Red Robin is becoming a lot like Swiss Chalet. There used to be one on every corner and now there's only a handful still open. One of the Red Robin's in Vancouver actually closed down and became a Swiss Chalet. Now that Swiss Chalet is also closed down. There's the rotting hulk of a Red Robin on Stony Plain Road near where I live in Edmonton. I've been here since 2018 and it's been closed since before I arrived.

Swiss Chalet is dwindling down and disappearing?? That would be a travesty.
 
I will do my part. I have about $300 worth in Swiss Chalet and Harveys currency. That should get them up and running again to become the powerhouse they once were.

A friend gets them from work somehow and sometimes gives me ULTIMATE DINING GIFT CARDS. This time he had thousands worth and he does not eat any of that shit. So he needed to find people to give them to. He gave me $300 worth. So basically I need to find the courage to eat a meal at Swiss Chalet or Harveys multiple times over. I may need to re-gift some of it because the task is DAUNTING. The few times I eat out I do NOT want to waste them on eating at these locations.

Haha, you are fucking crazy. I guess I'm messaging with Rockefeller and Carnegie heirs here.

Swiss Chalet is a good meal by all standards. Harveys is great fast food. I mean, I guess when you're an amateur chef and cooking exotic meals for yourself, you get a bit of a chip, but I'm just some regular dude.

At the rate I eat out it would take me a decade to go through these gift cards! Especially if I continue to occasionally eat out at places that I actually deeply enjoy.

With that said I will give Swiss Chalet a shot and report back with a full review. It has been 10-15 years since I last ate there. I hope I enjoy it!

Actually, that's something that makes anything, including potatoes, inedible.

Just the smell of blue cheese makes me want to vomit, and the taste honestly is what I imagine as close as we can get to the flavor of dogshit.

my reaction is not that violent, but I'm not a fan of the blue cheese. Don't know how, the Danish side of the family loves that shit.

How can you figure out how to churn the points from 81 credit cards a year but not a few hundred worth of delicious food?

Yeah, I don't fuck with blue either. Most of the strong/soft french cheeses are outside of my palate. Parm & that whole family (romano, etc) is brilliant, I have all sorts of time for the Swiss cheese family (emmantaler, gruyere), any aged cheddar, fresh mozz (di buffalo, fior di late, etc) , mexican fresh cheeses (queso fresco, queso oaxaca, etc), sheep or goat feta, gouda, manchego....all good stuff.
