The term banh mi was added to the Oxford English Dictionary last month. The French-influenced, Vietnamese sub is an inexpensive and addictive favourite the world over. Trung Nguyen in Chinatown’s Far East Shopping Centre has a loyal following because of its unusual sub fillings and ridiculously friendly owners. Ever so chipper, they tend to [...]
Cross-posted from Metro Calgary: Rasoi, which means kitchen in Hindi, does a masterful job of modernizing Indian favourites in a stylishly muted dining room. Samosas ($7) were filled with garam masala beef and lightly deep-fried. Only the elegant presentation prevented me from licking the coriander and tamarind chutneys from the plate. Stuffed with pieces of slow-braised masala [...]
Without Papers was creating buzz even before its opening this month in Nectar’s old second-floor space in Inglewood. There were high expectations for the casual pizza place because it’s run by the same people behind Italian favourite, Sugo, which is just downstairs. Then there was the unusual name.

[...] Slow Food Edmonton has organized a food conference called Eat Alberta to showcase local food experts. It takes place April 30 in downtown Edmonton, but the extremely organized committee behind it hopes it will evolve into a provincial event. There will be keynote sessions on urban gardening and urban homesteading, and tastings of fruit wine, [...]
It seems the owners of Muse and winebar (and AKA) are intent on taking over the corner of Kensington Road and 11th Street with the opening of Brasserie Kensington. The new restaurant is right above winebar, where an interior design store used to be. It’s been transformed with the requisite dark wood tables, chairs and [...] |
