NORTH BAY — At exactly 6:57pm on the evening of Sunday, December 15th, myself and a team of 6 from The North Bay Bay entered the Lou Dawg’s in North Bay with the goal of reviewing it as objectively as possible. We utilized scientific instruments and precise mathematical calculations to determine the restaurant’s rating.
These are our findings.

The Restaurant
Ambient Temperature: 20.2°C
The temperature around our table was recorded at 20.2°C (68.36°F) which is scientifically within the range of “ideal” temperatures range of 68°F to 74°F for an indoor environment during winter.
Average Noise Level: 97.9 dBA
The average noise level was 97.9 dBA.
Since most of our table refused to sit in silence and wordlessly eat their meals, the noise level may be skewed higher.
Speed Limit: 20mph
In Canadian: 32.19 km/h.
Median Light: 179 lx
Several tests resulted in a median lux level of 179 – which is the equivalent to 0.01790000000001 lumen/centimeter², or 16.62964416002 foot-candle, or that nice warm feeling a person gets when the lights are dim and the BBQ chicken wrap they ordered is extra tasty.
Number of TVs: 7
7 is a historically significant number. The Pythagoreans called the number 7 “the Septad,” and Western religion espoused the use of a seven day week to track time.
The Bills and Steelers were playing on all seven TVs.
Maximum Number of Potatoes Permitted at the Table: No Limit
We asked.
Table Angle: 0.35°
The table we were sitting at was sitting at a 0.35° angle, tilting ever so slightly to the Northeast.
Ghosts: 0
After an exhaustive search for otherworldly apparitions using an EMF meter, we concluded that there were no ghosts in the 3 meter radius around our table.
There were also no spirits anywhere inside the men’s washroom.
Relative Humidity: 49%
Our capacitive hygrometer measured Lou Dawg’s relative humidity at 49%. The hygrometer has an accuracy of ±2% RH in the range 5–95% RH, and is very good at telling us when things are “damp,” “dank,” “muggy,” and “moist.”
Additional Charges for Condiments: 0
Lou Dawg’s does not charge its patrons for ketchup.

Final Grades
Overall Food Rating: 82/100
Overall Drink Rating: 95.14/100
Overall Service Rating: 98/100

Closing Notes
Subjectively speaking, the atmosphere is “great.” Acoustically pleasant and aesthetically pleasing, Lou Dawg’s North Bay is warm, comfortable, and relaxing. The servers are polite, speedy, and attentive, and the house lager was a hit with everyone, getting a 10/10 across the board.
Scientifically speaking, the lack of ghosts is disappointing.
