  • I think the first time that I went to Bookers was maybe 10 years ago... I thought it was GREAT! Sure, in a bit of an edgy neighbourhood downtown but the concept of a 'true' Southern BBQ house really worked for them... think ribs, brisket, chicken and lots of that Bubba Gump shrimp... you know, I'd never even seen a crawdad before I had some there... grits, corn bread... down home true Southern cooking in a big industrial space with picnic tables, red checked table cloths and metal plates and, of course, crab races on Fridays. ...then one day I had the urge for some smokey cooking and key lime pie and EVERYTHING had changed. The new owners got rid of all the kitchy down homie ness and (the horror!) replaced all that unique Southern BBQ food with things like Fettucini Alfredo and Marinara Pizza... there was nare a crab nor crawdad to be found. So with that background I was a bit unexcited to hear that I was meant to go to Bookers for dinner the other night. What I found was new inspiration! Little did I know but the folks who brought us Wild Wood Pub and Dining Room (now sadly gone because of a ghastly clerical error and a 'rhymes with sick' Landlord) are now behind this much slicker and sophisticated Bookers... Sure to become a professional go to spot (think Investment Bankers, Lawyers and Accountants wanting to escape beer in the core.. a bit Soho-esqe) and a favourite for those who are going to be living in the new residential spots immediately there. What I'm especially excited about is that their menu seems to be embracing a lot of what made the old School Bookers work but in a really updated fashion. The smoked BBQ ribs I had were pretty easily some of the best ribs I've ever had in my life (including my own ribs... note to self: need to punch up my ribs a few notches if I'm going to compete). All together, I think this place is sure to be a long term winner, especially as the new Bow River pathway system and river walk starts to bring the forces of light back into the area East of City Hall.
