CARSTAIRS: PaSu Farm barbecue

When some friends insisted that I needed to have a baby shower, I frowned. I didn’t really want to to put anyone out hosting some sort of afternoon tea with games and ribbons and diaper cakes.

Being the bossy pants that I can occasionally (ahem) be, I asked (um, maybe stated) if we could do [...]

CALGARY: Seoul Korean BBQ

I love Korean barbecue, especially when it’s all-you-can-eat. If you’ve never been, it basically consists of meats like short ribs, beef, chicken or seafood that are marinated (usually in soy sauce, suger, vinegar, chiles and garlic) and ready to grill at your own table.

It’s not really advertised as a meat buffet but I call it that because that’s where I focus my energies.

There’s [...]
