I’ve been intrigued by the combination of waffles and fried chicken ever since I heard about it. Common in the U.S., it’s definitely not so common here in Canada. So when Jessica mentioned a flyer for The Waffle Works, I jumped at the opportunity and convinced my sister and her husband to chauffeur us. Unfortunately, our electronic [...]
The scene of the crime: OddFellows, a hipster restaurant that’s cleverly embraced its strange, narrow space by seating everyone at a single communal table for 24. Owned by two designers, OddFellows is a quirky, to say the least, environment: crazy light fixtures, a fireplace hung from the ceiling, a wall of colourful bubble alphabet fridge [...] The Wildflower Grill is a sleek restaurant in the Matrix boutique hotel building. The downtown Edmonton establishment focuses on “new Canadian cuisine.” We went there to try the Sunday brunch (11 a.m.-2 p.m.). Everything on the menu (9 mains, 3 sandwiches, 2 salads) looked delicious and promising. A warm, buttery, crumbly cornbread muffin kicked everything off, [...]
Sometimes you just need a burger for breakfast. That’s where the Holy Grill’s brunch burger ($8.50) comes in handy. It’s really breakfast, just with a beef patty thrown into the mix (cheddar, fried egg, bacon, tomato, mustard and onions) on an English muffin, with a huge side of fries.

It seems you can’t get into any decent breakfast place or diner in Calgary these days without having to line up. (Or queue up as my newly relocated friend JJ would say.) The alternative involves eating things wrapped in paper. So it was nice to find that The Main Dish — which I thought only did [...]
Doesn’t this look better than your desk?
Doesn’t this look better than a sandwich at your desk?
This definitely looks better than anything at my desk. All of the above is courtesy of Jack of Hearts Bistro, a comfortable, sunny spot in the beautifully restored heritage Lorraine Building in the Beltline. Graphics guru David [...]
The Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus in southwest Calgary is a pretty fantastic place if you’re craving something different for breakfast, brunch or brinner (breakfast for dinner). [Thanks to Only Here for the Food for twigging me onto this place.] Pannenkoek, also spelled pannekoek, is a Dutch pancake completely different from the fluffy North American kind. Pannenkoek [...] |
