I never heard of Perkins, or had a Hostess cupcake, and it seems like I
didn't miss out.

No, I just checked - California doesn't have any Perkins, and
2pack: Nickerson Farms went out of business a long time ago. It was
a Michigan outfit, something gustav would know.

Gustav would (maybe) like Tim Horton's here in Canada. Good food, good cupcakes and the donuts are melt in your mouth quality.

Prices are good too.

What say you, Chumly?

It's one of the very few "benefits" of the insanely massive immigration of the last 30 years.

Can't comment on cupcakes, except to say they are a popular euphemism for perky breasts. Now if gusta is saying that perky breasts are like eating an old sock, that is a sad state of affairs for him indeed.


Can you send a few of those restaurants over this way Chumly? The restaurants here suck the bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure, but I've eaten enough Dunkin Donuts and Tim Horton's donuts and dunkin donuts wins. I'm very sorry to have to tell you that and the fact the the coffee at dunkins is 100 times better as well.

If I drink Tims coffee, I'll need to see my doc for nerve pills Laughing

Dang. Now I'll have to go through Donut Withdrawals.

No Dunkin in this part of BC.

You're right about the TH coffee. Sometimes it's so thick you can cut it with a knife. Other times it's like parakeet piss.

Don't ask...... Smile

Is there actually Dunkin in Canada? I grew up in the states, which is where I got my addiction.

Not where I live. Which is out in the bush.

Maybe there's a Dunkin in the Big City of Vancouver but I haven't seen one. There's a lot of US franchises sprouting in BC, though, so maybe we'll get lucky.

(Personally I hope not....I'd like to see less US chain stores in Canada.....) Cool

Yeah, I hear ya, but if they insist on bringing just one over this way, I hope it's planted somewhere in my area Laughing

Tim's is too big here and it seems that many people like the jet fuel, so Dunkins would probably be like drinking water for them. They'd never last!

They only come in round lots of 10,000 restaurants / 50,000 immigrants at a time, with all the attendant pollution, overcrowding, environmental degradation, traffic jams, noise, etc that go with it.

Hey cupcake, are you sure that cheap tasty restaurant food is worth the ruination of your peaceful rural lifestyle?

Well, I can't understand why I can't have both. Is it a rule that we can only get crap food in rural restaurants?

Hell, it's bad enough where I'd welcome a McDonnalds within a 15 minute driving range.

We have a Pizza Delight and I've been here for almost 8 years waiting for the delight.
