American tries Canadian CHICKEN Restaurant Swiss Chalet

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- I invited my American friend to Canada to try Swiss Chalet, a famous rotisserie chicken restaurant chain in Canada, beloved by millions! He had eaten it 20 years ago when they still had locations in the united states, but he doesn’t remember much. I wanted to see if it brought back memories tasting that unique chalet sauce, and if he likes the chicken. Also is there anything comparable to it in the USA?

I could have chugged the chalet sauce but I didn’t wanna… Also, is the bread thing weird or no???
Joseph DeBenedictis Not at all, unless I’m weird too 🤷♀️
If its what I think it is, closing the roll back up like you didn't cut it after buttering it then I don't think it's weird at all, I do it too. I've been a subscriber for about 3 months now since my interest has really peaked in Canada! 🍁 I was subscribed bed to your friend as well and didn't even know 😂 good video. Or it could be the above then dipping it half way in the sauce?
I’m Canadian and dip everything into the chalet sauce so that’s not weird to me 😅 it’s weird if you don’t. Unfortunately the Swiss chalet by my place is not as good as it use to be so I don’t get it that often. They don’t even sell Shirley temples anymore so I defiantly need to make a trip to a different location.
Not dipping your bread in chalet sauce, or spaghetti sauce/soup/any liquid of choice for that matter is the truly weird thing. Bread is the perfect vessel for liquids with destination stomach.
Not weird AT ALL. I'm not a huge fan of the sauce so I do it with their gravy instead. Yum!
Joseph.... Like a true Canadian hero.... Dips the bread into chalet sauce.
I mean, wasn't bread invented to absorb sauces?!?!
Yep for sure, he butters his bun then dips it in his sauce! What’s odd about that.....yummy
You gotta take it a step up, order that extra sauce, when your meal comes immediately rip the bun up and put it in the sauce and leave it until you’re done everything else. It’s like chalet dessert!
Bread is an edible dish cloth. Always used to pre clean dishes
non Canadian here, still i would do that. strictly buttered bread even.
I also put some fries in my bread before dipping.
I'm from Buffalo, the last time I had Swiss Chalet was in Hamilton before seeing the Tragically Hip in 2016 on their farewell tour, the last of my 50+ Hip shows #RIPGordie (I think this makes me an honorary Canadian)
Scott wilson haha. Only if you spell honourary with a u!
Your welcome up here any time.
Your welcome up here any time.
Close for sure
They're from my hometown (and where I still live). Went to the same high school as The Hip. Was in the same year as John (a.k.a. "Johnny") Fay.
We live in Buffalo. It's only 20 minutes away to the Rainbow Bridge to Canada and another 10 minutes to Swiss Chalet on Lundy's Lane. we go there quite often since they no longer have Swiss Chalet in Buffalo. The wait staff as well as the Customs Officers at the bridge say that it is very common for U.S. residents to cross over to Canada to get our Swiss Chalet fix! LOVE IT!
There was one downtown Buffalo, would go with my Mom in the 60s and the last one was on Niagara Falls Blvd. It is still good up there in Canada. Now we are left swimming in Fried Chicken everywhere. Boring.
We cross at the Peace Bridge and head to Cheektowaga for the galleria and Olive Garden. I'd kill to have Olive Garden in Canada but a 40 minute drive isn't that bad. Now you guys have Chick Fil A too which I'm happy about because my boyfriend of 6 years lives in Georgia and I love their waffle fries! My mom works in Buffalo so all her coworkers asked her to bring over the chalet sauce Lays when they were a thing. I can't stand chalet sauce though haha
Swiss Chalet was a must during Festive Meal.. love the Lindor Lindt, but wish they would bring back the Toblerone
As an employee of Swiss Chalet here's a secret 👀 in late June they will be doing quarter chicken dinner for $6.50 again for 3 days 🤷🏻♂️ your welcome
Really!?!? I remember them doing that last year. I thought it was only a one off thing.
@@mattmax11 lol ya they are trying it again to try n make up for last time they weren't prepared for the amount of ppl
Will they be making the food not terrible?
*you're*
My welcome?
The chemistry between you and Jason is great and I get lots of laughs watching you guys!
I made my wife try S.C. on our honeymoon in Toronto. She said the sauce was weird. Ironically we're divorced now lol
😂
yeah, that's a no-go......lol
she waited until after the ceremony to reveal her biggest flaw ... how dastardly!
St-Hubert sauce is better
I'd divorce her too after that
A little history about the Canadian rotisserie chicken scene...In the 40s a chicken farmer in rural Quebec heard of a Swiss style chicken being served in Montreal. Chalet BBQ on Sherbrooke and Decarie is still serving hundreds a day. Line ups out the door on weekends. The chicken farmer crafted an oven in his barn and started serving Au Coq chicken. His brother got in on the action and opened up Benny's chicken. Both chain stores are still doing well with over 30 locations all over the island and beyond.
St.Hubert chicken opened their first store in 1951, where else, on St Hubert street and Beaubien, in Montreal. George B. Sukornyk, Harvey's owner, opened up his version in 1954 in downtown Toronto, Swiss Chalet. (Geez, I wonder how he came up with that name???) There are hundreds of restaurants across Canada that serve the classic quarter chicken with sauce and fries. There's even a spice blend, Montreal Chicken Seasoning, sold by McCormick.
My Mom died when I was 12, my Dad a big tough street cop from Hamilton used to take there for dinner at least 3-4 times a week. It was awesome, until my Grandma started giving my Dad cooking lessons and we only went there once every other week. Thanks for nothing Grandma.
The perfect revenge...threaten to take her there tomorrow😂jk.
Stay safe healthy and happy brah🙂

Used to go with my grandparents (big treat to get a piece of pie). Best was on grampa's birthday, where they sang for him "50-60-75, we're just glad you're still alive...happy birthday..." best ever.
So buttering your bread, and then dipping it in the sauce? Doesn't everyone do that?
Sure, between sips out of the sauce container in the other hand
Everyone has to do that
You're doing it wrong. You smush the bun around in the chicken grease on your plate, then you butter it, then you dip it in the gravy. No calories go to waste.
Sauce, then ketchup. Gives it a slight BBQ sauce flavour.
I won't eat bread without the butter. Bread and butter with left over gravy is my favorite desert
(hence I boycott Subway)
As a Canadian I personally only go to Swiss chalet for that white bun and chalet sauce to dip it into. Great way to put a smile on someone’s face.
Is the “weird” bread thing buttering the roll then closing it back up? Lots of people cut it in half, butter it, then eat each half separately. I don’t find the Chalet sauce dip to be weird because I’m Canadian and that’s the true way of our people 😂
I do both, but sometimes just tare half way, then smack some butter in it an close it.
Nathaniel McPherson 1. Slice bun in half 2. Add chicken and fries to bottom half 3. Add sauce 4. Add top half of bun to make sandwich 5. Eat
Roman I I do the same but I don’t cut in half.. I make a pocket and stuff that bitch.
Definitely stuff it with chicken and gravy
@@romani7637 exactly correct
Great video guys. I enjoy watching them. Keep them coming. Swiss Chalet is one of my favorite spots. Ya gotta love that dipping sauce. Put that shyte on everything and drink it as well. Awesomeness eh
Best fries in the world. I don't understand why they don't get hyped more.
@Wanupgurl I literally stop in Sudbury every chance I get, just to eat at Deluxe.
@True North sorry I missed read your comment, I'm sorry or misinterpreted I mean. Didn't mean to be rude . I feel terrible so I deleted my comments
@True North sundbury is a nice city we have lots of lakes and stuff up here and deluxe is good. I haven't had, it in ages but it's still my favorite place. Thanks for forgiving me. Have a great day.
I would choose chalet fries over NY fries I think...personal choice. Deluxe fries are also one of my favourites.
@@mikerouse6004 mike are you from sudbury?
Your guys' friendship is so wholesome.
Swiss Chalet is our weekly spot and no we are not yet part of the older generation eating dinner at 4:30 lol.
You butter your bread/bun before dunking in the chalet sauce as does any proper Canadian!
Its actually a little known law you requires you to do so.
Great video once again, keep up the awesome content! Cheers from Arnprior!
In your review you forgot to add
Excellent service from an amazing waitress ✅
#mamaofthewaitress
I always dunk the bun in the Swiss Chalet sauce! Who doesn't do that? To not dip the bun in the sauce would be the weird thing ! keep up the great videos.
@Lola Montez Sort of but with a unique blend of spices in it that sets it apart from any other gravy you likely ever have had. It is REALLY good with roasted chicken. You can buy online the gravy/sauce in packets so you can try it outside of Canada. You just add water to the powder in the packet and heat on a stove until it thickens. is super easy.
Lola Montez its bbq sauce mixed with chicken broth so it’s thinner. You can also order gravy if you prefer. The sauce is love it or leave it kinda thing.
@@lynnstlaurent6789 I would NOT call it BBQ sauce thinned with chicken broth at all sorry but it is a totally different kind of sauce. It is not a sweet tasting sauce at all. It is a savory sauce.
I was your server!! Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves!!! :)
Desirae Huntley OMG! Thank you for tolerating us!! You were great. Sorry I blurred you out, I didn’t want any trouble 😂. I’m glad you found this!! Can you tell me what town we were in again?? We were driving through on our way to Montreal so we forgot where it was!
Joseph DeBenedictis it was Kingston Ontario!! You guys were awesome😊 one of my coworkers watches all your videos and saw this and showed all of us!!
Desirae Huntley cool beans
I remember getting a Swiss Chalet quarter chicken dinner delivered in Montreal for $1.69 back in the 60's. I have lived in New Zealand now for 20 years and I miss Swiss Chalet the most. They have good ribs too.
Little bit of chicken in that roll would have made it perfect.
And their Roast beef if also pretty damn good
roast beef is now off the menu
I do the exact same thing as you Joseph. I dip my bun/dinner roll into the chalet sauce. My sister and nephews will hollow out the roll, stuff it with fries and chicken, pour chalet sauce into it and then eat it.
your sis and nephew are AWESOME and I'm trying this technique next time I'm at Swiss Chalet. ps, awesome reply, you rock
what i usually do is carve out a small 1 inch crevice on the top of the bun. then i hollow the inside. the i sand and buffer the interior, to create a denser surface area for when the sauce enters the crevice. then i secure the sides of the roll with metal brackets and attach the other side to the table so the unit is stabilized. after securing the bread i pour the sauce into the crevice on the top of the roll. then i think about my regrets in life. then i eat the bread.
tootalltygerlily Oh boy, I can't believe my sister and I didn't think of that over the 45 years we have been going there since we were kids. Great idea!
my family has always had swiss chalet as first option when going out for dinner, never ever gets old
I am old enough to remember that in the early days Swiss Chalet's menu was on a paper placemat with around 6 selections. Now the menu is a novel.
I also remember when you could get two quarter white meals for under $10.
Same with Tim Horton's. Just coffee and donuts only when I was a kid.
Peter Newton Yes, I remember that too, come to think of it. It was better and simpler that way. Remember the lemon finger bowls?
Actually, Swiss Chalet is not the only rotisserie chicken chain in Canada, because in Quebec and parts of Eastern Ontario and in New-Brunswick, you have St-Hubert BBQ, so named because the first restaurant was on St-Hubert street in Montreal. I remember that first restaurant (when I was a young nipper back in the 60s) and going there was very special!
SWISS CHALET is sooo good! Amazing fries 😍 Tip: Cut your bun in half completely, butter each half generously and eat each half separately to extend dipping deliciousness 👍👍👍
Thank you for the information you butter bread and dip in the sauce. Blessings to you and your family, form a Canadian working in USA
Can you please do a video on Canadian Kraft Dinner VS American Kraft Mac and Cheese???? Or a trip to White Castle would be awesome for us Canadians who never get to experience it!
Randy West From Michigan USA 🇺🇲 United States of America 🇺🇲 Love ❤Swiss Chalet Canada Chicken Restaurant in Windsor, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
Cut, butter and dip! My boyfriend is from Canada. He moved here to Iowa where I've always lived almost 12 years ago. I've heard so much about Swiss Chalet from him, but I haven't been to Canada yet, so I've never had it. I need it, everything looks so yummy!
When I first moved to Canada I couldn't stand the sauce, now I chug it when I get the opportunity.
I didn't like it as a kid. Now I think I drink it like it's coffee or water.
i haven't had it since i was a kid.. maybe i'll like it now.. 😅🍗
It's so goooood
SAME!
drown your fries in sauce.
Swiss Chalet is top teir ! Its all about the quarter/half chickens !! They sell they're own gravy at most groceries stores too
Simple topics, but the videos are so well made and very entertaining!
You should've got the pecan pie! Hands down the best pecan pie ever. The spinach dip is a much better app.
Next time ask for “Chalet Poutine”, it’s fries slathered in chalet sauce with cheese curds. Absolutely amazing
Your supposed to put chicken in the bread too. Then it’s a dipped Sammy.
I’ve been ordering the double leg combo the last few times I’ve been to Swiss chalet.
You guys have the best chemistry.... really enjoy the content and energy. Nice work gentlemen!
I'm also a southern ontario boy. Born and raised. Feel like you and I are almost identical at times. I had the exact same childhood with going to swiss chalet and ordering shirley temples when I was like 10 was a super special occasion thing. Brings back so many memories watching this
I love chicken.
Swiss Chalet is good chicken.
But coming from a Montrealer , the greatest chicken in the world is " Chalet BBQ " in Montreal.
If you ever come to Montreal go eat there. The fries are great, the sauce is amazing, but the chicken is simply delicious.
It gets voted the best chicken in Montreal almost every year. It's an old restaurant that's been there since 1944.
It's a Montreal institution.
The most popular chicken chain in Quebec is St. Hubert. I personally don't think it's good, but that's just me.
The best chicken is KFC
@@craig221 Hahahahahahahaha !!!
Darn, I wish I had known about Chalet BBQ back in 2018, I went to Montreal and went to St. Hubert as they are all gone in Southern Ontario.
@@Raider7779311 Well if you ever come back to Montreal, it's on the corner of Autoroute Decarie and Sherbrooke Street. On the west side of Decarie. I'm sure you won't regret it.
@@craig221 uh no!
Swiss chalet has been a staple in Canada for many years, been goin there since I was a kid! Loved the Shirley Temples too, also a staple at Swiss chalet! Haven't been in years but after watchin your video, I'm makin time to go next week! Sendin big shout out from Toronto Canada... Leesa
next is St-hubert guys
They got the best gravy, but St'Hub has cheapen out last decade... Benny's where it's at!
@@mentalpatient2324 100% onboard for St-Hub's sauce. But the made-of-plastic bread, sad soggy fries and "crèmeuse ou originale" coleslaw are turn offs. I'll take rice instead of fries if I'm going to St-Hubert. And an extra sauce, to drown it.
Chalet was great last I went, but that was over ten years ago (there's none around here).
Swiss Chalet bought them out
I’m Canadian and never heard of St Hubert or Benny’s.
@@Halivan They are restaurant chains present only in Quebec I believe ;)
Love these. Always make my day brighter when I see your videos and adventures. Much love.
I always ration my sauce so I have enough of it left to drink at the end. And yes, the packs you can make at home taste just the same. If my wife would let me, I'd just have a glass of Chalet sauce for dinner.
LOL you have a kind wife who cares about your health 😉
Why don't you just get more sauce? They don't charge you extra for another cup of sauce, one is never enough since I dip everything on my plate in it.
Swiss chalet came from a restaurant in Montreal called ChaletBBQ in 1948, was branded SwissChalet in 1954 in Toronto and expanded across Canada and northern US… but is now absent from Quebec. Competitors in quebec swept the market: St-Hubert since 1951, and for some years now “Scores “, “Benny’s and co” chains appeared too.
The only chicken chain in Canada? Really? You guys need to do another trip to the beautiful province of QC and try out St-Hubert!
Not my favorite, but neither is SC so I'd be curious to hear which you guys think is better!
Benny's and co., Scores, Nando's Chicken.
@@SmallFries01 True true, mais je connais pas Nando's! Is it any good?
@@vincentgiroux4317 C'est du poulet routisserie Portugais on Ontario. www.nandos.ca/. J'ai deja vu leur sauce peri-peri au IGA et metro au Quebec. St-Hubert est quand meme ma routisserie prefere.
@@SmallFries01 Oh piri piri chicken, I'm guessing you've tried Romados on Rachel?
I'll try Nandos for sure; I just love Portuguese style chicken!
So! Here's a new adventure for you two neighbors. Montreal Piri Piri chicken. I have no idea if Toronto has some good ones btw, so that might also be a thing. I know Mtl is a long drive for you guys. Still, if you do, give SmallFries and I a shout out, we'll show you around a bit I'm sure! And you can try Chicken rotisserie poutine while you're at it!
We might need to have a doctor over to give you a full medical after it. Wouldn't want to be liable for any future cardiac health issues...
@@vincentgiroux4317 je vais chez. Rôtisserie Portugalia sur Rachel pour le poulet😍 Pas essayé d'autres car c'est une valeur sûre pour moi.
I can smell the chalet sauce from here! Love the channel guys! New sub :)
Love Swiss Chalet and the chalet sauce. Fortunately, living near a smaller town in Ontario Swiss and Harvey's are together, so Chalet dipping sauce for my fries when I'm enjoying a burger is always a must.
Harvey's Cheese burger with onion, tomato and dill pickles on top. 👍👍🏼😋
Same here. We have both in one restaurant, and I do the same :)
Love your channel! Lots of fun and good things to try in Canada! Keep them coming!
Benny &co - chicken - 10/10 , fries - 6/10 coleslaw - 6/10 sauce - 3/10
St Hubert. Chicken - 10/10. Fries - 7/10. Coleslaw - 9/10. Sauce - 10/10
Swiss chalet - chicken - 7/10. Fries -10/10. Coleslaw - 7/10. Sauce - 7/10
St Hubert for the win IMO. You!?
Got to agree! Sauce - 10/10
They don’t every any of these places in Toronto. We have NFC New York Fried Chicken and fritou. Don’t ask me why it’s called New York fried chicken when it’s a Canadian chain but their chicken is better than KFC.
The perfect meal for me would be St hubert chicken and slaw with swiss chalet fries and sauce!
Benny is better than Benny & Co
If you are in Montreal, Cote-St. Luc Barbecue has 15/10 fries. There are very few locations, but they are the best chicken chain by far.
Miss the Swiss Chalet downtown next to Shea's. Great videos. Keep them coming.
swiss chalet is super nostalgic , old school , old fashioned , best rotissirie chicken ever .. and u dunk that bread in that chalet sauce , and always ask for double chalet sauce
Dipping the fries in the sauce is the best! But when you dip the chicken....heaven!
I don't know anyone who doesn't dip their bread in the chalet sauce actually.
Julien LeBlanc I don’t
Me neither, it’s for the chicken.
So right, it did bring back memories!
Another great videos guys! Hey, what's so weird about dipping the bun in the sauce.... it's the normal thing to do for me.
🙂
I used to work at Swiss chalet and I was one of the few staff members that loved chalet sauce! So good! Its been a few years since I've been back but now I am craving it!! Thanks guys!
Well now I want rotisserie chicken! That really did look great. I see nothing weird about the bread. I slice, butter, reassemble as well, but no dunking in sauces. You guys are so entertaining.
yes the restaurants use the same powder we buy at grocery stores.
This Dunk dunks his bread into the Chalet sauce just like yourself! I haven't been in a while but it is a staple of Canadian dine in restaurants :)
I tried Swiss Chalet in Syracuse way back when in 1987. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! I didn't realize they had left the US.
I like to put french fries on to the buttered roll close it up and dip it in the Swiss Chalet sauce.
Genius!
buddy sandwich!
thomas purdy my Scottish dad used to call it a chip butty
Chip butty! Yes... everytime.
You dip ur bread in the sauce after buttering it. I do same. Mentioning the slippery floors made me lol, one of my recent complaints too, but seems like they have rectified the floor issues these past few years. The ribs are delicious too..Swiss Chalet is classic and delish, and pretty consistent in quality etc. Sometimes the chicken .ca be a little dry, but the dipping sauce fixes that. They make one I the BEST Ceasar salads I've ever had, try that next time!
Thanks for your videos, great fun watching you guys try stuff.Tracey Ontario, Canada,
Swiss Bird dine in is a completely different experience than takeout. So much better!! Also, love the caramel sundae for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
What a blast from the past! Used to eat there as a child growing up in Buffalo...before there was a McDonald's on every corner. I vividly remember that weird gravy/sauce.
i grew up in Buffalo, still have my favorite foods when I go back home. That said, i remember having Swiss Chalet growing up and missed it when they left the US. Still think it was the nbest chicken fast food I ever had, and it was the sauce. Boston chicken came close, but they were missing the sauce. Nice Bills jersey btw.
Joseph buttered his biscuit then dipped it into the Swiss Chalet säucé. God bless you both; I love you! #moreVideosMoreOftenPlease!
We moved to Canada from California. I was Swiss Chalet curious and recently went in to check it out. Really good! But had no idea about the sauce (which was an unexpected taste), bread, etc. Love to see someone take a Canadian to El Pollo Loco.
El Pollo Loco is quite good too.
wait....u moved from sunny California to the great white north? dude what is wrong with u?? hahahahaha I thought just Canadians were whack....ya I'm a canucklehead... enjoy the snow dude
I knew it would be dipping the bread! I give my bun to my husband and he always does it. Now our son does too lol
The Swiss is so iconic to me-pretending it was my birthday in college so that we could get free ice cream, bringing our kids there for dinner cuz it was so darn cheap, family gatherings for graduations and birthdays and baptisms lol
Great video!!!👌
you gotta peel the crust off the dough as if it's an orange
and then dip the core in gravy
I so love your channel!!!
I married a Canadian & now live in Toronto. He said he hasn’t been to Swiss Chalet in several years & said he wasn’t impressed back then, but I think I’ve convinced him to try it again so that I can experience it myself 🙂 (Harvey’s is another one that’s on my list of Canadian restaurant chains that I want to try)
Amy Gentry get out there and try!! 😆
They got one in Regina and it didn’t last a year. I’ve never been. When we were kids the commercials always looked soooo good!!!
You gotta do Canadian and American chocolate bar difference, it is astounding
Living in Winnipeg, popular canadian chains seem to be missing. There are no more Swiss Chalets and at least we now got one Harvey’s, being without one for years.
I’ve never been to Swiss Chalet and, yes, I’m Canadian. I’ve never had their sauce, either. Strange, right?
Quebec has a lot of chicken restaurants compared to the rest of the country. The most well known chicken restaurant there is St-Hubert, but there's also Scores, Benny, Au Coq and Fusée.
Chalet BBQ, the original, makes their chicken in a charcoal fired rotisserie.
They've been busy since they opened in Montreal 1944. Packed on weekends.
If you're ever in town, you've gotta go.
He DIPS THAT SUCKER IN YUMMY GRAVEY. I dip my A&W burger in their to die for gravy. Heck I'll dip anything in good gravy. I'm ashamed to say I havent been to a Swiss Chalet. Main reason has to do with my disabilty plus I havent seen one close to where I live in Langely B.C. Man i was hoping i would have won. And i subscribed. 🤔😏😥😘❤🥤🍟🥖🍗.
From Langely B.C Vancouver Canada. I love watching you two argueing over who's food is the best. Its really what and where you grow up though. And what foods did your mom cook. Anyways win or not it's just good clean fun and how can you be grumpy eatting foods and treats for utube fans lol..
I thought me and my Dad were the only ones who dip our A&W burgers! I think now we half do it cause it's good, and half cause it's just tradition together.
Glad to see others have the same idea.
@@marcberube3729 lol. Nope your not alone. A&W For those of you who have eaten there know just how good their gravy is. And dipping it into that gravy is so good. I dip the onion rings as well. They have the best tasting burgers because the hamburger tastes just like it came off the barbecue outside in summer. It's because they really do grill them and with no hormones or other nasty things fed to animals. I dont eat alot of meat but they are my go to place to eat a burger along with all the other great things to eat.
It's just darn good plain and simple.👍.
For what it's worth, there's a Swiss Chalet in Chilliwack at Eagle Crossing
This is the most effective Swiss Chalet ad I've seen in years. God I'm hungry. Maybe some isolation Chalet for me tomorrow.
I have chicken, bread (not rolls) and packaged SC sauce. That'll work! Thanks for the dinner suggestion guys.
"The only chicken chain in Canada." St-Hubert and Score have entered the chat.
Quebec does not represent all of canada
@@jjbear1973 St-hubert and Scores are also in Ontario so what's your point?
U forgot Rockets, Canadian Roasters, Sports Cage
It's easy to say that because the other chains are rather spotty for coverage outside of their home territory. St. Hubert was once more prolific in Ontario at least, but Swiss Pigeon has wide and consistent coverage it seems.
Yes, Swiss Pigeon. ;-)
@@JustCameronAndHisJeep Why Swiss Pigeon. You don't like them?
As someone who had worked in Swiss Chalet in West Edmonton mall when it was in the larger location, the cleaning solution that's used on the floor just attracts the air that has a lot of the grilled chicken smoke/grease vapor stick to its surface. I assumed that the sterilized surface makes it easier for odor particles to bond compared to the bbq chicken smell that lingers on your clothes when u eat there.
Joe, buttering your bread and dunking it in Chalet sauce isn't that crazy.
Given that, I'd love some sauce packets.
I actually remember seeing Swiss Chalet commercials as a kid. Never been and then they don't even exist in Murika now.
I like the chicken but not the sauce.
OMG! I miss this restaurant so much! It's the gravy/BBQ that makes the meal. Chicken is awesome too.
Haha the bin in sauce is a must!! Imagine trying Swiss Chalet for the 1st time (again)?! What a treat!
I was born and raised in Toronto and live in Kingston Ontario now, and have loved Swiss chalet since I was born. Lol . The food has changed a little over the years, especially their fries. Not as good as the once were. Same as the ribs. Still good but not as good as they once were. I also do the same with my bread or roll, that's put butter in the roll and slam it into chalet sauce. Love the vids you guys post especially the Christmas one when Jason chugged the bottle of clamato juice and the reaction, lol. Anyhow, take care, good day eh 👍
AJ Poroznik awesome thanks for watching!! More to come!
I also live in Kingston!! 🍁what a small ass world. I have never been to a Swiss chalet though. Bad canadian here.
Have you tried Coq-au-Bec?? Its pretty similar to St. Huberts since Kingston doesn't have one anymore. It's pretty good and not too expensive. They're available on skip the dishes in Kingston too!!
Hi. Fellow Canadian here. Love your videos! Is this filmed at one of the Kingston Swiss chalets? (Just curious, because I live in K-town) :)
The “weird thing” that Joseph does is butter his bread and dip it in the Chalet sauce. Btw it’s not weird I do it all the time I eat it.
My first Swiss Chalet experience was back in 1978 in Ontario.....There were no utensils and you were expected to eat with your fingers (hence the finger bowls). As a young kid that was fantastic! In the my area (Nova Scotia), Swiss Chalet used to have two dipping sauces....regular and spicy. Sadly, they do not offer the spicy anymore. Always love the FESTIVE SPECIAL!!!
Dipping a whole buttered bun into the Chalet sauce isn't all that uncommon. Weird would have been to dip into the Shirley Temple. LOL Another great video. Keep up the great work and I want a button, tabernack! 😎😇😉
Hahahahahaha! tabernack!
Another Chicken resto that use to be popular is St.Hubert. There are a few left. I haven't been in ages. You guys HAVE TO check one out.
Dipping his bread in chalet sauce. Never had it but would love to try it.
I haven't been to a Swiss Chalet in at least a year... they don't have them here in Montreal anymore. All we have here is St. Hubert BBQ, Scores, (and near me, a place called Cote St-Luc) - all still good.
But at Swiss Chalet (or any of the other places I named), I always drink any chalet sauce left over!
When I was a kid Swiss Chalet was a borderline fancy restaurant rather than casual dining. My family went one Saturday a month. My dad wore a tie and jacket and they had tablecloths and a desert cart.
@6:57 I think all Swiss Chalet left Quebec's province. I remember going there when I was young but we do have really good sit down places like St-Hubert BBQ which is almost the same as Swiss chalet.
Could be the bland "sauce" for the perogies was sour cream, the standard accompaniment.
Idk if it's changed, but I used to work there years ago. The pierogi sauce is called cajun mayo and is 2 parts sour cream to 1 part mayo, with a 'cajun' spice mix which is quite mild and is probably chili and / or cayenne based. I make something similar at home for pierogi sometimes, but stronger.
@@IntrebuloN ok thanks Never knew spices could be added to sour cream.
I'm an American who absolutely concurs with Swiss Chalet's amazing sauce and chicken. Incredible. I wish we had them here in Michigan - but, fortunately, Windsor is just 45 minutes away!
He *butters and dunks* (beez and deez) !!!
Joseph butters and dips his bread. When I was younger, use to make a sandwich with chicken, ketchup and fries and dip it. Found memories.
The next time I visit Canada, I'm going to try Swiss Chalet and try dipping my bread with butter in the sauce (the Joseph method. Ha ha). The sauce looks amazing!!
