There are two kinds of (North American) BBQ people: those who like it dry and those who like it wet. Hm. That came out wrong. That’s what she said. Heyo!

Anyhoo, I used to be a wet BBQ person because that’s all I knew. Ribs in Canada tend to come from chains like Tony Roma’s [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2011/08/20/vancouver-memphis-blues-bbq/feed/ 2 http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/10/07/calgary-holy-smoke-bbq/ http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/10/07/calgary-holy-smoke-bbq/#comments Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:20:10 +0000 are you gonna eat that? http://ugonnaeatthat.com/?p=5429 UPDATE – Aug. 16, 2011: Holy Smoke lovers rejoice. A second location is opening soon near 16th Avenue and Edmonton Trail. And the original southeast location has expanded its hours to 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturdays.

There have been a lot of rave reviews for Holy Smoke Barbeque [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/10/07/calgary-holy-smoke-bbq/feed/ 10 http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/03/19/toronto-harlem-underground/ http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/03/19/toronto-harlem-underground/#comments Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:30:44 +0000 are you gonna eat that? http://ugonnaeatthat.com/?p=4372

In my pursuit of chicken and waffles, I checked out Harlem Underground, whose former incarnation was an old favourite Jamaican place called Irie. Its owners went back in time and emerged as a Southern restaurant /live space inspired by the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.

We went on a holiday Monday and were fortunate to [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/03/19/toronto-harlem-underground/feed/ 1 http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/02/06/toronto-waffle-works-and-fried-chicken/ http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/02/06/toronto-waffle-works-and-fried-chicken/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 06:33:57 +0000 are you gonna eat that? http://ugonnaeatthat.com/?p=4116 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.

Yes, the House of Blues is a chain. Yes, the gospel brunch is a gimmick. But where else can I see a real gospel choir while stuffing my face with fried chicken?

Our tickets said 10 a.m. seating but at 10, we had to stand in the folk art-decorated foyer and suffer through an awful [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2006/07/30/chicago-hallelujah-pass-the-grits/feed/ 0
