There is something mesmerizing about watching those KK's going under the sugar waterfall.
 
Krispy>>>Tim's... be gone flash frozen donuts
Krispy Kreame are not made from frozen product According to this article. They are made from scratch onsite, fried and glazed 2-3 times a day from the central hub locations and is what will be built at Ever Square.

 
I ended up at Transit Smokehouse & BBQ last night

Pros:
Clean dining area
Both servers (Melissa and Ray) are top-notch and very friendly
The beer was cold - had an Innis & Gunn although there was a good selection of local micro brews
The food was fantastic - had a french onion soup and 1/3 lb of St. Louis ribs with a side order of mac & cheese
Liked their row of locally-made BBQ sauces to choose from
Each table had their own roll of paper towels
Good acoustics
The blues band was enjoyable and they weren't very loud either

Cons:
The building is somewhat rundown
Could have been busier - the servers were blaming the hot weather (people BBQing at home) and the ongoing Fort Road construction
Chocolate cake was a bit meh
The air conditioning was on the fritz
Card machines were not working, so had to pay using an app on the server's mobile

Verdict:
Will be back if they can remain open

Arbour to fill in the old Famoso. Love to see the quick turnaround for this vacancy. From their Instagram looks like it will be small plates and cocktails.
 
One thing that I've noticed with the Edmonton food scene over the last 5-10 years is that the selection, variety and diversity has been elevated and improved, but the quality, haute cuisine and attention to detail has significantly fallen by the wayside.
