Image by Bistro 33

There's nothing like getting a great deal at a local eatery, especially on a lazy weekday evening, which is why I'm excited to tell you about Bistro 33's Taste and Share night.  It looks like the deal is a spin off from their usual 2 for $10 deal on Tuesday evenings, which is an equally great deal.  Here's the scoop about tomorrow:

From 5 p.m. - 11 p.m.
Enjoy $5 small plates on some of their signature items such as Lobster Poutine, Seafood Crepe, Moules Frites, Duck fried rice, and more!

You'll find discounted beer and wine as well, and there's nothing wrong with getting a little toasty with some friends or your significant other.  Here's to a good week!

Burger Club - Verdict is Still Out...

Image by Fatiha B. 

While I've been hearing some mixed reviews about Burger Club, I have to say that it intrigues me very much.  I've passed by a few times, but have always been on my way somewhere else, so I haven't yet ventured inside.  While it looks enticing, it's also never too crowded, which shows they still have their work cut out when it comes to clientele.  Curious about the menu, I grabbed one and wanted to share it.  They have poutine...wowza!
