One of my food memories growing up in Vancouver is the cardboard Pirate Pak for kids 10 and under at White Spot. My entree (usually a hamburger) sat in the middle; a Styrofoam cup with my milkshake was nestled on the stern; a straw held up the cardboard mast; a mini cup of vanilla ice [...]

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, [...] Hey Calgary diners, here are a few restaurant re-surfacings worth noting: Colombian Flavor, one of my favourite hidden gems, which used to be in the now-closed Heritage Flea Market, is now at 2770 Glenmore Trail SE, (403) 457-2484. I think that’s right near the Glenmore Inn.

I got a mushroom [...] When I met Steph more than 10 years ago, she was a vegetarian and single. I was too (single, not vegetarian). We’ve shared a lot of laughter, angst, and joy over the years, so I was honoured to be included in her intimate wedding reception earlier this month at Culina Mill Creek, a favourite of [...] UPDATE – March 2011: Queen of Tarts has opened its own storefront at 10129-104th St., Edmonton, (403) 421-4410. We went to a stomach-busting wedding of some very dear friends on the weekend at one of our favourite restaurants, Culina Mill Creek. I’ll blog about the food later, but the dessert was so good I have to [...] Looking for somewhere new for Sunday brunch (we can only go to Culina so many times in one weekend), Jason’s family and I headed to Café de Ville, which has been in Edmonton for a while but somehow not on our radar. The restaurant is on the ground floor of the three-storey Buena Vista building built [...] |
