Yes, as per the wiki:

YYC
Breakfast: ??:?? AM - ??:?? AM; muffins, fruit, yogurt, toast (with various spreads)
Lunch: ~11:30 AM - 1:30 PM; pizza, soup, chilli; Mon beef roast + sides
Dinner: ~4:30 PM - 6:30 PM; skillit, veggies, rice, Chilli, soup
Outside meal times: ???
Alcohol available: 11:00 AM - y:yy PM/AM

I was there this week and this remains status quo.
I guess one of us can update the "Outside meal times" in the wiki - but those chips and dip crap is still the same as it has been for the last two to three years.

One should put „pizza“ in scare quotes, as it just looks similar to pizza.

Some here prefer to call it "glorified cardboard flatbread" in order not to insult the pizza species.

Data point for YVR international:

„Dinner“ started at 16:30. The „live cooking“ station was limited to poke bowls, i.e. a scoop of rice plus some marinated tuna and some seasoning. On the buffet, some chicken, some fish, greasy sweet potato fries and some salads.

Before dinner: chicken stir fry and rice, plus a pasta dish. OK for afternoon.

I agree. It was kind of disgusting that they had a tray with about fifty uncooked „pizzas“ sitting there on the counter, which were moved back into the fridge at 13:28.

Glad you guys had warned us and we had a good breakfast at the hotel. ^

I was just there last Friday and they had scrambled eggs and turkey sausage and fried potatoes which seem to reappear and disappear depending on when I am flying. I was through their at 6 AM and they were serving them then.

If made with a high enough quality tuna, that is delicious. Any chance someone has a picture of this?

Are the poke bowls similar to the yellowfin tuna poke J appetizers?

Just to clarify...

The chips and dips have been the same variety for the last two or three years? Or they have sat there for two or three years? 😁😁😁

I'm curious.

Quality was actually not too bad. My bowl had less tuna than in the picture, but was alright taste-wise.




Just don‘t know what they need the „live cooking“ station for.

Appear interesting. Drive demand and buzz up. Drive cost of goods [given away] to 0.
