    Of all the videos you made that I've seen, that was the most eye appealing food . Not one thing I would change on the meals you ordered😊 I'm like you Cindy I love me a good cordon bleau. That broccoli 🥦 was so green and fresh looking. Even the baked potato looked scrumptious. That chicken sandwich of David had a lot of bacon and toppings, and the fries didn't disappoint either. And now to talk about that dessert, wow that was just unbelievable, Ii would come back just for that. I've never saw a video that made me so jealous that I wasn't sitting in a chair at your table lol. As always God Bless 🇺🇸🙏

    Wow! You guys are on a roll! Yet another winner! Going sort of in order... I really liked that menu. Not only saw a lot of things I like, but saw a few things not usually on a menu. Like a drink I had for the first time at a retirement party a long-ago former employer had for a piece of equipment. Does that tell you how beloved it was? We had the party at the home of our IT Director and his girlfriend. Lots of good food and good friends. Anyways, our Director of Marketing brings in a grocery bag full of different ingredients. And, on that bitterly cold January night he introduced several of us to a drink that bartenders hate because it's so complex to make. And the name...! On one of my post-divorce birthdays, my girlfriend of the era took me out for supper at one of our favorite places, J. Gilberts. Bitterly cold night with snow coming down had enough to cause sensible people to slow down. But, not hard enough to discourage a night out. As Leeanne drove my Hummer in the snow to get used to it (she would be my Designated Driver) as she hated driving it, she asked me what I wanted. I mentioned that drink. Her response cracked me up! (I'll leave it to conjecture...!) When our server came to our table, I again broke-up in laughter! I just couldn't order it! Our server was a very attractive young lady. She finally looks at my girlfriend who says, "My husband-to-be would like a Sex on the Beach" That "husband-to-be" stopped my laughter fast! Then I noticed the devilish grin on her face! Regarding the food... Everything you had looked excellent. This time, I would've had what Cindy ordered. I love a good Chicken Cordon Bleu. There used to be this hole in the wall in Old Montreal called "Les Filles du Roy" that served the best Chicken Cordon Bleu I've ever had. Instead of ham like in yours, Cindy, this place used loin bacon. Or, what's seen in the U.S. as "Canadian Bacon" or Canadian Style Bacon". Their Supreme Sauce looked as good as that at Shakers. When we would go, we'd usually make it part of a weekend shopping trip. (Clothes were dirt cheap along Rue Ste. Catharine.) We'd check into the hotel, get dressed-up (It was that kind of a place.) and take the Metro Driving in Old Montreal is not for the timid! And, parking is a nightmare. (We also soon discovered that while I had about 85% fluency at the time, I "drive in English"! ) "Les Filles" also had another specialty that I miss as I rarely see it on menus, Chicken Kiev. Have you ever had it? It's a boneless chicken breast like Chicken Cordon Bleu. But, stuffed with herbed butter and chives. Congrats on yet another great video that brought back a lot of good memories. God Bless!

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Месяц назад

      The menu is extensive. There are so many delicious options on the menu that it is often hard to decide what to get. I'm just glad that I found a place that actually knows how to fix chicken cordon bleu. The supreme sauce is where most places lose it. This chicken cordon bleu was perfectly prepared.
      You always have the most interesting stories. So glad that this video was able to bring back so many fond memories for you. I know you would enjoy dining here. Hope you are having a good weekend.

    Shakers indeed has some of the best food available!

    The menu was so extensive that it would take me awhile to decide.
    David, fooled me by not getting a burger and onion rings.
    Cindy, I know you like grilled chicken and salad and broccoli.
