We had a thread over on my home board recently that was moved over to the "Chains" section. I would never have found it if I didn't do a site-wide search. I see pointers left once in a while, but the Chowteam doesn't seem to have a set policy because the decision to leave a pointer seems so random.

And I don't think that thread should have been moved either as we were all discussing Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton restaurants (aka restaurants in Western Canadian cities). Yes it was in relation to gift certificates being sold from Costco, but if you actually read the discussion you see us talking about service at the restaurants. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/662407 Fri Nov 06 16:32:27 -0800 2009 5159297 14229 anonymoose
