Fresh Fries with Alexander

We're checking back in with Alexander. 

Today we're going to learn about what life is like for them in Moncton, New Brunswick. 

This might be the only artist where we talk about anybody from this province in Canada.

Check out some BANDCAMP action and read on!

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

-- In Canada, I would say probably Mary Browns Chicken.  In the USA, it’s so tough to pick as the variety is foolish, but In & Out Burger is pretty classic. 

In Sweden, there is this amazing chain called MAX and you can create your own burger and can put Grilled Halloumi on it – that is a game-changer. 


2. When I was young, I remember hanging out at Hardee's eating roast beef (not their fried chicken), and smoking cigarettes at the table.


-- I’ve had Hardee’s before and loved it actually, but it’s been over 10 years now as we don’t have it here in Canada. 


Youngest memories were probably the classic McDonald’s birthday parties we all used to have here in Eastern Canada.  


Tell me about some big changes at the place in your lifetime or tell me which part of my sentence is the most surprising and why.


--This band (ALEXANDER) and album coming to fruition finally seeing a release is pretty surprising.  It’s been in the works for a while, but with Jorg in Germany and me here in Canada – plus with this whole COVID thing, the balance of it all has been something else for sure.

3.I n St. Louis, we have Lion's Choice. If you like roast beef, when you're here ya need to check the place. It makes Arby's look like an idiot. THE best fast food fries and great sandwiches. What's your town's local chain?


---Cool, would love to visit St Louis at some point.  There’s a great spot called Deluxe French Fries here in Atlantic Canada very well known for the Fish & Chips, and seafood in general. 


Top shelf!


4. In the grand scheme of things, maybe this doesn't count, especially after the four glorious years we had with them, but here in STL, we don't have Tim Horton's.


Tell me all about the place you don't have and why you need them?


--- We could use far less Tim Hortons.  Legit fact, the city of Moncton in which I live, has the record of most Tim Hortons per capita in the world. 


There is one almost on every other block.  We need a new American chain here, fire up an In & Out or a Jack In The Box or something, the selection is pretty crap here compared to the USA.


5. We've had Culver's for about 15 years now and Shake Shack just showed up. So far, the only thing Shake Shack has going for it for me over Culver's is there's one in the city.


What's the overrated out of town chain in your neck of the woods?


--- None of them are overrated to be honest I think they are all equally shamed and mostly hated but still visited.
