The Flying Pig on Wharf Street is gone and there's a restaurant called JR Slims replacing it. Their website: https://jrslims.ca/home/

This well-established turnkey restaurant has a strong and loyal following resulting in the Tartan Toque voted Best Wings in Victoria 7 of the past 8 years. Full kitchen and systems in place. Great location at Stadacona Centre with lots of onsite parking for visitors. This business has many years of sales growth and has successfully shifted sales to pick up orders in addition to its eat-in offering during COVID. Stadacona Centre offers an exceptional location to service the desirable markets of Fairfield, Fernwood, Oak Bay and beyond.

 

$200k

A turkey is for Christmas not life.

Gordon Head would be a great area for a turnkey turkey restaurant. Let's rev up the hipster name generator and see what we get...

 

"Turner & Keys Turnkey Turkey on Torquay"

[Mike K.]

Turkey Head in Oak Bay is more apropos, no?

[aastra]

Sure, they could have a franchise there. It would be a great one for the misplaced business names file:

 

"Turner & Keys Turnkey Turkey on Torquay at Turkey Head"

 

Fran Tarkenton could be involved in the promotions.

I'll stop there. I know some forumers complain about our plays on words being too byzantine.*

 

Besides, I'm getting sleepy.**

 

*turkey reference

**another turkey reference

[Greg]

I think we can make an exception for byzantine, that shows legit skillz.

[Nparker]

All this turkey talk sounds like a lot of Istanbul to me.

^Come on, don't spoil a good thing. You ottoman up.

Wow, that's two compliments in a week. Yes, it took more than 16,000 posts to get here, but I'm still feeling pretty satisfied right about now.

OK, i bought a bunch of pierogies at CooknPan, how do you cook them?

 

Just boil them, for how long? 

 

Or pan fry them?

...I bought a bunch of pierogies at CooknPan, how do you cook them? Just boil them, for how long? Or pan fry them?

I usually do a little of both. If frozen, I give them a few minutes in boiling water, drain them and then fry them a couple more minutes/side in a hot frying pan with a bit of oil.

[Mike K.]

Yup. That’s the way to do it. Make sure to add some oil to the water when you’re boiling them.

Fry up some bacon and chopped onion as you’re boiling them then fry up the pierogis with the bacon and onions. You can add butter to the mix if there’s not much fat to the bacon, or if you’re not frying bacon then fry with two square inches of butter.

Then you serve them with sour cream as a dipping ‘sauce.’ Careful on the salt. Add it when you’re ready to eat as some bacon brands are a bit salty to start with, or if your butter is salted.

Not sure what to make of this, but there’s a stand-up banner advertising Bubby Rose Bakery and Cafe inside the door of the former David’s Tea at Johnson and Government.
