Mr. Mike's Steakhouse

I had forgotten all about Mr. Mike's but I was reading an article on Barkerville and the drive up and the Mr. Mike's in Quesnel was mentioned.  I'm surprised they are such a big chain and have such an extensive menu. They do seem mainly to be in the suburbs and smaller towns.

This looks sort of like their old $1.49 special but I don't recall onion rings or mushrooms. I think it was served with a Caesar rather than just a green salad and of course the baked potato.

When we were going to UBC, a treat was going to Mr. Mike's although the steak wasn't quite so good sometimes. Jim actually complained once and got a whole new dinner. This was after the manager commented that "he had eaten most of it" which he had.  Jim's reply was that he thought it was going to get better.  The manager actually gnawed on a bit of it...this is a true story!  We thought we'd hit the jackpot when he was given a whole new dinner with all the trimmings...ah, those poor student days.

Another treat was buying 50 cent steaks at Paul's Meats in Kits. They weren't too bad really. Good on Paul for having something poor students could afford.
