Why are Swiss Chalet(done on rotisserie)much better than the
rotisserie chicken you get at the supermarket(which are very bland
btw)? Both used gas fired rotisserie ovens? The best rotisserie I
ever had was in Edmonton at a restaurant that no longer exists. It
was called 'The Rotisserie' and featured chicken done on the spit in a
lump charcoal burning pit or oven as it were. They also had a chalet
style dipping sauce. Why they went broke, I don't know. Their ribs
were also outstanding. Slow smoked in a smoke/cooker for 5 hours.
Smoked meat done on site as well.

I might dispute that. I occasionally buy rotisserie chickens at local
grocery stores and they are delicious, though they tend to get a little
soggy of they have been sitting around for a while. I try to get one fresh
out of the oven.

I would like to know why the fries are so much better at some Swiss Chalet
outlets that others. One of them near me is attached to a Harvey's and
their fries are good. There are two SCs in a nearby city. One of them has
crummy fries and the other has some of the best fries I have ever tasted.

Swiss Chalet is a chain? Never heard of them. We have at least 100
places in Austin that specialize in grilled or rotisserie chicken, so
they probably wouldn't do too well here.,

Swiss Chalet's a chain in Canada. Their chicken is rotisserie gas
fired but quite good. Their ribs are standard. Dipping sauce is good.

I occasionaly grab the dipping sauce mix at the grocery store, tastey stuff
for a lazy day, about a buck for a package. The restaurant itself I find
slightly better than the average fast food joint.
