“What’s it like up there,” Corden asked the two stars.
“Oh my, God,” said Edgar-Jones. “Have you been to Model Milk?”
To which Pascal replied, “I’ve been to Model Milk.”
“It’s the place,” added Edgar-Jones.

The second time Model Milk has appeared on this list! What a celeb hot spot.
In April, an iconic photo was taken when all four main hobbits from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy of movies were spotted in Calgary.
Elijah Wood (Frodo), Sean Astin (Sam), Billy Boyd (Pippin), and Dominic Monaghan (Merry) had a meal together, and it was definitely one for the fans.
The four attended the 2022 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, not too far from the popular restaurant.
