BBQ Weekend - THRILLSVILLE!

[write-light.livejournal.com]

Tunnel BBQ, Windsor, Ontario, 1986  (via jbcurio)

1. Enough food to feed a family.
2. "Exiting the Tunnel" & "Detroit River" do not belong in ads for food
3. "97 feet to the right"
4. "Newly expanded dining area"


5. DOGS PLAYING POKER!
I rest my case. Vintage Ads roadtrip and dinner meet-up!

This is wrong in so many ways...bless you for posting it.

Who would have thought that "Dogs Playing Poker" would be a point of pride???

I'm trying to remember if this was the restaurant that we'd heard was supposed to be great, and which ended up being so awful we were served recycled buns and coleslaw, and leaving before the meal was ever delivered. I'm not sure if it would have ever come if we'd stayed. Checking online reviews, a lot say it used to be great, but isn't so much now, which seems to go with that.

Either the ad or the restaurant needs better lighting. It sort of looks as if they're dining in someone's basement (or dungeon).

Looks like they're eating on a card table.

I agree, the tunnel doesn't evoke fine eats to me.

However, there was a restaurant in Windsor called Top Hat. My dad would take me there for lunch, back when all customs agents at the border would only ask you "Name, citizenship, what's your reason for going to Canada today?" They had such good food. It closed about four years ago, now there is a BK in its place.
I still miss it!
