Too neat! We could be related. My grandfather left the Odessa region of Ukraine, though they ended up near Vancouver. My sister actually currently lives in Red Deer.
I do not recall a buffet of that name, but buffet's weren't really my thing.
I left 25 years ago, now. Maybe we bumped into each other the last time you visited!

It's been a long time since I heard the name North's Chuck Wagon, at least 50 years. In those days a buffet restaurant was a radical, California type of place.
