🍽 You're the naan I want

Hey foodies!

Thanksgiving week is great – because of the short week, but also because of the Thanksgiving leftovers. Anyone else have another few days of turkey or just me?

It seems like everyone was talking about Indian food this week, so we’ve got a bunch of that today. Let’s go.

After Red Robin closed their last Burnaby location at the end of last year, the space next to Lougheed Mall has been sitting empty. But not for much longer.

“Embark on a flavourful journey through our Korean Fusion spread, where every bite is a symphony of taste,” they posted on social.
