Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! : Four Seasons of Prince Edward Island > 자유게시판

The photo below is of the chicken I ate at the dining room of the Dundee Arms Inn. It's a shame that the dining room was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the Dundee Arms Inn itself is in a very convenient location downtown, it is surrounded by churches and small parks and has a quiet atmosphere. The rooms are also very nice.

I am temporarily back in Japan, and he is staying at home in Charlottetown. His parents live about a 15-minute drive away, so he often eats dinner at his parents' house when I'm away. The other day, his mother invited him to dinner and sent me a message saying, "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!" I wondered if he was so happy that he typed "winner" instead of "dinner" or if he was just really hungry, but when I asked him later, I found out that it was a famous phrase. In Las Vegas, the minimum bet was $2, and the chicken dinner at the casino restaurant was also $2. If you won, you could eat at least a chicken dinner, so people started saying "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!", and before long it came to be used when you won at gambling. It's a catchy phrase, so I'll never forget it.
