Welcome to the premiere edition of “5 Questions With…”, where I’ll be posing 5 questions (was the title a giveaway?) to some interesting people from all walks of life, with a slate toward food, obviously.

Cooking Dinner at Ronald McDonald House
Recently Robyn and I participated in the Home for Dinner program at Ronald McDonald House, and though we’ve done it before, this time extra fun since we didn’t have to do any of the organizing or grocery shopping. 3 cheers for laziness! The whole event was organized as an official Yelp event by Edmonton Yelp […]
Party like a V.I.P in Spain
People who go on those fancy foodie trips to Europe always come home and annoy the heck out of all of us saying stuff like “Well when I was in Italy…”, or ” that’s not how they do it in Paris”. Man, I envy those jerks. If you’re covetous of those trips like I am, […]

Tasting Tour of Central Alberta
Sometimes it seems as if we don’t consider a getaway a getaway unless we’re going far from home. Well recently, Robyn and I were offered a promotional vehicle for a weekend, a 2013 Ford Explorer, and set out to explore central Alberta, instead of the usual Calgary, Banff, Jasper trifecta. We started off on our […]
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 […]
