A Sampling of 3 New Food Trucks
The food truck scene here in Edmonton has really exploded in 2013, with numerous new trucks hitting our streets. This is great news for a comfort food junkie like me, because food truck food tends to be right in my wheelhouse… Simple and tasty, with an affordable price tag. Will this plethora of new curbside […]
3 New Sunday Farmers Markets
Edmonton seems to be a bit Farmers Market crazy these days, with seemingly every neighbourhood having it’s own market. Though until recently, there were no markets on Sundays that I was aware of. That all changed in the last few weeks, as 3 brand new markets have opened up for Sunday business. This is good […]
A Little Too Close To Home- A High-Rise Fire on my Block
It’s pretty tough to enjoy your morning coffee and Baileys when the high-rise across the street has smoke billowing from an 8th floor window. Trust me on that. Since I don’t have a Flickr account, I figured I’d just post some pics here.

D.I.Y. Pizza- Project Pie, San Diego

The Shack of My Dreams- Carnitas Snack Shack, San Diego
Is 3 trips to the same restaurant during a paltry 1 week holiday too much? Is that too narrow minded in focus, robbing you of precious opportunities to sample more of what the local dining scene has to offer? If you answered yes, then clearly you’ve never been to the Carnitas Snack Shack, in beautiful […]
Burger Lounge- San Diego
We’re always up for a great burger, so when we got suggestions from from San Diego locals to check out Burger Lounge, we couldn’t resist. The look and feel of The Burger Lounge reminded us a lot of Clive Burger in Calgary. Fittingly, just as the Custard Shakes at Clive caught Robyn’s eye first, at […]
Swine and Dine at Bistro Saisons
The nice thing about a dining event centred around Alberta Pork, is that, well, it’s a dining event centred around Alberta Pork! Duh. Given that this event, dubbed Swine and Dine, was being held in my neighbourhood at the brand spanking new restaurant Bistro Saisons, it was a prefect time to check it out. According […]
