Got an email this morning from my buddy Rob Hilditch of the Joey's Only group of companies, telling me he is growing a moustache (Texas handlebar with a soul patch I was later informed) to raise money for Prostate Cancer research. So after I stopped shaking with laughter and found my Blackberry on the floorboard of my truck, (all the while trying not to drive off the road) I fired up the laptop and donated $50 bucks to this physically impossible, yet very good cause on behalf of Rob's efforts.
Now we are all aware that Prostate Cancer is not a laughing matter (Rob's face with a handle bar is an entirely different kettle of fish) and this is something that has touched both Rob and I in our families. I would love to be able to join Rob in his quest to raise as much money as possible, but I have 2 problems,
1) As most of you know I have a pretty healthy Goatee and no issues with its growth.
2) I would consider shaving my head to raise money for the cause, but my head doesn't share the same growth initiative that my face has.
Hence the reason for my blog today, as I am relegated to being a booster for my buddy Rob and his great plan to raise some money for research and eventually a cure for this vicious disease. Please take a minute and click on the Logo below, donate whatever you can afford and help my buddy Rob be the biggest fundraiser of the bunch!!
Cheers!

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 75 White AVENUE in Bragg Creek. **LAND, BLDG AND BUSINESS AND REDEVELOPMENT SITE IS FOR SALE**
This is a multifaceted listing of a rare commercial property in Bragg Creek, Alberta. There is a fully functioning, high quality restaurant operation with an impeccable reputation ready for new ownership, as well as the potential down the road to redevelop the site with a larger commercial use such as a boutique hotel. The long term potential of this property is excellent, as it sits very close to the approved Gateway Village Development, a 12.6 acre master-planned mixed use resort style project. This beautiful hamlet has long been an escape for people to enjoy a weekend away from the city, a place to enjoy the outdoors and great food. The local area is known for its hiking, biking, camping, horseback riding and its quaint shops and restaurants. The tourism business has always been extremely vibrant in the area and it growing every year, with more and more people making the trip to Bragg Creek.
The Bavarian Inn Restaurant in Bragg Creek is For Sale, located a short drive from the world famous Kananaskis Country recreational area and up against the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, it is a legendary staple in the Southern Alberta dining scene. Since the 1970’s the BAV TAV, also known as the Bavarian Inn Restaurant has been renowned for its service and consistent quality dining experience.
The owners have continually maintained a solid reputation as a place you go for a casual dinner with the family or to book a party and celebrate a special occasion. The building and property are a gem and very well maintained, featuring a 3000sqft(+/-) purpose built restaurant with a dining room and a separate freshly renovated lounge/bar area. The wonderful wrap around patio serves both the dining room and the lounge. The kitchen is well laid out with lots of prep area and the equipment is in excellent repair, with a large walk-in cooler.
The dining room has a warm and welcoming feel, with a great mix of table sizes that are well spaced for a comfortable dining environment. Lots of windows give you great natural light during the day for lunches and a wood burning fireplace completes the ambiance on the chilly nights. There are a few other exciting parts of this opportunity, like the potential to expand on the property if you chose to. The full basement could be built out as an event space or some other sort of venue or business, or as a living space for the owner. This is an opportunity that you really need to see to fully appreciate the potential of the property and business. Please call to arrange a private tour so you can see it for yourself. 
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 890 4 AVENUE SW in Calgary. The Street Eatery is a fully licensed, full-service restaurant that opened in early 2016 and offers dine-in, take-out, and delivery. The Street Eatery’s menu consists of small plates, rice bowls, plates, sandwiches and burgers, and salads.
The food is globally inspired street food including Korean, Indian, Vietnamese, and American. The menu is very unique and is designed to appeal to a wide range of diets and preferences, as the menu is approximately 50% plant-based, and has many gluten-free options. Due to the large appeal of The Street Eatery’s menu including its “Street Shakes” and “Vegan Wings”, the restaurant has become a well-known destination. The Street Eatery was voted to have Calgary’s best vegan meal and dessert in 2019.
In November 2019, The Street Eatery launched a “ghost kitchen” delivery and take-out only “modern burger joint” called “Drippin Sauce”. Drippin Sauce’s menu consists of grass-fed beef burgers, Alberta free-run chicken burgers, plant-based burgers, fries, poutine, and milkshakes. This brand has been well received by guests, sales grew 400% during the covid-19 period. The kitchen is well equipped and can serve as an "open kitchen concept", and is fully vented with walk in fridge.
