Cactus also puts the "creole" butter on their blackened chicken, Earls doesn't.

As for sides, Earls does the warm potato salad, coleslaw. Cactus does the seasonal veg and mashed potatoes.

I find the Cactus version is slightly sweet, where as the Earls version is less sweet, more salty/spice.

They're both good, the butter on the Cactus version is best, I prefer the Earls sides though.

Recipe if anyone is curious:

Why did I click on this thread again at 2AM? Now I'm fucking starving.

:okay:

No offence to resident chef westo, but say what you want about cactus, they have the best tasting menu overall for a chain restaurant and are incredibly consistent across locations. I take clients out for meals fairly often and they always wanna go to cactus. It’s crazy when I’m doing expenses. I always try to support local, myself, but when you’re arranging meetings on the fly I swear 75% of the time whoever I’m talking to suggests cactus. I don’t think their hiring tactics hurt business.. :ifyouknow:

Their lemongrass noodle salad is a nice herby dish for $23.75 and is my current go-to. I add a ramekin of serranos to kick it up a notch.

If someone knows a place with a better poké bowl, lemme know. Theirs is quite good.

$18.50 for the white boy prawn crunch roll though BrokeBack

I always just go to the keg. Value to meat ratio can’t be beat with a 48’dollsr big ass slab of prime rib

Not as fancy as cactus but the food is better. Fuck the clients.

punkwax 10-07-2023 08:57 AM

I am not a fan of the Keg, myself. Worst sides ever.

I do agree their prime rib is good. That escargot though :sweetjesus:

Razor Ramon HG 10-07-2023 09:00 AM

I actually prefer the steak at Cactus. I usually order the Creole Steak and Prawns. Fuck, I love the creole butter.

Badhobz 10-07-2023 09:22 AM

I like their twice baked potato and their sautéed mushrooms pair nicely with prime rib.

fliptuner 10-07-2023 03:58 PM

^ exactly what I get.

Helps that everytime we go, it's someone's "birthday" and the pie splits nicely between the 3 of us

Has anyone imported a car from Japan recently and know what the costs were on top of the purchase price? ie taxes, broker fees, shipping, etc.

Mind you, since COVID, labour, costs (and esp rent) has been extremely destructive for our restaurant industry, and people's spending habits have changed as well. So I am really not sure how much longer that description will be valid for.

Little late to the Ramen party but has anyone tried this place on Nanaimo Street? Described as authentic Japanese food cart style. Tatchannoodle

I'm currently in highschool and about to start an apprenticeship program offered by my school, by the end I'll be able t9 get my level 1. I have a huge passion for cooking and I've loved working in my schools cafeteria for the time that I have been.

My concern Is if I'll actually be able to make a career out of this, the wages don't seem great and the hours seem long, as well, I've heard many terrible things about the industry too. I want to be able to make enough money to live comfortably and be able to save but I feel like that won't be possible with how little It seems I'll be making...

westopher 10-08-2023 08:46 AM

I didn't go to culinary school, but I wish I had.

My siblings tried it.

They mentioned to me not to expect restaurant quality ramen. It's very basic and were disappointed as the hype set high expectations, so keep that in mind. It's ok to try once but their availability or opening hours is hit and miss.

Anyone got a fog machine I can borrow Oct 20th?

Haven't tried but like many have seen it all over SM. People call me a foody but I hate that term I just simply like eating and trying stuff. Imo at least 80 - 90% of new hyped places end up being avg or bad so I almost never buy into it during the hype. I may try it a year or 2 from now if it's still around.

Yup, current as of 2 weeks ago.

$3400 landed.

Add 12% tax and 6.1% duty once here + OOP inspection fee + couple hundred for Canadian broker fee.

bcrdukes 10-09-2023 10:01 AM

Does duty apply to all years?

Slightly off topic, but how would it work for a Canadian car that's made it's way to the US and brought back to Canada? Would that be tax, another hit on duty and all other fees, or just everything minus duty? Thanks in advance.
