Edmonton has gone fried chicken crazy in the last year, and St. Albert is about to get in on the fun, thanks to Tu Le, owner of 2 of that city’s most popular eateries: Jack’s Burger Shack, and Cerdo Tacos. ONG Fried Chicken is now open and is set to share a completely different take on fried […]

Edmonton’s Top 5 Fried Chicken
Everyone loves a Top 5 list, and I’m no exception. That’s why I’ve partnered with Edmonton Tourism to create the following list of the Top 5 Fried Chicken dishes in Edmonton, so you’ll never be caught without a great fried chicken recommendation again. *This list is mostly compiled from notes gathered during my Edmonton Fried […]
Edmonton Fried Chicken Crawl: Round 2
It turns out y’all really love fried chicken. So much so that my post on the first fried chicken crawl generated so many more great recommendations that I had to do a second round. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. I kept the format the same as last time, which means the tasting […]
Edmonton Fried Chicken Crawl
Ever since starting this blog I’ve wanted to assemble a few people and blind taste test a bunch of Edmonton’s fried chicken, then compare notes and pick our favourites. It’s been years since this idea took hold and I can finally cross it off my “must blog” list. The assembled judges included myself and my […]
Chicken on the Way Returning to Edmonton
Many Edmontontonians will remember beloved fried chicken restaurant Chicken on the Way, and you’ll get to relive fond memories for real when the now Calgary-based franchise re-opens in Edmonton. Plenty of you probably remember what may be Edmonton’s 3rd most famous phone number (after The Lydo and Pizza 73), but sadly the catchy 472-2222 from […]
Long Story Short: Waffle Bird
Back in 2015 I did a fried chicken crawl, and back then the blind taste testing resulted in my crowning the late-night fried chicken at North 53 as the best in show. Fast forward 7 years and I would almost guarantee that our top 5 wouldn’t have a single holdover. Maybe I should reboot the […]
Acme Meats Moving to New Ritchie Market
Saturday, March 11th will be your last chance to visit Acme Meat Market in their location of over 30 years (9531 76 ave) before they move across the street into the brand spanking new Ritchie Market. Acme has to be one of Edmonton’s longest running businesses, opening the doors for the first time in 1921, […]
Eating Independant in Fort McMurray
Having had the opportunity to spend a week in Fort McMurray in the fall, I was happy to see most of the neighbourhoods busy rebuilding after being devastated by the summer wildfire. Though many people outside Fort McMurray know little more about the city than it’s connection to the oil sands to the north, there’s […]
Game of Scones
You don’t have to be the wisest in all the 5 kingdoms to know that Edmonton has some pretty darn good scones. The only question is who will take the Iron Throne of scones? I had a couple food friends in town a while back, which was a perfect opportunity to put their taste buds […]
Edmonton Brunch Odyssey #4 – Meat vs Next Act Pub
Meat and The Next Act may have the same owners, but the menus don’t necessarily convey that relationship. The brunch offerings are distinctly different from each other, and equally interesting. The Old Strathcona area fared pretty well in my searches for Edmonton’s best fried chicken and pizza, and the nearby Ampersand 27 got the area […]
