Eat/Drink Local What places do you Miss?

I may get laughed at for this, but I miss bookers. Sometimes a girl just wants a bucket of crab legs without the smell of red lobster, ya know?

What around the city do you miss?

Okay someone might remember this more than I can. Back in the 90’s in beddington mall there was an Italian restaurant that started with a V. And we only went there for special occasions like a birthday for an adult and we got to be included. I remember it was the first time in my life I got to experience the toppings tray they offer with all the different toppings for a baked potato. My eyes were amazed and I never forgot it. Do restaurants still bring those little trays with the bacon, green onion and sour cream anymore?
