Ate at a steakhouse called the Buffalo Grill. Theme? The American West.  :lol: its a chain.  :lol:


Heh, we get US themed chains in Canada, too. Reason: the US is associated with good service and plentiful servings.

We hardly have any Canadian themed restaurants.  But if we did I wonder what they would be associated with? :hmm:

Americans are not really aware of the existence of Canada, for good or bad.   :D

So a Canadian themed restaurant would be a restaurant where most people are not aware of the fact it is Canadian?  The Michael J Fox of restaurants.

I counter-propose Lesley Neilson.  A few people knew Fox was Canadian.  Especially after he did those commercials about stem cell research.

There's dozens and dozens of famous actors who few people recognize as Canadian. 

Fun fact: did you know Lesley Neilson's brother was a long-time Member of Parliament from the Yukon?  I believe he was even deputy-PM at one point.  Whitehorse International Airporrt is named the Eric Neilson Airport in his honour.   :)

Talk is cheap.  I played the Neilson card, let's see you trump it.  :ph34r:

Because they're not all that famous, or because everyone knows they are Canadian?

The latter.  You might as well put Donald Sutherland on your list.

Though it might not be known about D-list celeb Howie Mandel.

Dude in My Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nic Cage. His new movie is This is the End with Seth Rogaine.
