🍽 Is Gordon Ramsay Burger good?

But seriously, is it worth going?

Hey foodies!

Welcome back to another edition of the tastiest email you’ll get all week.

If last week’s newsletter was packed, this week’s is overflowing. Next time someone says there’s nothing happening in the burbs, send them this email and tell them to eat it. And then tell them to subscribe.

Also, at the bottom you’ll see a weird experience I had last week. I’d love your POV.

Alright forks up, let’s go.

P.S. The most clicked thing in last week’s newsletter was about Cartems Donuts opening in Coquitlam.

WORTH IT

AYCE crab and lobster?

📷️ Age Ing

Word started going around last week that Neptune Restaurant was holding an all you can eat crab and lobster feast, and it’s on for another few days at their restaurants in Coquitlam and Burnaby.

Adults can dine for $88 for crab or $99 for crab and lobster. But there’s a catch: you only have 1.5 hours to eat.

Everyone’s been wondering the same thing: is it worth it?

Overall it was delicious, albeit expensive for one meal for one person $108.90. Even though I hadn't eaten I could barely finish. It's a better deal to go to Yan's for their $48.88 lobster on noodles and then order whatever else you want with the ability to take home leftovers.

I’m very lobster happily full and so happy for this delicious feast!

Food was really good! … Service was EXCELLENT and friendly… Definitely worth trying. Would I go back again? Not within the time span of the promo…

Squish Juicery is now open in Coquitlam Centre

Not to kill your appetite. But last week I went to one of my favourite local restaurants for a bday dinner. All was going well until we saw a mouse running across the dining room floor.

Management have said they’re looking into this and talking to their pest control service. But…

If you saw a mouse at one of your favourite local restaurants, would you go back?
