Wake Bistro has opened up where Fiasco Gelato used to be in Kensington. It focuses on breakfast and lunch which is pretty smart in an area dominated by pub food. The menu is short and manageable with mostly things in between bread, soup and daily dessert specials. On weekends, it expands to include omelettes and [...]
It’s a shame none of us have time for afternoon tea anymore. Relegated to a luxurious treat in fancy hotels, I wish we could all stop for sandwiches with the crusts cut off every day. The Dove’s Nest in Calgary is one of the few places I’ve found that does it on a regular basis [...] I may be a small, Asian woman, but I often have the appetite of a large football player. So Spolumbo’s pork cutlet on a kaiser ($8.50) is right up my alley. Spolumbo’s was started by three former Calgary Stampeder players. They know how to feed people.

In Chinese cuisine, there are the bright yellow egg tarts (蛋撻), which are said to be influenced by Britain, and then there are Portuguese tarts (葡撻), which are made with a bit of coconut milk and have a brown caramelized top. The Portuguese tarts [...] My first true smoked meat experience was thankfully at Schwartz’s Deli in Montreal. It was busy, cramped, and probably looked the same as the day it opened in 1928. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. The counter man lifted a brisket from the steamer, and started slicing and slicing and slicing. I got worried [...]
I think every major city has a hidden gem like the Italian Centre Shop. It’s where the Italian community goes for imported olive oil, fresh rolls and the best smoked meats and cheeses. It’s also where you get the biggest, freshest sandwiches. Here, you get a foot and a half long sandwich, stuffed with 3 [...] |
