I Take Willy Dogs Food For Granted

 

Actual picture of me after eating Willy Dogs.  Face needs to be disguised due to being covered with bbq sauce.  

Let's face it.  I love Willy Dogs.  I have loved it since it was established in 2018.  Some would say I have been stalking Willy Dogs since 2018.  If you ask me why I love Willy Dogs, I will tell you twenty different things.  Actually, I was recommending Willy Dogs to a friend last week when he told me that I forgot to mention the food.  I realize I have been taking the food for granted.  It is time to talk about the food.  

The burgers are amazing.  Nothing like what you would get in a chain restaurant.  Actual home made hamburger patties, each one unique but all delicious.  My husband loves the chicken burger. I wish I could say I have tried it but he has never given me a bite.  I would like to try it but it is a hard enough decision for me deciding between the regular Soko Burger, the Super Soko Burger, of the Kolbassa Smokie that I just can't add another choice to the mix.  

Ah, the Soko Burger.  A meal in itself.  Too much for one person yet I can inhale it in under 30 seconds.  I don't know what it is but that burger is magic.  Last week, I saw a photo of someone eating the Super Soko Burger while dining in the Deer Lodge Curling Club.  I can't tell you how much I admire this individual's bravery.  I could never eat a Soko Burger in public.  There is so much to it that I often it separated in many layers with a knife and fork.  Yeah, I gotta eat that thing in the privacy of my own home.  

Personally, I think the fried onions contributes to the magic.  How I am able to get perfectly fried onions just exactly the way I want them every single time in amazing.  I have been tempted to order a side order of fried onions many times because they are so good but the reality is that all the portions are large so I get more than enough fried onions on my burger or smokie.  

Thursday night is our night to order in Willy Dogs.  We pretend that we are ordering for a family of 4 but it is just the two of us.  We order too much but can't help it.  I can't pass up the fries and gravy.  My hubbie raves about the onion rings.  The gravy is wonderful.  While chain restaurants are struggling to provide gravy due to supply chain issues, this gravy is always available and with all the goodness of home-made.  We go through the same ritual every time we order.  We say this is too much food and we will have left-overs for sure for lunch and maybe even for dinner tomorrow, Sometimes we laugh after we say that but usually our mouths are full and we can't laugh.  There are never left-overs.  My husband has to unbutton his pants afterwards.  I am more of a pro than he is as I know to change into my pyjamas before eating.  

Like I said, I always debate between the Soko Burger and the Kolbassa Smokie.  The Soko Burger is fabulous and a portion of every one sold goes to a fabulous charity.  But, I am Ukrainian and this Kolbassa Smokie is simply the best and I am one of the experts when it comes to kolbassa.  Basically, I can taste the quality, or lack there of, in a kolbassa.  This one is of the highest quality.  And, Willy is the BBQ king.  Do you know how hard it is to grill a kolbassa and still have it be really juicy.  Well, it is something that I have never been able to accomplish.  It is amazing.  

Recently, I tried the honey garlic wings.  Well, I have tried his wings before but not the honey garlic flavour.  The reason is that honey garlic is my favourite but I was scared to try it at Willy Dogs.  You see, I had stopped ordering honey garlic wings at restaurants.  No one could make them the way I like it.  I like more garlic than honey and while I expect to have sauce on my face, I like to be able to find the chicken in the sauce.  Well, I don't know why I was afraid.  It's Wily Dogs, after all, the honey garlic wings were perfect.  The right balance or sweet and garlic and perfectly sauced.  

Yeah, I have been taking Willy's food for granted and haven't expressed how much I appreciate it.  Life is too short to take any relationship for granted.  Including your relationship with your comfort food.  

Peace Out.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
