I think Blake is a welcome addition to the culinary scene in Canmore.  I disagree strongly with the opinions of the writer, as much as he disagrees with Blake's restaurant.  The crack fries alone give the restaurant way more merit than this article did.  This article is of course one person's opinion and of course some are going to agree and disagree and that's great, constructive criticism is probably hands down one of the best possible things for a new business.  The problem that I find with this particular review is that there is very little constructive criticism.  It seems more like a shock value written piece, in an age where shock value gets the attention. The flagship has indeed not sank after all.   John Gilchrist wrote in my opinion a much more interesting review on Blake back in the winter.  He told more of a story and yes of course I liked it because he liked Blake as I very much do but even if he had disliked the restaurant I believe he would have done it in a kinder way.
