Long Story Short: Waffle Bird

July 20, 2022 By baconhound

Back in 2015 I did a fried chicken crawl, and back then the blind taste testing resulted in my crowning the late-night fried chicken at North 53 as the best in show. Fast forward 7 years and I would almost guarantee that our top 5 wouldn’t have a single holdover. Maybe I should reboot the […]

Thamel Bistro- Authentic Nepali Momos and More

October 26, 2021 By baconhound

Whether you call it a hidden gem or a diamond in the rough, we all love finding that little place that punches above its weight. Everybody else just passes by without a second thought, but you know what treasures lay inside. Dedicated chefs and owners throw caution and financial stability to the wind to do […]

Siam Thai Kitchen- CBC Radio

December 22, 2020 By baconhound

Recently on CBC Radio Active I talked about a new Thai restaurant in Edmonton called Siam Thai Kitchen. The restaurant opened in August of 2020, but quickly became my favourite spot for delicious Thai food. It may seem a little surprising that a brand new restaurant in an industrial area could become my favourite so […]

A Hot Chocolate Crawl Through Edmonton

March 12, 2020 By baconhound

When the idea to taste test a bunch of different hot chocolates all around Edmonton came up, I thought it would be pretty easy. I was wrong. We hadn’t even made it to the halfway mark and I was ready to give up. It turns out you can in fact have too much of a […]

February 11, 2020 By baconhound

For those who haven’t seen Episode 1 of my new CBC webseries entitled Through the Pass, I thought I’d post a link to the story and video. In episode 1 I visited one of my favourite pizza joints, Panini’s, to see how a team of all immigrants come together to produce some of the best […]

January 27, 2020 By baconhound

I love a good casserole, and I love one pot dinners. When one pot dinners came up as a topic we were considering talking about on CBC Alberta at Noon, I really wanted to give a classic one pot dinner- cheeseburger macaroni- my own twist. My recipe is different than most and I’m posting what […]

Maple and Beer Baked Ham

April 12, 2017 By baconhound

Growing up, our protein of choice for any holiday seemed to be turkey, That always suited me just fine, since homemade turkey gravy is one of life’s tastiest pleasures. When I got married though, I learned my wife had a personal vendetta against the big bird, or she just found it bland and boring. Who […]

Food Truck Little Village Opens Storefront

February 23, 2017 By baconhound

Theo Psalios of Little Village makes some damn fine food, but until now, getting some of the chef’s delicious family recipe Greek food was limited to food truck season. This is now a problem of the past, as Psalios has opened the doors to his brand new storefront at 14816 Stony Plain road, where you […]
