The museum section is quite small, but it's a treasure trove of CBC TV history. Except for a \"Reach For The Top\" guidebook, I didn't see anything game-show related there. But still, please stop by -- it's rather interesting. I've been there twice when I went to Toronto (in 1999 and 2000).

Practically, every fast food chain in Canada, including McDonald's, Burger King and, of course, KFC, sells poutine (fries topped with gravy and cheese), which is practically the national food of Canada.

Their website does include information about the CBC Museum which is free; didn't get a chance to go there myself last year as I only had a day (and Blue Jays tickets to see Barry Bonds knock batting practice balls off the hotel in the Skydome).

Oh, for the love of God.

If you're going to send him to a fast-food place for poutine (pron. \"poo-TEEN\"), make it Harvey's!

To be authentic, poutine must be done with thick, brown fries drowned in thick, brown gravy. Harvey's is a great substitute outside Quebec. The skinny, white fries offered at the likes of KFC and Burger King, with their thin, watery sauce, won't convey the full, artery-clogging experience.

Make it Harvey's! (Delish burgers, too!)

 Is that the place with the counter where you order the burgers, then step to the counter next to it and tell the person what to put on the burger? If so, they do have good burgers....

ObGameShow: Has there ever been a game show with a fast-food theme?

Strange...I don't think I've ever heard of it (I certainly haven't eaten it!)

Regarding the CBC Museum, I've never visited but it's too bad they don't have much game show material there.  There were some cool shows produced on CBC over the years.  A few that come to mind:  \"Front Page Challenge\" (which ran for over 30 years), \"This is the Law\" (a great show from the '70s), and \"Beyond Reason\" - a game show with panelists who were supposed to be pshycics.

Probably the best-known other CBC show was \"Talkabout\" from the late '80s, but that was produced in Vancouver.
