So, we got up early this year for the Chinook Centre Stampede Breakfast as it was the centennial, and we knew it would be packed! We were right, it was packed – so we lined up and got our breakfast. Afterwards, we wanted a little more, so we popped into Phil and Sebastian that was [...]
For the last 2 years on Boxing Day and random days throughout the year, I’d find myself inside a Zellers and eating at their Family Restaurant. This year is no different, we got to Chinook Centre bright and early on Boxing Day to make sure the lines weren’t insane. Last year, we waited 3 hours [...]
This particular evening we were wanting to eat at Boston Pizza which is somewhere we use to go a lot, but has cut down. We went to the Chinook Centre location as it’s not only convenient, but we could also get some Christmas shopping afterwards! This location is one of the newest locations in Calgary, [...]
I had to give Bliss & Co Cupcakes and Desserts a try when my friends, and friends of friends say a place is good! It’s definitely not bad for a dessert/cupcake place with the convenience of a mall location. However, it doesn’t taste nearly as fresh as cupcakes from an actual cupcake bakery… and we [...]
Our breakfast run for Calgary Stampede 2011 Breakfast from Chinook Centre started bright and early! We got there around 7:30am, maybe even closer to 8:00am to catch the crowd roll in as the hours get closer to noon. It was truly a neat experience as the mall was closed, and there was nice music and [...]
Wow, I was so happy to think that Stampede starts next week!! We first have the great Stampede Parade which I think I’m going to have to PVR this year. Hopefully I can make it to the stampede parade route one year soon to get great pictures again! The parade this year will be held [...]
Kernels Popcorn in Chinook Centre always offers the freshest popcorn in the Kernels chain. There are a lot of flavours that they carry that I really like, but my current favourite flavour would be the Sweet Chili Thai. It’s got this nice kick to it and it makes me sneeze and cough when I inhale [...]
Stampede Breakfast: Pancakes, sausage, other great food, great location, great entertainment, FREE! What’s there not to like about stampede Breakfasts? 3 of my favourite Stamped Breakfasts: 1. Family Day at the Stampede Grounds – Calgary Stampede has always offered a stampede breakfast at the Grandstand, thanks to Caravan Stampede Breakfasts. They offer great breakfasts throughout [...]
Ever craved a nice cup of coffee that just perfect, complete with foam art? Phil & Sebastian at Chinook Centre does just that! They make a wonderful tasting cup of coffee with a little something special on the top! It’s a wonderful treat and melts all the stress from the day away!
We arrived at CHOP the other night for a celebration of ours. We were super excited to try an upscale steak house, which was true! We arrived about 6pm, and it was starting to get busy, but we were lucky and was able to grab a table. The atmosphere was really quite warm, and modern! [...]
