Yesterday I forgot to update the Lunch Blog. I went on a bit of a trek up to First Canadian Place Ed seemed to think that the Bourbon St. Grill in the food court would be top notch. Well I think I have mixed feelings on that. First I am going to post a quote from the Bourbon St Grill blurb on the First Canadian Place website.
“At Bourbon St. Grill we take extreme pride in serving all our valued customers, with quick service and tasty Cajun cuisine. You can find Bourbon St. Grill in food courts all over North America with over 12 locations in Canada already! So come, give us a visit, we`re already prepared with free samples of our "World Famous Chicken". What are you waiting for? Come experience the fast service and taste how quality food should be now!”
Yes I agree I could see the pride in the faces of the employees working there. The Quick service though was so quick that I barely had a chance to see the pride. HOLY MOLY they were fast! They took my order before I reached the counter and I was passed to employee to employee I probably dealt with 4 of the employees there in under 30 seconds. This caused me grief because I did not have enough time to have a good solid look at what they were offering. I was so hurried that my responses were quick and precise based on what I know they have. Not necessarily on what I wanted. This brings me to the tasty part. I ordered 2 meat and home fries. The home fries were very tasty as usual. The meat on the other hand was decent I had the bourbon chicken and the blackened chicken. The Blackened chicken was very bland and the bourbon chicken was ok. I didn’t get a chance to ask for any free samples I would say that if I was going to ask for free samples going over at high noon is not a good idea. Which I guess would explain why there are 12 employees working behind a counter that can probably on fit 4 max. Also I did notice any authentic Cajun’s working there. Kind of bummed about that. I’m not really sure what a Cajun looks like.
