Tim vids make me very happy in my limited time to relax. He is so knowledgeable, witty and courteous and I like the different perspectives of his friends and family. I love how he knows the servers' names and bigs them up
You're the epitome of a gentleman. Thank for your thoughtful reviews. You have enormous patience and class dealing with some comments. All credit to you!
Hi Tim, like you I’m a Canadian but I live in Orange County, CA. I’ve been watching you since COVID, I truly believe you are a frankly a good person. Love your videos. Thank you.
Hello Nicole and Tim! Always so nice to see Nicole and her beautiful smile enjoying a meal with you. I'm so disappointed in myself for not traveling to Vancouver BC when i was living in Washington state. But next best thing is being able to enjoying the travels and food adventures with Tim😊😊😊 p.s. Hello James
Thank you so much for reaching out! I love visiting Washington state and go there from time to time… hope you enjoyed the time when you were there. All the best to you and yours.🙂
Hello Mr Tim Lee What the best was to cook a steak that melts in your mouth. You always say I hope you all are having a great week, but are you having a great week. I never cooked steak before. Enjoy your meal with your Nicole Xx, stay safe and healthy. ❤
Never in a million years could I imagine calling The Keg a cheap option! I've never been, but I've known family and such to go for special occasions. After getting AYCE and buffets for less; do you ever feel scammed at places like this or finer dining with even smaller portions? Also shoutout to Nicole for giving you the cut of fat, I need a friend like her! 😭💕🙌
Love Nicole. She really gets you and is a definite foodie too. A definite plus on your wonderful channel. I always eat food watching you, which, for me, can be a big deal sometimes ❤
Hi Tim and Nicole, it is nice to see you having company for dinner. Good to have James join you and Nicole for the 2nd steak dinner to help you eat all that food. That meat looked so delicious. Keep the sides, just eat the meat. You actually ate a banana!❤❤❤
I agree with the overall assessment of Hy's being the best. If you're not eating out all the time it's better to splurge and then maybe not go out as often. My favorite part of the video was "Nicole with the obligatory pictures"... said the man with the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LoL. I’m the last person that should be commenting on Nicole’s pictures 😁. As nice as it was, it’s still kinda difficult to match the experience at Peter Lugar’s (the one in Vegas)
Some of the comments are harsh. I would say any dinner I don't have to cook is fine dining😂😂😂😂. You rock Tim. Please remember we all don't judge harshly. You are the best RUclipsr to me.❤
Tim!!! Your sense of humor was really rocking tonight!! 😂. Sorry...made me laugh... Obi Wan James, you're our only hope! Soft and crusty like some people. You really had me laughing 😄. You look great btw. My apologies for making fun, but your face when eating durian or bananas...just fabulous!! ❤ Thank you again for taking us along to try those fantastic restaurants.
I can't hep but smile hearing a toast given to your friend Lois, who I just recently heard about when watching some older videos. (Yes bc we share the same name bc its not really such a popular 1st name..). It would be fun to trade places with her and share a meal with Tim Lee!! Perhaps no one would notice its not the same Lois!! Lol ... 😊🌿
Aloha you two ! What an amazing Steakhouse showdown ! Yes Hy's High-End Steak House is totally delicious !!! It's number 1 ... in Hawaii also ! Mahalo for sharing Tim !!!
The service at the first restaurant was TOO FAST. They needed to give you some time to eat your appetizers before bringing the burger. Just sayin'. Also those crab cakes... awful, you were very generous.The prime rib, mashies and mushrooms looked AMAZING, though! The high end place????? Bucket list meal, for sure! I am so glad you included Nicole again. She is simply lovely, and a great friend I am sure.
Agreed!! Something is going to be cold by the time you get to it...either the soup, the crab cakes, the burger....and for the prices you pay to eat out, you should be able to eat everything at the proper temps. And also agree, those crab cakes looked terrible.
Well, it’s interesting. Many things came out very very fast, and then other things came out really really slow. So on average, I guess it balances out.😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo you're always so kind...in your actions and thoughts...this is a very diplomatic way of looking at things LOL. But, it was kind of funny that you got appys in the daylight and by the time the entrees came out, you were sitting in the dark 😂
I miss the salad bar the Keg used to have years ago was included with your meal 🇨🇦lol you didn’t have a 🇨🇦Cesar drink 🇺🇸don’t know that haha like Danny😂
Great show, great interaction all 3 of you with your reviews very good to know you dislike zucchini or was it the spices? Thank you for your great demeanor and how humorous 😅you are makes us laugh.
It was quite a nice experience, although it is quite expensive. Even at the casual place it is not cheap. But it’s nice to splurge and get to connect with friends once in a while.
Tim I wish I could take you for a tour of Toronto. My favourite Keg location is the Keg Mansion in Toronto. It is an historic building that used to be owned by the Massey family (at the time the most powerful family). There was a murder there of one of the heirs after he somehow attack/ approached a young servant. Apparently there is also a ghost living there - so many stories (not just steak)! 😳🥩🔪
That sounds like quite an interesting location! Nothing accompanies a great steak dinner than some supernatural visitors. Really hoping to get to Toronto soon.
It's nice to see you with company enjoying your meal Hello from Las Vegas! The onion soup looks amazing, Bunger looks good too ,The steak was cooked perfect your making me hungry LOL...!
Tim this was a good video. I’m new to your channel and really like your content. Nicole was a great dinner companion. Really enjoyed her opinion on the food. You might consider getting your guests a clip on microphone so we can hear them better. At times it was hard to hear what Nicole was saying. Both places the food looked great.
Welcome back Tim thank you so much for sharing another video! May I ask what you do for a living I’ve been curious for a while since you get to travel so much? I travel a lot in the us im a truck driver lol but never been out of the states
It would be amazing to see all the states! my profession is in the software/tech industry. it does get a bit hectic balancing and getting to share these experiences, but it’s a lot of fun. Hope you’re staying well and stay safe on the roads!
Tim, I feel like when people dine at a ateakhouse, it is also very important that the sides be just as good as the appetizers, the entree itself and the dessert. Even the coffee should be flavorful to top off the meal. It would be great if you could rate those as well. Not to be too critical, but passable is not a helpful rating to me. If I am going to pay the high price of a steakhouse, I prefer ratings on a scale of 1 to 5 or 10 to help me decide whether the restaurant is worth the trip. Thanks!
W o w what a fancy restaurant in 🇨🇦 so beautiful foods. I miss eat the steak I haven’t eat in a long time same with ribs. Thank you so much, Tim Lee 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You know, I didn’t realize that both restaurants were part of the same company. Very enjoyable to get to connect with friends, but it did hit the wallet and the waistline a bit
Hello tim great video I really enjoy when you go casual dining once in a while to change things up. Honestly I might have sent those crab cakes back to the kitchen they looked a little to charred to me😢 prime rib looked scrumptious though
Thanks Calvin… yeah, it’s nice to get to eat with friends and a bit of a change from time to time. Oh, the crab cakes.. they must have had an off night in the kitchen as we discovered later off camera that Nicole’s piece was all black on the bottom.
We like the atmosphere of the first restaurant and the ice cream pie looked delicious.. My family started laughing when you double-dipped the soup before passing it to Nicole. You have to had seen The double-dip Seinfeld episode to understand the reference. 😂
The Keg is popular in the greater Toronto area. The burgers, full size and slider, you can get in local grocery stores. Love their whiskey sour…good bar mix. The food is good. Billy Miner ice cream pie thing is popular.
32:52 Lady on the left wondering 'why don't he put the camera down and eat like a normal person. Does he have to go all Ed Tv on his dinner? He looks like Stuart Smalley' lol
Pass on both, especially the higher priced restaurant. All cheap ingredients, sold at a price that does not fit. As for the more expensive side, I'm a Texas steakhouse woman. No frills. Just a great slab of grass-fed beef and a nice baked potato. However, you are always humble and a joy to watch, Tim. Thank you!
Thank you so much and unfortunately, we just don’t have steakhouses like the ones in Texas here… really enjoyed all the great places in Texas when I was there
Hi! Been watching you for a bit but never commented until now. Our local favorite here near Whidbey is the only Keg in North Washington in Lynnwood WA. Always consistently good. Not cheap but very reliable.
Thank you so much for reaching out! Great to know that you’re in the Washington state area and love visiting there all the time. I have never been to the keg in the US before but would love to give it a try. It’s not cheap for sure.
Tim, you are my OG food blogger! Seems like yesterday when I first visited/subscribed and found so many others like...Jolly, Mark W., Strickly/Mike C., and of course Hot Ones after RUclips recognized my views for recommendations. One problem though..I have to watch with a plate of food or it's torture! LOL. From Indy w/food love
I would have loved to take the rest of the banana foster 😅 The meats looked better at the high end as well. And I agree the sides are always good. I love mushrooms. And could have eaten most of it myself. Actually all the sides looked fantastic.
As long as it's steak and grilled over wood or charcoal I;m eating it. I dont frequent Peter Luger's or Ruth Chris because they use hot ovens/gas no wood or charcoal. Their gas broilers average 850-1500 degrees which give the meat a nice crust but it just cant beat that real smoked hardwood flavor. As always enjoyed the video very much!
I have to respectfully disagree for some categories and here are my reasons why. Just a bit of a background I regularly eat at both establishments and in different locations in Canada. 1. The keg's primerib was compared to Hy's steak which could be a mismatch. Have to compare steak with steak. For value, I feel the steak's at the keg are better than hy's based on the price and value alone. 2. Dessert I will agree with the keg trumps Hy's. 3. The bread at Hy's is definitely better. Overall I do agree with your assessment of the keg vs. hy's, one for causal and the other for special occasions, however, I believe for special occasions there are MUCH better high end restaurants than Hy's. The Keg however, I feel is one of the better value chains for steak in Canada and tastes great.
I dont think anyone would complain if you finished chewing and swallow your food before speaking. No rush giving your thoughts with your mouth full. Take your time 🤗
Tim, Great experiences. Cave steak looked to be perfectly done. Tasty. Hy's the tartar looked interesting, Oysters gosh fantastic, burger nicely prepared. Hy's steak platter simply amazing. Bad day to start a Fast. Best
Tim, Fasting for a couple of days maybe a week. In my younger years, 5 decades ago, I fasted often. 30 days was my longest. Then from 21 days to a week. Eventually just a weekend per month. Worked out insanely. Was in great condition. Have a Great Day. Best
@@TimLeeLetsGo That's for all. I know the Keg & Hy's. At Keg just this week and 5 people overindulged and tax & tip $500 range. Keg valuewise one of the best chains you'll ever find. Garlic Mashed & double baked Potatoes are great, prime rib very good as are all their steaks.
Hello Tim, Kim and I are visiting Argentina for several months and enjoying (as usual :) your latest wonderful foodie episode. Now that we have a perminant home in Jardin Colombia we're enjoying taking time to visit as much of south America as possible and experience all the diverse foods :) We definitely think you must visit Buenos Aires and experience the Amazing meats here. If you do please drop us a note. God Bless, James and Kim ❤
Greetings to you, James and Kim! Hope you’re keeping well and I remember it is a lot of meat when I got a chance to visit South America for studies. Would love to make another trip back again and hoping you get to come here as well!
250 dollars is expensive ..jeeez , I am Norwegian and everything in my country is extremely expensive and even I think that is very expensive. a little bit misleading with the prices in your video tile here Tim , the first meal was split between 2 and was 125 pr person , the second meal split by 3 was 333 pr person
@@danielschear556 ...not really. Just not the 'high' point of "high-end", but definitely a bit above casual dining...please. Perhaps you're so beyond middle and lower class you've forgotten the rest of the world. 🌿
Tim, I love the face you make eating banana. My choice would be the casual steak house. I couldn't believe the high end served your cheese bread in tin foil.
It’s always nice to connect over a steak dinner. Really enjoyable and the cheese toast at the higher end place was delicious…. lol, interesting way to present it though for sure.
Yeah, I think they had an off night in the kitchen because when we go there before, it was quite good. Nicole’s portion was actually very burnt on the other side, so it wasn’t edible. If we were eating, normally, we would have commented about that
Hi Nicole, Tim and James...was disappointed in the crab cakes 😢 ...all the food was amazing....the high-end steakhouse...even though all the apps was delicious looking, for me it's a pass....the steaks looked delicious, but too cooked for me 😋🤣....glad you enjoyed yourselves...have a great weekend ❤😊
Thanks Jade! Yeah, we were a bits surprised at the crab cakes as well… It was a nice experience and great to get to eat together! Wishing you a great week as well!
Steak house number 2 I never had steak tar tar looks good! The burger is to well done for me, All the steaks look amazing my favorite the Rib Eye but I do love a good steak Diane, Tim Lee I love all your videos thank you
Hallo, nice to see you Nicole. Love your smile. The second Restaurant is mich better than first. Looks good. Enjoy . Tanks Tim for the beautiful Video. Like those. Take a bis hugh. ❤
Just couldn’t help it… It was more for the table and it was their specialty. I think by the end we were also full that those bananas were too full to enjoy it.
From my experience although Hy's is more expensive it is nowhere near 4x the price of the Keg. I think you didn't really compare similar orders. Also you should check out Jacobs in Toronto
Tim vids make me very happy in my limited time to relax. He is so knowledgeable, witty and courteous and I like the different perspectives of his friends and family. I love how he knows the servers' names and bigs them up
Thank you so much 🙏
He's funny too. 😂
You're the epitome of a gentleman. Thank for your thoughtful reviews. You have enormous patience and class dealing with some comments. All credit to you!
Aww you are so nice sharing food with your neighbors, that was so sweet of you ❤
We were getting into a bit of trouble… It was just way too much food😉
Hi Tim, like you I’m a Canadian but I live in Orange County, CA. I’ve been watching you since COVID, I truly believe you are a frankly a good person. Love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind comment!🙏. Very grateful to get to visit and share these experiences with everyone here!

The glistening on those steaks (high-end)! Yum!
😋
Holy crap.. they mark their bottles of wines up almost FIVE TIMES?? You can get that bottle of 2013 Eisele for $475 online!
What awesome meals you had! Your extravagant meal at Hy's Steak House was fit for two kings and a queen! Nicely done, Tim 👍
I'm so happy that you finish everything on you plate. That is wonderful.
We were surprised we were able to do so!
Skyline was beautiful in the evening 😍
Gonna be a great 1 as usual Tim! You rock with your videos
Thank you 🙏
Nicole was lovely, very warm, talkative and smiley in the 1st video. That was very nice to see.
I totally agree! And most of our friends would agree also especially on the talkative part😁
What a fantastic video Tim and company …I felt as if I was at the table with you …I think I tasted the food 🤤 bravo
Tim has upped it a notch --- fine dining is the way to go good sir. Thank you for another great video. @LetsGoTimLee
Thank you so much 🙏
Hello Mr Tim Lee
What the best was to cook a steak that melts in your mouth.
You always say I hope you all are having a great week, but are you having a great week. I never cooked steak before.
Enjoy your meal with your Nicole
Xx, stay safe and healthy. ❤
Thank you so much. I do like it when the steak is grilled on the BBQ. Nothing like a nice crusty char 😋
A lil late but would never miss a great video , your the best Tim 😊❤!
Thank you so much🙏
Both restaurants look amazing.
It was a good but pricey experience… steak/beef anywhere is getting quite expensive!
Tim after watching your videos for years I never expected it would be a zucchini carpaccio that would be the first dish to leave you speechless! 😂🤣
I couldn’t believe the zucchini carpaccio made it to the table as well and I was there!
Never in a million years could I imagine calling The Keg a cheap option! I've never been, but I've known family and such to go for special occasions. After getting AYCE and buffets for less; do you ever feel scammed at places like this or finer dining with even smaller portions?
Also shoutout to Nicole for giving you the cut of fat, I need a friend like her! 😭💕🙌
French onion soup looked incredible but the crab cakes definitely looked burnt 😊
It was a nice evening… The crab cakes were a bit of a surprise as Nicole’s portion was all black at the bottom as we discovered afterwards.
Love Nicole. She really gets you and is a definite foodie too. A definite plus on your wonderful channel. I always eat food watching you, which, for me, can be a big deal sometimes ❤
Nicole has a beautiful smile
I think you made her day! I will pass it along
Hi Tim and Nicole, it is nice to see you having company for dinner. Good to have James join you and Nicole for the 2nd steak dinner to help you eat all that food. That meat looked so delicious. Keep the sides, just eat the meat. You actually ate a banana!❤❤❤
It was so nice to have the company of Nicole and James…especially with their much needed appetites 😁
So excellent, as usual. You are such a needed watch to change my daily concerns.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! All the best to you and yours!
I agree with the overall assessment of Hy's being the best. If you're not eating out all the time it's better to splurge and then maybe not go out as often.
My favorite part of the video was "Nicole with the obligatory pictures"... said the man with the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LoL. I’m the last person that should be commenting on Nicole’s pictures 😁. As nice as it was, it’s still kinda difficult to match the experience at Peter Lugar’s (the one in Vegas)
Steak mashed potatoes and nice cold beer can't go wrong
That’s what we were missing… that cold beer!
great video , your face when eating the zucchine was priceless ,thank you for sharing
Fun video to watch!! Looks delicious
Thank you so so much🙏
Timmy I know your Tummy is aching. It's been a few days 😂
Give us more
I thought the keg was so beautiful, great ambience, views and looked so
Comfy with those fires. That won for me ! 😊
The keg is always a nice place to connect over a nice meal... not cheap by any means, but very enjoyable
Sunday fun day with Tim AND Nicole. Thank you, two, for a great video. I love how proper Nicole is. Oh, James, too. Hey James.❤
Some of the comments are harsh. I would say any dinner I don't have to cook is fine dining😂😂😂😂. You rock Tim. Please remember we all don't judge harshly. You are the best RUclipsr to me.❤
It was great to get to eat with Nicole and James. A little bit of a different video and quite enjoyable and very filling 😉
Buzzed tim is my favorite tim
I love watching him get more and more relaxed yet still maintain decorum when he drops something or misspeaks. So funny, so real. And endearing. ❤️
🤫
Your face when you took a bite into the zucchini was priceless 😂😂
Till now, I still have no idea why James ordered the zucchini carpaccio😉
Tim!!! Your sense of humor was really rocking tonight!! 😂. Sorry...made me laugh... Obi Wan James, you're our only hope! Soft and crusty like some people. You really had me laughing 😄. You look great btw. My apologies for making fun, but your face when eating durian or bananas...just fabulous!! ❤ Thank you again for taking us along to try those fantastic restaurants.
Thank you so much… we did put a bit or pressure on James 😁

Great show, great interaction all 3 of you with your reviews very good to know you dislike zucchini or was it the spices? Thank you for your great demeanor and how humorous 😅you are makes us laugh.
lol… thank you so much. It was a great experience. I actually do like zucchini although it’s just a bit different when it’s raw 😉
Meals are looking delicious, can't wait to give them a try 😅
It was quite a nice experience, although it is quite expensive. Even at the casual place it is not cheap. But it’s nice to splurge and get to connect with friends once in a while.

My kind of video - the meats!
I think the Keg unfairly gets a bad rap for being a chain. They’re always consistent with good service
You know, I didn’t realize that both restaurants were part of the same company. Very enjoyable to get to connect with friends, but it did hit the wallet and the waistline a bit
But Tim, you don't like bananas!!
Hello tim great video I really enjoy when you go casual dining once in a while to change things up. Honestly I might have sent those crab cakes back to the kitchen they looked a little to charred to me😢 prime rib looked scrumptious though

They’ve got you covered😉

It’s always the prime rib and ice cream pie for me😋
I love it when your friends join you, especially when they are engaging. Nicole is beautiful, and James is sweet. God bless you all ❤
Really blessed to get to eat with them as well 🙂
Tim, Great experiences. Cave steak looked to be perfectly done. Tasty. Hy's the tartar looked interesting, Oysters gosh fantastic, burger nicely prepared. Hy's steak platter simply amazing. Bad day to start a Fast. Best
Good on you for starting a fast! How long are you going for? By the way, the oysters were everybody’s favorite!
Tim, Fasting for a couple of days maybe a week. In my younger years, 5 decades ago, I fasted often. 30 days was my longest. Then from 21 days to a week. Eventually just a weekend per month. Worked out insanely. Was in great condition. Have a Great Day. Best
Not me rewinding back to 13:50 to try and hear what the guy wanted a bite of 😅
Thank you Tim....They closed the Keg here in Bellingham...I miss it
$1000 steak is way high but $250 isn’t cheap either
No, definitely not cheap at all! I was prepared that even at a casual place, it would be quite pricey as well
@@TimLeeLetsGo That's for all. I know the Keg & Hy's. At Keg just this week and 5 people overindulged and tax & tip $500 range. Keg valuewise one of the best chains you'll ever find. Garlic Mashed & double baked Potatoes are great, prime rib very good as are all their steaks.
Hello Tim, Kim and I are visiting Argentina for several months and enjoying (as usual :) your latest wonderful foodie episode. Now that we have a perminant home in Jardin Colombia we're enjoying taking time to visit as much of south America as possible and experience all the diverse foods :) We definitely think you must visit Buenos Aires and experience the Amazing meats here. If you do please drop us a note. God Bless, James and Kim ❤
Greetings to you, James and Kim! Hope you’re keeping well and I remember it is a lot of meat when I got a chance to visit South America for studies. Would love to make another trip back again and hoping you get to come here as well!
I have one word for everything yum ❤
I would second that!
250 dollars is expensive ..jeeez , I am Norwegian and everything in my country is extremely expensive and even I think that is very expensive. a little bit misleading with the prices in your video tile here Tim , the first meal was split between 2 and was 125 pr person , the second meal split by 3 was 333 pr person
Next time invite me for Keg. Also did you know about the off-the-menu Kega Mega?
$250 is casual?
Yes, it is.🙎
A LOT of food. Not a simple meal by any means.
@@danielschear556 ...not really. Just not the 'high' point of "high-end", but definitely a bit above casual dining...please. Perhaps you're so beyond middle and lower class you've forgotten the rest of the world. 🌿
@@Changelingheart I'd certainly like to "forget the rest of the world."😉
Yup
Tim, love your videos..Please send cooler weather, rain to south Texas..lol
No more steak houses in Vancouver. Both of those were so nice!
It’s always nice to get to have a meal with some friends especially over some steaks… but once in a while only as it gets pretty pricey 😉
Tim, I love the face you make eating banana. My choice would be the casual steak house. I couldn't believe the high end served your cheese bread in tin foil.
Toss up between the banana face and the zucchini face. Hysterical!
It’s always nice to connect over a steak dinner. Really enjoyable and the cheese toast at the higher end place was delicious…. lol, interesting way to present it though for sure.
You hate bananas!!! 😂what are you doing Dear??!😵💫
Yeah, it was really more for the table. It’s their specialty so we thought we’d give it a try. Aside from personal taste, it was OK.
You’re too kind, Tim. I would’ve sent the crab cakes back. Nicole barely touched it.
Yeah, I think they had an off night in the kitchen because when we go there before, it was quite good. Nicole’s portion was actually very burnt on the other side, so it wasn’t edible. If we were eating, normally, we would have commented about that
I really like Nicole. Her personality is very pleasant just like Tim's.
Thank you so much and will make sure to pass it along to her! You would’ve made her day🙂
Hi Nicole, Tim and James...was disappointed in the crab cakes 😢 ...all the food was amazing....the high-end steakhouse...even though all the apps was delicious looking, for me it's a pass....the steaks looked delicious, but too cooked for me 😋🤣....glad you enjoyed yourselves...have a great weekend ❤😊
Ty The service and wine was great 🎉
Thanks Jade! Yeah, we were a bits surprised at the crab cakes as well… It was a nice experience and great to get to eat together! Wishing you a great week as well!
Steak house number 2 I never had steak tar tar looks good! The burger is to well done for me, All the steaks look amazing my favorite the Rib Eye but I do love a good steak Diane, Tim Lee I love all your videos thank you
Hallo, nice to see you Nicole. Love your smile. The second Restaurant is mich better than first. Looks good. Enjoy . Tanks Tim for the beautiful Video. Like those. Take a bis hugh. ❤
Thank you so much! Really enjoyable and yeah, the second place was quite nice though very pricey
It all looks so good especially at Hy's. All things considered Prime Rib is not steak. A more apt comparison may have been to order steak at the Keg.
so amazing!
It was quite the experience… Nice to get to experience it but definitely once in a blue moon😉
The steaks look fantastic. Were they dry aged?
I believe one of them was dry aged
The burger is cooked perfectly
I liked both burgers…not overly rare and not too well done.
Back in the day starter prime rib and desert was 15.95 oh the memories
Even then, growing up, the keg was too expensive for us. It was Mr. Mikes or Sizzler😁
I knew you don’t care for bananas but I love how you try them anyways ❤
Just couldn’t help it… It was more for the table and it was their specialty. I think by the end we were also full that those bananas were too full to enjoy it.
The keg are the burgers fresh or their frozen they sell in grocery stores?
They tasted a lot better than the frozen grocery store ones with the same name… I could be just in my head as well
From my experience although Hy's is more expensive it is nowhere near 4x the price of the Keg. I think you didn't really compare similar orders. Also you should check out Jacobs in Toronto
more Nicole and James in your videos please. 😊
Thank you so much and will pass that along to them as well. I’m sure you’ve made their day
40 dollar costco steak ( 5 steaks)🎉🎉
I’m there!!! Steaks and the $1.50 hotdogs… 😋
