Is there really much of a market for grilled orca?

Apparently not, the orca burger is made with beef.

A 'grillhouse' with only two steaks on the menu, neither of them premium cuts. Odd.

I'm assuming that picture of fish 'n chips at the top of the menu is their one-piece

dinner. Sixteen bucks? That chunk of hali looks to be about the size of a Captain High Liner fish-stick.

This restaurant is an incredible metaphor on the whole Langford vs Victoria debate. Would never fly in downtown.

If it was downtown it would be called "Metaphor". And they'd have a specialty item called "Incredible Metaphor". Maybe a burger or a cocktail. Possibly a salad.

Correction: the specialty drink would be called "Mixed Metaphor".

Could you get a decent baleeni at a pub like that? I'm sure it would cost you a few fins and even then it would still be a fluke. They'd probably have a good selection of Crown Rorqual.

Technically, orcas aren't whales, so it could be called Orca & Whale downtown.

How so? I'd like to hear how downtown doesn't have restaurants that (a) serve burgers or (b) are named after sea life

Edit: I would like to hear more about how there is a supposed "debate" between Langford and Victoria. News to me.

Which is funny, because this is in Colwood :)
