This is the week many of you have been waiting for…its time to get to some of Edmonton’s heaviest hitters on the burger scene – including one of the most overwhelmingly suggested eateries in town. The 2 places we hit up this week have been on my list since the beginning, but I’ve been holding […]
YEG Burger Odyssey #10- Glass Monkey vs Original Joe’s
At this point, I’m sure you all are as tired of reading about bad burgers with frozen patties and rock hard buns as I am of eating them so, this week, I made it my mission to find at least one burger that I could actually recommend going to try for yourself. Until a few […]
5 Questions With… Acme Meat Market
This edition of 5 Questions With… features Amanda Meyer, one half of the duo behind Edmonton’s beloved award winning butcher shop, Acme Meat Market. Now, you all know that I am a huge fan of Acme and their meaty goodness, and I’m equally a fan of Amanda and her husband Corey, the butcher. Ever […]
Yeg Burger Odyssey #9- On The Rocks vs Kelly’s Pub
Edmonton’s best burger, at least according to me, has not been an easy thing to find. Luckily Avenue Magazine recently voted on it’s Top 3 burgers in Edmonton, so this week I’m putting their second place finisher, Kelly’s Pub, up against another downtown area pub, On The Rocks. For the record, their top pick was […]
The YEG Burger Odyssey Visits Austin
While planning our recent trip to Austin, Texas, I knew we’d have to find a few burgers and compare them to what I’ve had so far in the Yeg Burger Odyssey. We narrowed the list to about a half a dozen possibilities, and figured we’d just fit them into our hectic schedule of bbq eating […]
MEAET- Dinner With a Blindfold and a Fork
Edmonton is awash in philanthropic food events that cater to those with deep pockets, but where are the fun and interesting events for those of us who want to get involved in some way without putting some serious tread marks on our wallets? They’re few and far between. Thankfully my friend, neighbour, and all-around community […]

This coming Saturday, March 15, is the 3rd annual Culinary Arts Cookoff, a fundraiser for the Mount Royal School (11303 55 st) in North East Edmonton. According to Karlynn Johnson (The Kitchen Magpie), the event kicks off at 11am, and its a good idea to get there early to have a look through the many […]
Yeg Burger Odyssey #8- The Hat vs Soda Jerks
We’re up to Episode #8 in the search for Edmonton’s best burger, which means this will be burger number 15 and 16 for me. I get asked all the time, “Are you getting sick of burgers yet?”, and frankly today the answer might be “yes”, and tomorrow it might “no”. I guess the real answer […]
Yeg Burger Odyssey #7- The Burg vs Daravara
The 7th edition of the Yeg Burger Odyssey features a burger-centric restaurant that Avenue Magazine recently voted as Edmonton’s Best Burger, and a brand new restaurant that could very well make that list next year. The Burg- 10190 104 st. The Burg has been a bit of a lightning rod since opening it’s doors last […]
