Here's my Top Chef question(s). - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 20, 13:52 16
- Are Bravo and the Travel Channel sister stations? - amoxy Jan 20, 13:55 9

        PS: There is a tremendous Toy Story 3 reference for the wife in there. -- nm - David Jan 20, 14:09 2
        
        I intend to steal it whenever applicable. -- nm - Diva Jan 20, 14:23
        
        And wholly accurate. - Kim Pine Jan 20, 14:17
    - Food Network failed at that. -- nm - lileve Jan 20, 14:05
  - Nope. Travel Channel is mostly Scripps Networks Interactive (and also Cox Communications). Bravo is NBC Universal. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 20, 13:57
- 1) No. 2) I guess they figure they want to compete with Blais's show on the science channel. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 20, 13:54 5
  - I thought it might be something like that. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 20, 13:58 4
    - The only reason they would give Marcel a show is because Stalin is dead and therefore unavailable. -- nm - David Jan 20, 14:00
    - watch - when he's all by himself - it will be a completely different story - JenBro Jan 20, 13:59 2
      - I think they vastly overrate his potential appeal. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 20, 14:00 1
        
        agreed - science geeks are generally not cooks -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 14:10
A&W is probably the #2 or 3 burger franchise in Canada, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 13:51 21
- It seemed as though DairyQueen would be the #1 franchise in Alberta when I was there -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 14:01 1
  - not for burgers. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 14:03
- I love living near the home of A&W (in Lodi, where Ashlee worked as a roller-skate waitress in high school) - Stephen Jan 20, 14:00 3
  - So, did you guys meet because she tripped and spilled a shake all over your lap? -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 14:01 2
    - heh that would have been odd... - Stephen Jan 20, 14:08 1
      - I suppose "Pics?" is out of the question then -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 14:19
- Thinking back to our time there - I honestly don't remember any other fast food outlets. A&W on the edge of town was it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 20, 13:58 1

      - i just searched on their site - apparently there are 3 within a 5km radius of my house. -- (link) - Andie Jan 20, 13:56 1
        
        It's close, but comparing maps, I think I see more BKs in TO than A&Ws. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 20, 14:04
- yep, it's pretty popular. And I think it's a separate corporate entity from the US one. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 13:52
- We have an A&W drive in. The only problem with it is its friggin pricy for what it is. - TFox Jan 20, 13:52 2
  - their root beer is worth every penny IMHO - better than Barqs, Hires, etc. etc. etc. grew up with it here and we now have to drive 3 hours to see one. -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 14:08 1
    - oh, for sure. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 14:09
