El Furniture Warehouse French Dip Review, Whistler, BC

This place is rad in Whistler.  Great prices and food.  Lots of fun.  Must go!

And they have a French dip so of course I had to try it.  "Horseradish butter" is rare.  Crispy onion strings.  Everything on the menu is $5.95 so you kind of can't miss and it's in CAD instead of USD and the exchange rate is good right now for USD so let's party!  

We got a seat but others had to wait.  I think we were a few drinks in by the time we had this meal.

Here it is, very small.  Not much jus in the cup.  I got a side salad with Bleu cheese, as is my custom.

White bread.

Jeremy got fish tacos that he liked a lot.

Small size and strange meat-bits are visible.

Onion strings add flavor and crunch.

Demonstrating just how small this thing is.  Kind of traditional soft, white bread.

Money shot and dark, rich jus.

We got wings, too.

Tasting Notes

Good, salty Au jus
Too $hort, one of my favorite rappers from high school and college, was playing overhead.  Not something I'm accustomed to hearing every day out in public!
All good including high end FD is $5.95 cad

Yes, "high end"
By the time we got here we were quite inebriated and cold from sitting outside at The Longhorn, another Whistler must-do
Salad with Bleu
I was upsold on Swiss
Size is very small
Onions are good
The beef had a pulled pork texture but was good
Very Dark, midnight jus.  mmmmmm
White, soft bread
It is Toasted
Great! flavor
Smallness the big issue but get two
Dense bread
Good little Bleu cheese salad with nice greens

All in all a great French dip sandwich, gourmet, for just $5.95 CAD.  Get two next time and enjoy!

GLC Garibaldi Lift Company Whistler French Dip Review

So I find myself in Whistler with my buddy Jeremy.  It's Springtime and the conditions aren't great but not working and playing in the mountains is basically what you want.  We had a great morning of new snow and pow on Sunday when we got up there and the conditions were worse from then on.  Regardless, it's so fun to be there and in the hills riding and relaxing.

So it turns out that I like French dips and they had one at GLC in Whistler.  Included cheddar and horseradish mayo and an option for bacon and mushrooms.

It was fun sitting there, it was a vibrant spot and I love being in Canada.

My board and foot FYI.  I've been snowboarding since 1990 and love it absolutely.  So fun!  I recently rode a OneWheel and it basically changed my life.  You mean I can snowboard EVERYWHERE?  OMG!  But I'm old now: 41 and have a lot of broken bones. Sad!

We weren't sure what the weather would be but we went for it.  Jeremy's family has a time-share there so we got some guy-time in away from the wives.

Warm and cold conditions.

Here it is.  I made sure to get the majo on the side.  It looks good.  The bread looks good, so does the jus.  Nice bamboo skewers as well.  And the salad with julienne carrots looked good, too!  O Canada! 

Beef looks okay.

Liking the skewer.

Jus dark if not thick.

Beefy and cheesy, yum!

Looks good dipped.

Jeremy and me faking shared Olympic gold.

Double rainbow!

Pots of gold on both ends, for sure.

Thick jus, almost gravy-like (it's Canada, what do you expect?)
Happy I got horseradish mayo on the side
Wood/bamboo skewers.  Good job.
Great flavor
Good, chewy beef
Sandwich alone good
Thick jus gets a 3.5 (above average)
