The manager had a employee come and wipe down the booth and he sat there staring at me with anger in his eyes. I was surprised at this behavior toward me as he was an East Indian man and one would think that he would not be discriminating against another human being. He has a job, the Aboriginal man does not in Canada. PS I have never seen them wipe tables there right after others get up and leave. Way to go WENDY'S!

I must confess, it took quite a while for me to get to the Jacket Potato Man. While I love a good baked potato, it doesn't exactly satisfy for a whole meal. However, they do also sell side salads which is a nice feature. The menu is a bit chaotic but has a decent selection. There aren't very many vegetarian choices which is always disappointing but not abnormal. The broccoli-cheese potato wasn't anything particularly special. It really needed more of a sauce to go with it as it was a little dry. The staff also forgot to ask me if I wanted sour cream added before I walked away obviously so that didn't really help either. Pro-tip: the large potato is basically the same size as a regular one so don't bother paying for the up-size. Overall I wasn't too enamoured. There's nothing all that special about the Jacket Potato Man, especially when compared to some of the other places to eat in HUB.

However, after my last visit I doubt I'll be going back as there are other places in Hub Mall to eat with better service. I went there expecting to just get a good, quick, familiar lunch before class. I was waiting in line and the woman in front of me had already ordered, however the cashier kept talking to her about whatever. I was getting annoyed because she expected me to just stand there and wait for them to finish their conversation. I would've even been less annoyed if she rung me in while she talked to the other woman. I don't know if businesses in Hub Mall realize this but most people have classes to get to so they should hurry up. Finally the woman in line turned around and saw me waiting and moved over ( I sense she really didn't want to talk to the cashier). Finally when it was my turn I ordered and when I stood on the side to wait for my food the cashier came to talk to me. All of a sudden she burst into a random story about how she was at her friends apartment last night and that the neighbours were having sex, and it was the awkward kind of sex where the people sound constipated. I tried ignoring her but she kept going on about it. I was just shocked I really couldn't believe she told me that, especially because she hadn't said anything before that (hi, how are you) she just started off with that. Not sure how on earth she thought that was appropriate.

It wasn't that long ago when many people had never tried Korean fried chicken before... Now it's a…read morecravable food item that we can't get enough of. This dish has been around in South Korea since the 70s but it only became mainstream in North America within the last decade or two. Not the same as the fried chicken that we've come to know on this continent - I personally characterize Korean fried chicken as being saucy and spicy (despite there being a range of flavours available). The first time that I ever tried this style of chicken was at Lee House in Edmonton, in fact they were the first place where I ever tried Korean food at all! (It's still my favourite Korean restaurant, anywhere.) Their Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken really changed the game for me and opened my eyes to a whole new level of untapped deliciousness. In 2016 Chef Jake Lee opened the first location of Seoul Fried Chicken, a restaurant specializing exclusively in this amazing dish. I don't think that there was anything else like it in Edmonton at the time. Did you catch his name? Jake Lee is the son of the owner of the aforementioned Lee House. His pedigree in Korean fried chicken was already guaranteed! (In fact, the first SFC location opened in Lee House's old location.) Seoul Fried has now expanded to a second, larger restaurant Downtown which allows for plenty of dine-in seating. (They've also got a spot in Calgary now too!) Featured on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 list for Favourite Take-Out and named Favourite Chicken Restaurant in the Edmonton Journal, SFC has solidified itself as the first and last name in Korean fried chicken in this city. Originally, Seoul Fried Chicken was conceived more as a take-out place. I don't even think that the original location has any seats in it at all. Their pizza boxes full of fried chicken became a solid grab & go staple, their mantra of "everyone loves fried chicken" ringing ever true. However, I loved the idea of a location with an actual dining room and the option to sit down and enjoy the food hot and fresh. I visited the Downtown location on a Saturday evening for this very experience. You'll find them on the 4th Street Promenade, one of the best parts of the city for awesome restaurants. The space is actually quite large, with a hip industrial warehouse type of vibe to it. The urban mural art on the walls (by various artists) are really amazing, especially the gorgeous wave piece by Alixandra Jade, who's work I love all around the city (please come paint my house). The beautiful concrete columns in the center of the room also caught my eye (also painted by Alixandra). It's a very cool space, very young and fresh. To begin, you place your order at the counter with a friendly and helpful staff member. Then you are free to take a seat anywhere that you like. Once your food is ready your name will appear on the screen, alerting you that it's time to get your chicken on. Have I mentioned that Korean fried chicken is messy? Because it really is. The chicken is typically very saucy and everything in the vicinity gets sauced. SFC is aware of this and they have adorned each table with a roll of paper towel. Beyond this, there is a sink area at the back of the room (outside of the washrooms) where you can go to actually wash your hands. This will be necessary. For something to drink, I started my meal with a Jasmine Peach Housemade Beverage ($4.25). This drink, along with the citron blast flavour, are churning away in one of those beverage dispenser machines. You know the ones. Served in a tall cup, I enjoyed this refreshing drink. I thought that the flavour was really unique and I could really taste both the jasmine and peach flavours. A great combination! Perfectly matched to the food as well. Speaking of the food, it's still served in pizza boxes, even if you're dining in. Everything will come packed into the boxes and you kinda just slap them down onto the table and start digging in. There are no plates. It's all very quick and dirty. There are an array of salads and sides to choose from but of course the seven flavours of fried chicken are what you have walked in the door to get. There are also two "Seoul Chicken Sets" available which are a good way to combo a bunch of different items together. We ordered a whole lot of stuff to create a well-rounded SFC feast. I definitely need to branch out and try new things when it comes to the chicken flavours. I've heard that the garlic soy is very good. However, my heart belongs to the SFC BBQ because it's the family recipe, passed down from the patriarch over at Lee House. There's no wrong choice though because each flavour profile is perfection. We ordered the Big Seoul (5pc chicken set with 1/2 salad, side & drink - $16.75) as one of our combos. Honestly, this is amazing value. The amount of stuff that you get for the price is excellent. We chose the SFC OG chicken for this one (crispy, juicy, and seasoned to the bone). You can't go wrong with th
