Edmonton desserts

As a general rule, I tend to be disappointed in restaurant desserts. I often opt to indulge a little more in the meaty options of dinner, and take a pass on the sweet goodies at the end, but I have found some mighty tasty exceptions to that rule. Here’s my list of 5 Edmonton restaurant […]

September 4, 2015 By baconhound

Edmonton food trucks

Edmonton summers are beautiful but short, so we like to pack as much outdoor fun into those precious summer months as possible. That’s probably why we have such an infatuation with food trucks, and that infatuation explains why there has been such a rapid proliferation of new ones in the last few years. Edmonton has […]

Edmonton fried chicken

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 […]

July 14, 2015 By baconhound

Edmonton fried chicken

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.

July 3, 2015 By baconhound

It’s been a blast, but I think I’ve exhausted my list of possible contenders, and I’m pretty happy with the results.

YEG Pizza Odyssey #8- Famoso vs Piccolino Bistro

April 15, 2015 By baconhound

Of all the chain restaurants that have started in Edmonton over the years, Famoso is one of the few I still find myself going to on a regular basis. Of course it helps that the original location is just a short walk from my home, allowing me an easy alternative to slaving away over the […]

YEG Pizza Odyssey #5- Royal Pizza vs Dallas Pizza

February 17, 2015 By baconhound

Dallas Pizza

The search for Edmonton’s Best Pizza is in full swing, with another couple of thick crust pies on deck for this week. These 2 contenders have been around a long time, and I tend to think of them as the benchmarks for this style. I’ve eaten both numerous times over the years, and I’ve got […]
