I’m a big fan of chicken wings, so when JJ invited us to Broken City’s wing night, I immediately accepted.
The Tuesday wings special is a reasonable $4 per pound. The salt and pepper wings are excellent — hot, crispy and finger-licking salty. The hot wings are just OK.
But my friends, Tuesdays at Broken [...]
By our last night in San Francisco, we couldn’t bear the thought of eating more seafood, or really anything else. We were in one of those funks where we couldn’t decide what to have, but we didn’t want crap. I know, woe was us.
Jason vaguely said, “I want something casual. With beer.”
I remember lying on [...]
Before Toronto’s smoking ban, Smokeless Joe was one of the few havens of clean air in the city. I wish I had known about it when I lived there. Not only for the air, or the 200+ different kinds of beer, but because this prime guy territory.
I don’t mean the sports-bar type variety, or [...]
I’m a sucker for packaging and Brooklyn Brewery’s black chocolate stout comes in a good-looking package. All black and gold with a clear, swirly font, it caught Jason’s eye as we were browsing the Kensington Wine Market.

But I could only remember it was [...]
One-way LRT ride to Rexall Place: $2.25.

Regular popcorn: $3.50.
20 oz plastic cup of Molson Canadian: $7.50.
Edmonton Oilers’ 4-0 loss to the Calgary Flames: Sucky.
You either love or hate this drink. Beer with Clamato juice. I’ve heard it called a red eye but mostly just “beer with Clam.”
I think it’s a western thing since I picked it up in Saskatchewan and people out east give me funny looks when I mix them together.
So here’s my bicoastal fusion. New Brunswick’s [...]
After you’ve raced to try the borscht and perogies (yawn), stop by a kartoshka stand. The cute stalls sell baked potatoes with your choice of toppings. And we’re not talking sad simulated bacon bits and sour cream.
Start with the basic potato with butter and cheese (24 rubles). Then pick from hot or cold toppings [...]
