Yep. I'm quite surprised there's no seniors price in there since they've already went overboard with the age classifications.

Seniors get 10% off. I heard its good but expensive. As my wife eats like a bird I wont be going.

Grasslands just announced Popeye's, Meating Place and Meltwich.

I assume one of the recently announced new restaurants in HL will be going into the space attached to DSW as they are presently works on site!

It appears that one of Meating Room and Popeyes is going beside DSW and the other is going behind in what was to have been a purpose-built Brown's Social House.

Meltwhich is going in the Knight Archer Building.

I see that Starbucks is back on the site map for Aurora along with Pronto Pizzeria. Anybody familiar with this place?

It's a Winnipeg outfit that applies the Chipotle model to pizza. Fast, fresh and custom.

Maybe Passionate Pizza & Sensuous Sushi was just ahead of its time.

Yep, this newsflash just came in - It is still a bland boring chain that is struggling to remain relevant in North America. Stay tuned as this story unfolds.

Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth.

I didn't think restaurants needed to be relevant; they just need to provide decent-enough food at a decent-enough price with decent-enough service.

But what if you're pretentious? Only trendy and relevant will work in that situation.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I will not bother eating out (for dinner at least) unless it is way better or much different than what I can eat at home (which is very good).

Well people lead busy lives and convenience is worth paying for some people. People actually eat at these places you folks are so proud to look down on and they aren't just trash or hicks that don't know the difference between good and bad. I don't expect or need some 5 star chef to cook for me when I'm out.

I hate the term "elitist" but I really don't know another word that easily explains the attitudes so prevalent in here. I don't give a crap if people eat at McDonald's every week and it has no bearing on what I think about them as a person.

Or is a person who does not cook for themselves the elitist?

Lol. That could be true but they also could just be lazy.
