When we were in Nova Scotia (this Spring) my wife had Poutine. She really liked it.

they BRIEFLY had Poutine on the US menu, likely right after they went big into the Canadian Market.

I'm still mourning the closure of the A&W nearest us.

One Teen Burger Combo down. Urp.

That’s a totally different operation in Canada compared to the US though. Their logos are different, plus the A&W root beer brand has its own logo. The US A&W chain uses the older soft drink logo.

One more Teen Buger Combo down, this one with onion rings substituted instead of fries for an extra $1.50.

Yesterday it was the Cheddar Bacon Uncle Burger Combo with Root Beer in a frosted mug. If you never had a A&W root beer in a frosted mug, put it on your bucket list!

Did you buy the mug? I know it’s a different company, but I have an A&W 100 year anniversary (2019) mug. It has a stylized drawing of the original A&W in Lodi, California. A lot of the American A&W locations have “scratch made” root beer where the syrup is made onsite using sucrose. Maybe with a separate tap.

I’ve been to some bars that had frozen mugs, but the root beer was typically bottled.

They sometimes have sales of the mugs, no, in this case you leave the mug. There is more sacrilege in that I drink their Root Beer Zero.

Here’s the mug. Got it at a combination KFC/A&W. But it’s sorta kinda from the same tree, although it’s a bit different.

Suddenly huge urge to head over border.

Please forward actual flyer. Thanks.

It's surprising how much better it tastes in a frosted mug.

I used to live off the $5 double buddy cheeseburger.

It should look like it came out of a freezer.

Or the Canadian version.

Stop in at any Sally Ann and ask if they have any more of the paper flyers!

I would point out that A&W Canada is a very different company. They lean on their history starting in 1956 with the first restaurant in Winnipeg. I believe they have all rights to the name in Canada, and license beverages to Coca-Cola. Any comparisons with the brand name outside of Canada aren’t necessarily meaningful. They did however adopt the bear mascot. So some of the marketing might be coordinated.

Good morning. Today it’s two Bacon & Egger sandwiches. Urp.

Some years ago, Jr was very into some heavy-duty endurance sports and activities - distance running, distance cycling, cyclocross, hiking, etc.

He and two buddies went to A&W with the intention of eating the entire Burger Family in one sitting.

Two of the three did it.

 

[Snagglefoot]

Chubby Chicken combo with onion rings instead of fries. A&W onion rings up here can be squeezed in half to dip them in the cups of ketchup. The obligatory frosted mug of root beer is included.

Looks good, like decadent fast food done right.
