I just want to take a minute to thank the Alefantis Brothers of The Broken Plate Group of Restaurants for the invite to last Saturday's inaugural Greek Poker Tourny. All of the profits went to benefit the Calgary Hellenic Society's Special Projects Fund.
Now... being a poker virgin, I was a little hesitant to sit down at the tables. But after hearing that the 4th place player had never played before, and had a set of rules in his pocket, I am bound and determined to play next time!
The cast of characters in attendance was a who's who of Calgary restaurant owners, but they shall remain nameless, to protect the identity of those who were supposed to be at work!! LOL!! You know who you were! The food was great and a lot of money was raised for a great cause, I am looking forward to the next one, and yes Vic, I am bringing my wallet and my lack of experience with me!
Cheers!

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 1702 12 STREET NW in Calgary.
This is the perfect opportunity to buy this business and continue with the concept or bring your own idea and do something completely different.
There is a canopy hood fan so you could do pretty much anything that the Landlord will approve. You have thousands of students across the street and you are surrounded by a well established business corridor and lots of residential and hotels.
The space is 660sqft so it is easy to manage and there are 10 seats inside for customers or delivery drivers to sit while they wait for their food orders. Call and set up a tour of this cool little restaurant spot!
