McGavin’s Bread Basket bolsters shoppers’ home arsenals of breads and baked goods with an ever-changing selection of noshes from brands including Dempster’s, Little Debbie, and Dare Foods. The store’s shelves brim with discounted gluten-based delights stamped with swiftly approaching expiration dates alongside excess loaves baked by overly prolific bakers. Sandwich meats find support when enveloped within snowy slices of McGavin’s white bread ($10.49 for five loaves), and Dempster’s English muffins ($6.99 for three six-packs) add a British spirit to breakfast without inviting over Laurence Olivier’s ghost. Additionally, Dempster’s bagels ($8.99 for three six-packs) act as soft bases for sweet and savoury spreads.

Graze Restaurant

2828 23rd St. NE, Calgary, Alberta

Today’s Groupon: for $22, you get a dinner buffet for two at Graze Restaurant, situated inside the Executive Royal Inn (a $43.90 value).

At Graze Restaurant’s daily dinner buffet, tables bow beneath the weight of a variety of gourmet delicacies. Beneath soaring columns, strands of lights, and the x-ray stares of hungry superheroes flying above, chefs carve out slices of AAA prime rib and crown the thick cuts with a dollop of yorkshire pudding. On Wednesdays, Graze’s culinary gurus eschew prime rib in favour of carved turkey, which patrons can couch between tufts of homestyle mashed potatoes and sage stuffing. A rotating cast of four hot dishes as well as a soup-and-salad bar smother lingering hunger pangs. At meal’s end, guests can prowl the dessert table, plucking up slivers of pie and cake and inserting fresh, seasonal fruit into mouths or 3-D still-life paintings.

Donegal Irish Pub
http://www.calgarysbestpubs.com/pubs/donegal
1637 37th St. SW, Calgary, Alberta
(403) 686-6960

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of pub fare and drinks at Donegal Irish Pub.

The culinary savants at Donegal Irish Pub craft a menu packed with traditional Irish favourites, in addition to 27 draught beers and more than 30 scotches, all served amid hand carved woodwork and classic pub decor. Eaters can team up to tear through an appetizer of mini stuffed Yorkshire puddings ($13) or go solo with eats such as a slow-cooked, smoked beef brisket sandwich ($14.50). Kitchen crews pour creamed corn over an Irish cottage boxty ($13)—potato pancakes stuffed with ground lamb—and then fry up fish ‘n’ chips ($13) using Guinness-based batter. Diners can also dig into a reuben pizza ($13.50 for an 8″; $23 for a 12″), which transports the ingredients of the classic sandwich onto an edible disc of house-made dough. Between bites, patrons sip pints of Harp beer ($7.99) imported from Ireland or down firebrand whisky ($5.50) to warm up the furnace that powers their digestive system.

Victorian mirrors reflect the dining space’s coffered ceilings, Celtic floor mosaics, and custom glasswork imported from Ireland. Each named for a different area of Donegal county, the eatery’s hand constructed rooms greet diners with 23 plasma screens beaming sports and carved-wood gargoyles that offer play-by-play commentary.
