2013-02-21 - The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro has landed in Halifax
I was fortunate enough to be invited to the "The Works" VIP opening on Wednesday night in Halifax. What an awesome job they did with the construction. We were in the empty space a few short month\'s ago with the floor jack hammered up and a few hanging light bulbs and nothing more.
The food we had was fantastic and if you like onion rings... I MEAN IF YOU LOVE ONION RINGS, these were the best I have ever had. I can\'t believe someone in Halifax did not know how to make them like that. Anyway, You have just got to check out the newest franchise in Halifax. And by the way. don\'t expect to leave hungry... you may have to save dessert for later on in the evening. Congratulations Jody & Al on your new venture.
