| - The Keg is one of my favourite pet peeves so I'm biased here, sorry...
I mean, yeah, a number one steak experts - and so common around that if there's a Canadian Tire or Petro Canada in sight, there must be a Keg nearby.
Seriously, no one must expect quantity converting itself in quality. In all fairness, things go the other way around.
But you know what - I still do believe that maybe once upon a time young and ambitious chef will actually impress the Keg public with some unheard of steaks. And maybe I'll be there that exact moment, and would actually enjoy a wonderfully prepared meat...
Why young? Because I'm yet to see a seasoned master chef working for a chain. I mean, chefs have their professional growth strategy, and cooking standard menu items forever definitely doesn't look aligned with anything seriously desirable.
So for MacLeod Keg, three stars is a good rating. Steak was plain and ordinary. Once again I glanced across the "other plates" part of the menu, trying to imagine how good those may be? Once again I decided not to go for a dessert. Not because I was full, but because the main course price bite way too much from my per diem.
Servers were young, not quite attentive - but polite and friendly when they do notice you. Otherwise, just another Keg. Like another McDonalds, or Tim Hortons. Maybe at the end there's nothing wrong with ordinary things?
But I just want magic to happen. Silly me.
