Summer time in The Peg

I've heard it said a 100 times before. The one reason us Winnipegers stay here, and survive our winters, is because it makes you appreciate those great summer days soooo much more, and I believe every word of that to be true, but it doesn't just make the summer better, it also makes the food better!!

There is just something about walking up to a window or a counter on a warm summers day and ordering your favourite burger, or dog, along with a side of chilli fries, and a shake, or a can of pop that comes with those thin white straws, then taking that red plastic tray, or that brown paper bag,which you know has already changed a darker shade of brown on the bottom cuz of all the yummy goodness inside (ya, ya , its the grease, but my way sounds better.lol) over to the picnic table beside the building, or back to your car with the windows down and the sun roof open and digging in and enjoying that perfect meal. Try as you might, sitting in your car in -30 weather with your parka, scarf, mitts and toque on does NOT have the same effect.

So here are a couple of quick suggestions of places that you can go to get that great summer time experience.

VJ's Drive INN on Main st.

Sals on the Provencher bridge

The Dairy Whip on Marion 

Red Boot Drive Inn on Ness ave.

Mrs Mike's on Tache Ave

And of course don't forget about DESSERT!!!!

Banana Boat on Osborne st.

BDI Ice Cream on Jubilee

I know there are many, many more great places in Winnipeg, and if I have left your favourite out, please comment on the bottom of the page or hit me up on Twitter @awat56, and I will definitely make it out there so that we can share your favourite with everyone else.

Enjoy!!
