CALGARY: Home Tasting Room

are you gonna eat that? — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:34:20 +0000

This is an example of about how it doesn’t ever hurt to ask.

We were heading back to Calgary for a short weekend visit and of course I wanted to try a newer restaurant that I’d never been to. But because H had outgrown his travel tie chair and I didn’t want to lug a [...]

CALGARY: Brasserie Kensington

are you gonna eat that? — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:09:57 +0000

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 [...]

CALGARY: loungeburger

are you gonna eat that? — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:08:35 +0000

Less than a month into its existence, loungeburger has surprisingly few kinks and a lot of juicy burgers, as I wrote in this week’s Metro Calgary review.

The Kobe beef burger ($20) is worth the hefty price tag, with a tender wagyu patty, Applewood cheddar and horseradish aioli.

The pretzel bun is a thing of wonder. [...]

TORONTO: Globe Bistro

are you gonna eat that? — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:16:17 +0000

Disclosure: This dinner was part of the Eat Local, Eat Real food blogger sessions, organized by a marketing company representing Hellmann’s. There was no obligation or contract that required me to write about it.

Globe Bistro‘s raison d’etre is prominently displayed on its menus and website: “Think global. Eat local.” So it was a perfect [...]

Oh random things

are you gonna eat that? — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 22:47:22 +0000

The weather is nice enough now for some leisurely weekend drives. Check out the Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch, southwest of Calgary, that provides hormone and antibiotic-free elk and bison to the three resorts and four Calgary restaurants, including Divino, owned by the same company.

You can buy the same meats yourself at their on-ranch store, [...]

CALGARY: Blink, still good

are you gonna eat that? — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 22:42:40 +0000

I left my camera at home last time I went to Blink. I made sure to bring it this time for Gwendolyn’s birthday dinner.

Our party of 10 sat in the private dining room, which was a very comfortable, large square table so we could all talk to each other. The food and service were [...]

CALGARY: Best patio in the city

are you gonna eat that? — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:18:43 +0000

It took me til the end of the summer to stumble upon the best patio in the city — and I completely forgot to take a photo of it! Argh.

River Cafe has, I dare say, the perfect patio. Large, strategically placed umbrellas provide shade pretty much everywhere and its location on Prince’s Island Park [...]
