Winnipeg's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives

Ok, you guys.
I'm obsessed with Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.  If Guy Fieri blessed Winnipeg with his Godly presence, which places do you think he'd feature?  
These are my choices:
Half Moon in Lockport
Not in Winnipeg technically but Guy usually does stops along the way.  Holy shit this place is sooo fun.  It's in competition with near-by Skinners to be like the epic Manitoba hot dog.  But I don't really like Skinners.  Half Moon is 100x better, with it's little arcade games.  More so than the food the appeal is the fun summer-y ness.  I can't wait to stop off here for fries & ice cream on the way home from the beach at Bird's Hill this summer.
VJs on Main

I don't really eat burgers, but if I'm going to, they are going to be from here.  My dad loves VJs and eats there way too much, and is developing heart problems as a result.  That's how you know it's good.
Salisbury House
I don't think this really needs an explanation.  Winnipeg icon.  The other day I texted Natalie and said "I can't really comprehend a culture without Salisbury House." We both agreed it's so strange and foreign that people don't understand Sals.  Fuck, I would do anything for a Cheese, Bacon & Egg nip right now.
Tell me what I've missed!

Edit: Dairi Wip

The oddly spelt name of this drive-in is easily forgiven when you get some food from here.  It's another totally awesome, Greek-owned drive-in in the same vein as VJs.  Same deal with your good burgers & fries.
