It had been a couple years since Robyn and I last visited Cafe DeVille, so we were anxious to see if it was as good as we remembered. If I can base it on the 2 dishes we tried, it is. On arrival, we were greeted with a warm basket of croissants. Super buttery with […]
Brunch, at Culina Mill creek.
A special occasion calls for a special place for breakfast. This year for Robyn’s birthday, that place was Culina Mill Creek. This family run eatery is small, so it’s a good idea to get reservations. So small in fact that our server felt bad for cramming us in a corner table behind a large group […]
Stress and Stage-fright: A Recipe for Success
For weeks I’ve been stressing about competing in the Food Bloggers Cook-off as part of A Taste of Edmonton. I had agreed to compete against 2 other fierce competitors, Teresa, and Michelle, in a timed competition on-stage in front of an audience under instructions to create our best “food truck entree”. I’ve never cooked for […]
Quick Bites from New York- Big Gay Ice Cream Shop
Here’s a little marketing tip for you… If you name your business Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, I will visit it based on that name alone. So when we had a couple hours to explore the East Village neighbourhood of New York, Robyn, Shana, and I knew we had to check this place out. It turns out […]
Quick Bites from New York- Katz Deli
Probably the most famous Deli anywhere, Katz Deli has been on my list of New York “must try’s” for years. Thankfully, I got to cross it off my to-do list recently. When you go inside, you’re given a small ticket. Do not lose this ticket. It’s used to track your order, and you MUST present […]
Judging the Judges- Aaron Sanchez’ Centrico Impresses
A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without checking out at least a couple restaurants from the Food Networks platoon of celebrity chefs, would it? I decided on Chopped judge Aaron Sanchez‘ Centrico, in Tribeca. The whole menu sounded delicious, so choosing a few dishes was difficult. We started with guacamole with fresh tortilla […]
Quick Bites From New York- Yankee Stadium
Last time Robyn and I were in New York we went to a Yankees game in what was then the brand new Yankee Stadium. One of the highlights for me was the Philly Cheesesteak from Carl’s Steaks that I got there. I was anxious to try it again and see if it as good as […]
A Meal Worth Breaking Bad For- at New York Vintners
Our trip to New York was already going to be super awesome, and filled with enough delicious meals to last a month, but when Shana emailed Robyn and I to tell us about this unique theme dinner based upon popular t.v. show Breaking Bad (one of our favourite shows), we knew we had to make […]
RUB BBQ – New York City
Whenever I holiday in the U.S.A., I get excited for one type of cuisine in particular…. BBQ. At home in Edmonton, BBQ is one of the very few things that we do not copy well. Delicious, authentic Indian food? Sure, we’ve got it. South east Asian delights? No problem. The best in real Mexican favourites? […]
Fresh Made Andouille Sausage- Easier Than You Think
The only thing standing between me and making my own sausage has always been laziness. Making sausages always seemed like too much work, too complicated, too tricky to stuff the casings, and altogether not worth the time. Plus, there’s lots of other fun stuff you could be doing instead of sitting inside making sausage, right? […]
