni.

    And yeah, food = drinking at times. Also most of what you quoted are high school based memories; what is your end goal here?

    No goal, just curious.

    My wife has solidly been on the wanting to eat out at Joey tomatoes every day well before kids were a thing.

    She likes to caveat it with “they serve sushi and you like sushi” *shudder*
    You know what's weird....I've never had a BAD meal at a Joey's or earls, that I can recall. I dont hate it.

    It’s never bad no. But certainly never amazing

    They source decent steaks which is never a bad in my books.

    Bill's Peking House and M Palace are good options for more authentic HK style Cantonese Chinese food (that's the good stuff). I say HK cuz you don't really want mainland China style Chinese food lol

    It's like McDonalds...you dont go there because it is good, you go there because it is the same.

    I think you’d be hard pressed to find many people that have left Calgary. I can only think of a handful that I grew up with, lots even eventually returned back as well.

    Was pretty close to moving out east for a period (after the “divorce”) as at least I know a fair amount of people out there; but after weighing it all out, still tough to beat Calgary

    I am the worlds biggest defender of McDonald’s for that reason yes. I am damn thankful it exists.

    The Bull and Finch is the reason we call it the Dirty South.

    Bow Valley Ranche and Lake House are both good for sit down.

    Brewsters in McKenzie for pub food.

    Mexican: Tu Tierra on Bonaventure Drive
    Nepalese: Taste of Himalayas in Midnapore
    Indian: Raj Palace (Riverbend or Midnapore)
    Sushi: Haru in McKenzie Towne
    Chinese: Riverbend Peking House

    It's all relative, I think there are good options around but we do venture outside the quadrant a lot for food too.

    I go to McDonald's because it's good AND it's consistent.
    That's probably the most frequent take-out I've had in the SE, maybe tied with Edo.

    Also agree. Always $3 too much. Always good. Never excellent. Often talent.

    Edit - partial proof is the Earls in Willow Park surviving while the Moxie's across the street died.

    Someone mentioned Plaka’s this used to be my go to for Greek food in the south, the wine selection could use an upgrade but food wise, it always delivered. This was at their original location, in Shawnessy I haven’t been to the new location, same owners I believe.

    Went with some co workers years ago to Karma (Indian). I think it’s in Mackenzie towne or somewhere around there in the Deep South and it was pretty good.

    Bonavista Peking House has always been good.
    Brok'n Yolk in Cranston is excellent.
    Y93 Sushi Crave in Midnapore is so good.

    Chinese: Ken's by Glenmore Inn
    Breakfast: Rocky Mountain Flat bread on 130th
    Other?: Cow town beef shack in McKenzie Towne is alright

    Saw bowtie pizza mentioned, it was meh for me when we tried it, an alternative to the chains is Jon's Pizza in Douglasdale

    Raj Palace (recommended above) is much much better Indian food. Give them a shot. The Riverbend location is small, so a quick lunch isn't likely but the food is worth the wait.
