also, apparently the Tallest Poppy is re-opening in the Sherbrook Hotel... interesting.

I have so many more questions after watching that video. Is this a temporary thing? Do I have to buy a print before I can have a sandwich?

I am pleased to see that space getting used, though.

I'm assuming temporary. They use 'pop-up' fairly often.

Looks like a fine meatball sandwich made with ingredients purchased at DeLuca's. But yes, it looks like a temporary pop-up thing to promote the artist.

It looks like there is a fair bit of work going on in there (well, in the unit directly on the corner in any case)... and wouldn't you need a fair bit of equipment and apparatus to operate as a restaurant, even if it's just for a day?

At any rate I'm glad that something is going in there, if only for a while.

Would it be any different than having a catered dinner come in?

If the product is made off site in an approved commercial kitchen, warming / holding ovens / serving stuff can be rented and the sandwich made to order on site.

I don't think its temporary. says opening in September on the twitter feed.

[headhorse]

they're doing a pop-up art/sandwich event at a different location before they open in the Bedford Parkade. just a preview of what to expect, I guess.

Tallest poppy is opening in the Sherbrook Inn. In August. That should make Drew happy.

New eateries and bars flood the Exchange District

By Robin Summerfield, CBC News Posted: Jul 28, 2014 2:00 PM CT

With its galleries, boutiques and design houses, Winnipeg’s Exchange District has always been a hub for urban hipness.

But given the recent influx of seven new restaurants, cafés and lounges, the neighbourhood is also cementing its rep as a go-to food destination in the city.

Three new food and drink establishments—District Stop, a club, District Beer Market and a sandwich café, King & Bannatyne—are expected to open in the coming weeks.

“It’s great for us and it attracts people to the area,” said Stephanie Scherbain, communications coordinator at the Exchange District BIZ.

The spike in food vendors gives visitors more reason to explore the historic neighbourhood and then stay longer for food, she added.

“It’s the food and hospitality and entertainment district of the city,” said Wana Etuk, owner of District Stop, the DJ and live-music venue taking over Alive, a club in the area.

I wonder how many times Marble Club/Wise Guys/Alive can reinvent itself?

Anyone remember the club in that location with the beds?

I do.

^ Just the nature of the beast. Few clubs are operating under the same name that they had 20 years ago... the people demand the latest and greatest even if nothing really changes.

Have a few family members high up in earls. The lease at the Pembina space was through the roof, they thought about sticking it out til the new stadium opened but after crunching the numbers it didn't make much of a difference. They've been scouting locations in NE Winnipeg (regent area) for years so you are more likely to see one there before Kenaston, as Polo Park is not far from there either.

Also, they will be building a new earls Main in a few months, so new locations are far down the road.

Judging by what little work BB did to the old Kelseys location, they probably won't do much to the old earls either.... which is great, the dining room there was awesome, just renovated a few years ago.

St James Pump House has posted on social media that due to legal reasons they will be using a different name. Still no word on when they are going to open.
