10 Vanished Restaurants Only True Canadians Remember

Описание: Remember when "going out for dinner" meant more than just a paper bag? 🍔🇨🇦

For generations of Canadians, the weekend didn't start until you were piled into a booth at Mother's or watching the rotisserie chickens turn at the original Swiss Chalet. These weren't just businesses; they were the landmarks of our birthdays, post-hockey celebrations, and late-night adventures.

In this video, we’re counting down the 10 iconic Canadian restaurants that have largely vanished or changed forever:

THE MALL LEGENDS: Why Mr. Green Jeans and those hubcap nachos were the ultimate Toronto reward.

PIZZA & PIXELS: Reliving the frosty mugs and red-checkered tablecloths of Mother's Pizza.

THE CUSTOMIZER: How the original Harvey's experience (before the big buyouts) proved Canadians could do fast food better than anyone.

DINER CULTURE: A tribute to Fran's 24-hour sanctuary and the theatre-row magic of Ed's Warehouse.

BUFFET BLISS: From the salad bar mountains at Ponderosa to the chocolate fountains of Tucker's Marketplace.

We explore why these giants disappeared—from rising urban rents to shifting tastes—and why a "quarter chicken dinner" just doesn't feel the same as it did in 1982.
