I'd be interested to know what an "expensive" craft beer goes for over there. Here in the US they can be anywhere from $7 to $11 or so. It's pretty out of control. Some of them are just so good though. I've actually never been to a waffle house, but I have always wanted to try one. We used to have one in the town where I live, but they closed it down a while ago. Oddly enough, I feel like nothing is really new over here either. You have a new bar open up and they have basically the same menu as every other bar. The same five specialty burgers, a club, blt, Rueben, turkey rueben, Italian steak, philly.... You get the idea.

enjoy those Reubens bro. That is one thing that nobody over here seems to be able to do correctly and it is always disappointing when you get one. something about the bread and cheese mostly but I am not even 100% sure what they are doing wrong. I had one at a smokehouse that a Canadian owned and it had coleslaw on it instead of kraut. When I asked him why that was he said "that is how they are made in Canada" and I just said "well Canada is wrong."

I don't even know if he was telling the truth, his food is substandard on a lot of other fronts as well so he may have just made that up.

As far as expensive beers are concerned here it is just relative to the economy that I currently live in. A cheap lager that is widely available like a Bud would be for you, is normally around $1 in a bar. A craft beer at a well-known brewery will set you back normally around $6. So look at how much a bud costs and then multiply is by 6.

There are local craft breweries that sell the beers for far less, like $2, but they are not the same beers and they are something that is extremely local and it will tasted completely different from one batch to the next. That's not rally my cup a tea either because if it is that different each time I kind of wonder about QC in a general sense.

Oh yeah, that is quite a hike in price. I would have expected maybe $3 for a craft beer, but $6 isn't too far off from what you pay here. I've actually never had a Reuben in my life. I think for the longest time I had it in my head that I didn't like sauerkraut, so I just never bothered to try one. They do make sandwiches called "Rachels" that are basically a Reuben, but with Turkey instead of the corned beef or pastrami, and coleslaw instead of kraut. I've also seen hot pastrami sandwiches with coleslaw, so your Canadian guy might not be entirely wrong. I really need to try an actual Reuben now that I know I don't hate sauerkraut as much as I thought I did.

dude, try the Reuben. I would be incredibly surprised if you didn't like it. The sourkraut isn't overpowering because of all the other flavorst that are going on in there. On the rare instance that I find myself in the States I always tell whoever I am visiting that a reuben is something I definitely want to have while i am there. Even a bad reuben in the states is much better than a good one over here.

I will make it a point to do that sometime. I have a feeling it is something I would enjoy. I mean what's not to like!
