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 […]
Edmonton’s Top 5 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’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 […]

I went into this search for Edmonton’s best pizza believing that I enjoy thin and thick crust pizzas equally, but by the end it was clear the […]
Yeg Pizza Odyssey #12- Rosso vs Packrat Louie
Well it’s here at last – my final head to head challenge in the search for Edmonton’s best pizza. It’s been a blast, but I think I’ve exhausted my list of possible contenders, and I’m pretty happy with the results. Coming into the Odyssey, I would have said Rosso was my favourite pizza in town, […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #8- Famoso vs Piccolino Bistro
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 […]
Edmonton’s Best Pizza- The Rankings
After putting 25 pizza’s head to head over 5 months, we can agree the Yeg Pizza Odyssey is the most comprehensive assessment of Edmonton Pizza ever compiled. Surely you’ve all read each and every post in the series diligently, but the cause is begging out for a quick reference guide for those times when […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #5- Royal Pizza vs 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 […]
