HALIFAX: Shish kabobs on Pizza Corner

No, this is not one of my best photos but:

I did take it on my cellphone.
It was 2 a.m. or something.
I had not been drinking.
Yes, I had.

This was actually from our trip this summer, but I had forgotten all about the pics on my cellphone.

Pizza Corner, as I’ve documented before, is a bustling after-hours [...]

The McLobster

OK, OK, we finally tried it. We saw a big sign under the golden arches and couldn’t resist.

The McLobster is McDonald’s take on the venerable lobster roll, available only in the Maritimes and Maine. If I recall correctly, the chain was charging about $10 for the combo meal with fries and a drink. [...]

HALIFAX: Brunch at Jane's

I’ve written about how much I love Jane’s on the Common before, but this time, we got to go back for brunch.

I can keep this one short and sweet. Jane’s serves amazing, unfussy food, with great service and astonishingly decent prices.

Jason’s eggs benedict with bacon ($10) came with homemade hollandaise sauce, but the real [...]

DIGBY: Digging the scallops

We didn’t actually spend much time in Digby, Nova Scotia — home of famous Digby scallops — because we were catching the ferry from there to New Brunswick.

Luckily, we miscalculated our meals and were pretty hungry by the time the three-hour ride got underway.

We wandered into the cafeteria of the Princess of Acadia, [...]

FREDERICTON: Bulgogi and mad skillz

Every time I visit Fredericton, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much the city is changing and how many more new restaurants have opened.

Downtown Fredericton now has an Indian-Pakistani restaurant, a Vietnamese noodle house, a Caribbean place, and a Korean-Japanese eatery called Bulgogi.

Deb says in addition to the steadily growing Chinese student population, [...]

ST. ANDREWS: Farmers market

The farmers market in St. Andrews was so much more than I expected. I figured organic vegetables and jams, of course, and maybe some knitted slippers.

But this sleepy seaside town has quite a market bursting with fresh Mexican salsas, Indian samosas, Turkish baklava — and some of the best Thai curry I’ve had in [...]

NEW BRUNSWICK: Ossie’s Lunch

After my first encounter with fried clams, someone told me I had to try “Ozzie’s Lunch.”

I’ve completely forgotten who it was (leave a comment if it was you!) but I remember that person saying it was a popular destination for RCMP officers and those guys always know where the best local eats are.

I [...]

ST. ANDREWS: The best for last, part III

Our second dinner at the Rossmount Inn was part of the amazing package deal I wrote about before. We had a choice of three-courses from the menu and unlike other places, they didn’t care if we nixed one dessert for an extra appetizer. Oh swoon – flexibility AND great food.

I was blown away by [...]
