This place is so corporate. Even the gravy comes with a business card. I visit this place only for 1 reason to keep family peace. It is one of my step-daughter's favourite restaurants, and my wife is pretty partial to it.
So, screwing my courage to the sticking point, a few times a year I venture to Swiss Chalet. What a treat it is to finish the meal and leave. This is not what rotisserie chicken should be.
A quick review of the field would have place the late lamented Kenny Rogers Roasters at the top of the pile of commercial type restaurant. Except Kenny was forced to fold them. Then there was St. Hubert who attempted to conquer Toronto. Now that was good 'dirty' chicken. But alas, they did not last. And more recently the BEST rotisserie chicken was available from Sam's Club, but that too is now gone..gone...gone.
I think that Swiss Chalet must such a degree of influence in the corridors of power in Canada that they are engineering the demise of my favourite rotisserie chicken providers. I think, along with Tim Horton, that they run a parallel government that plies elected officials with intravenous gravy fixes to get their way.
It is not a surprise that the parent company of Swiss Chalet serves a lot of food at Airports. Now they can send their chefs to 'cut their teeth' serving their yummiest gourmet creations, in those venues. I don't know, but I have yet to have had a great airport meal...wait except for Skyline Chili 5 ways in Cincinnati.
And now they are foisting on the unsuspecting hordes, lunches of all you can eat...but thankfully the chicken is not included in that deal! Phew!!!!
Its clean, corporate, staid, dull, noisy, but I go there a few times a year.
