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 […]
The “Best of” YEG Pizza Odyssey
I’ve posted my final rankings already (check it out here), so I thought I’d follow up with a few parting thoughts, and a few different “Best Of” categories. 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 #11- Capital Pizza vs Chicago Deep Dish vs Versato’s
I’ve got 3 thick crust pizza’s left to review in my search for the best pizza in Edmonton, so this week I’m going to do a 3-way. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Let me try that again… This week I’m having a cheesy threesom… nope, that’s not better. This week features a pizza menage a […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #10- Il Forno vs B Street Bar
I know what you’re thinking – “B Street Bar?” “What the heck is that?” I admit I thought the same thing when it was suggested to me by multiple people, but after finding out they’ve got a wood fired pizza oven, I figured anyone who would invest in one of those must be serious about […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #9- Rose Bowl vs Plato’s Pizza
This week’s search for the best Edmonton pizza takes me to a couple neighbourhood pubs doing thick crust pies, both with very long histories in the pizza community. After strategically taking a few weeks away from the thick ones to re-charge my enthusiasm for them, I was anxious to dive back in, but not anxious […]
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 #7- D’Amore’s Mercato vs Italian Center
After a couple weeks away from pizza – sorry for leaving you hanging like that – I’m anxious to get back at it, putting 2 of Edmonton’s Italian Markets head to head in this weeks pizza battle. Nothing screams Italian quite like a real Italian market, so it stands to reason these 2 spots should […]
