The King is Dead, the King is Dead! As a former Montrealer this was the best representation of a legitimate greasy spoon in Calgary. Well , that's over.....I was there for the first time in a while and it has been sold. The new owners have no clue what constitutes a smoked meat sandwich and poutine. The only thing that was authentic was the spruce beer! The loyal following will quickly dwindle and this will soon become a subway. Start looking for a new smoke meat joint and prepare for "elevated poutine" instead of the authentic offerings formerly available here. I am so upset that this former institution is on its way to oblivion.
