Two restaurants attached to hotels. One in Old Strathcona, and the other Downtown. The chef at one used to be the chef at the other. Plenty of good reasons to put Ampersand 27 and Wildflower Grill together in the Brunch Odyssey, so that’s what I did. Ampersand 27 – 10612 Whyte avenue Fancy plating and […]

Edmonton Brunch Odyssey #1- Workshop Eatery vs Hart’s Table
I love a project. I loved doing the Edmonton Burger and Pizza Odysseys, and had a blast with smaller projects like 2015’s Edmonton Fried Chicken Crawl, and my search for Edmonton’s best perogies. I guess you could say that employing a detailed analysis method to find the best of <insert tasty food stuff here> has […]
The Great Edmonton Perogy Showdown
Edmonton is a bit of a hotbed for perogies, due to our large Ukrainian population, but it seems that everyone has their own ideas on where to find the best ones. Since the demand for perogies goes way up at Christmas, I decided that I should make an effort to find the best ones for […]
YEG Burger Odyssey #13- Downtown Diner vs Rockin’ Robyn’s
If the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has taught us anything- other than annoying catchphrases and wearing sunglasses on the back of your head can make you famous- it’s that North Americans have an enduring love for comforting classics done well. Especially if that food is served up in a family run diner full […]
5 Questions With… Acme Meat Market
This edition of 5 Questions With… features Amanda Meyer, one half of the duo behind Edmonton’s beloved award winning butcher shop, Acme Meat Market. Now, you all know that I am a huge fan of Acme and their meaty goodness, and I’m equally a fan of Amanda and her husband Corey, the butcher. Ever […]
Screen Door- Portland, Oregon
Before heading out to Portland I solicited suggestions from some locals as to where a comfort food favouring fellow such as myself might grab a plate of delicious, down home goodness in their town. I got a number of responses suggesting Screen Door, and after a quick menu search I was sold. When we were […]
Homemade Butter
Making butter at home is a lost art. I know it’s so easy to just plunk down your 5 bucks at the grocery store for butter and be done with it, but that doesn’t come with the same satisfaction and pride in making something yourself. Plus, on top of having some top quality butter, you’ll […]
Creole Envie- Edmonton
I fell in love with New Orleans a couple years ago. I love the energy, the people, the music, and of course, the food. So with the new Creole restaurant open in the Highlands area, we had to go check it out. We first met the chef/ owner, Danielle, over twitter. She was searching for […]
A Meal Worth Breaking Bad For- at New York Vintners
Our trip to New York was already going to be super awesome, and filled with enough delicious meals to last a month, but when Shana emailed Robyn and I to tell us about this unique theme dinner based upon popular t.v. show Breaking Bad (one of our favourite shows), we knew we had to make […]
Addictions, Baconhound style.
My name is Baconhound, and I am a recovering fast food junkie. The last time I “used” was 3 weeks ago. It was a Friday; I was in my work van and had no prepared lunch. I survived the morning fuelled by coffee and granola bars, but I could feel the beast in my belly growing […]
