| - Peter's is a Calgary institution and if you don't know it... well, why the hell not?
I try really REALLY hard to stop here at least once whenever I visit my hometown (sadly, didn't make it my last trip), and I often get cravings when I'm back home in Vancouver which really isn't helpful.
Surprisingly, I'm not really in it for the milkshakes. WAY too big and thick for my taste (though I won't hesitate to order a Coke float to get my ice cream fix instead and it's nice to know that if I really wanted a marshmallow/raspberry/mint milkshake I could get it. Not that I ever would). What are the cravings for then? Why, the burgers! One of the only fast food places I know of who use bbq sauce on their burgers and that makes them sooo good. Plus, I find it really weird and awesome that a "single" burger actually consists of 1.5 patties. Hmmm.
But my main vice? Dude, the onion rings. There's only one size and it's huge, so plan on sharing with a friend or 2, but holy crap they're good. And this is coming from someone who DOESN'T. EVER. eat onions. The only way, in fact, is in ring form, specifically from Peter's. So that's saying something.
Plan on being in a very long line (both for the drive-through and standing at the order window) especially in the summer on a nice day or night, but they've got their system down pat so it really doesn't ever take too long to get through it. And last I knew, they only take cash or debit, so plan on that.
