Does anyone know when the Papa Johns on Tillicum opens (technically 306 Burnside Rd W)? I know sometime in December, but I have a coupon that's gonna expire and I'm too far away from the others to bother. lol.

Google is saying January...
Ya, I saw that yesterday after I posted. There was a sign physically there at one point that said December, but I haven't been over in a while, and assume that Google is being updated by the owners/operators, so I'm inclined to believe that.

Greg Hayes, the affable restaurateur behind some of Victoria’s most successful dining establishments over the past half century, is calling it a career.
“I’m looking forward to waking up in the morning and saying: ‘I think I’m going to sleep some more,’ ” says the co-owner of Cafe Brio.
Hayes set up and operated the Oak Bay Marina Restaurant when it underwent a complete redesign, and later opened the highly successful Herald Street Cafe when nobody wanted the derelict buildings on that street.
_________________________________________
After 27 years, however, Hayes, 74, and Marcolini, 72, are selling the business to chef Sam Harris and bartender Vincent Vanderheide in a deal expected to be complete in January.
Harris and Vanderheide have decades of experience in their fields and last worked together opening Boom + Batten on the Inner Harbour.
“For us, we’ve always operated Cafe Brio like it’s friends coming to our house for dinner … we’re here to greet you, feed you and you know, have some fun,” said Hayes.

Harris has worked in several luxury hotels and resorts during his career, including the Laurel Point and Bishop’s in Vancouver, and most recently helped to open Agrius, the Courtenay Room and Boom + Batten.
Added Vanderheide, who tended bar at the Empress Hotel for five years and earlier Canoe: “We want to keep the same familiar, friendly vibe that’s so important to the success of the business. It’s why people love to come here.”
Hayes’ career in the industry dates to 1971, when he started as a dishwasher and moved up to busboy and waiter at the Keg and Cleaver. He went on to Little Denmark in Bastion Square, the old Oak Bay Beach Hotel and Chateau Victoria before the Oak Bay Marina and Herald Street Cafe.
Legend.

The best of all locally focused magazines. Indispensable for following the Victoria food and restaurant scene. I would have gladly payed for it. Perhaps someone will come to the rescue or, at least, others like Jam can expand their restaurant coverage.

Birks you mean?
It really irks me when people make that mistake. It pushes me right to the brink.

i'm assuming that means the one inside the Bay Centre food court would close then.

As far as fast food goes A&W is one of the better ones. It was my first job. Mozza burgers are nostalgic for me.
American tourists will probably want to try an exotic Canadian fast food chain when they bus up there on their cruise.

It’s possible, but then it’s also the only burger joint up there, giving it a unique advantage.
There's another A&W across the street in the mall.

Are we saying A&W in the US is markedly different from in Canada? I admit I've never eaten at an American location but I thought they were basically the same except for some of the Canadian quirks re: theming.
