I hardly ever venture into the south of the city, but with a ladies brunch date in order, we added our name to the waitlist and headed into Bro’Kin Yolk. First opening in 2015 in Symons Valley, and now having three locations in the suburbs of Calgary, this place values local, fresh ingredients with a …
Alberta Beer Festivals organizes six different sampling events throughout the province for the year. Last night, I attended The Mashing, held in the Grandstands at Stampede Park. The festival brought together a mix of fifty-five breweries, distilleries, and cideries from across the province, as well as various food vendors and entertainment stages. A general admissions …
Vietnamese food has become my comfort meal of choice. Anytime I’m feeling sick, tired, or just having a rough day, it’s what I crave. There are numerous options for Vietnamese restaurants in town, depending of course on where you live, but my longtime favourite has been Van Son. I always go to their 16th Avenue …
This cute little cidery just opened this spring in the northeast community of Franklin. It’s in the same plaza as Heathen’s Brewing Inc., so perhaps there’s a gluten free drinking area beginning to form. SunnyCider has a beautiful interior: crisp, white, and clean.

We’ve longed for the idea of a local pub, but somewhere that actually served quality drinks and food, and at last it happened! I couldn’t have been more excited when last summer a new brewery popped up in our neighbourhood: Elite Brewing and Cidery. Elite has a well established theme that permeates through all that …

It’s the only pedestrian bridge that links the two and is a lovely piece of artwork to admire. It was designed by a French architecture firm from Paris, and the design was voted …
Being back at work again had me reminiscing and dreaming of care-free ways, summer weather, and holidays. In August, we went on a mini road trip to BC, stopping in Fernie, Cranbrook, and the Fairmont area. In Farimont, we rented this adorable cabin in the woods where life was easy. How I’ve been thinking about …
Who needed an extra coffee after the long weekend? I know I sure did. When we first moved into our community, I was overly disappointed to learn that there wasn’t a single coffee shop around, besides the Safeway Starbucks. Nowhere you could walk to on a Saturday morning, nowhere you could quickly stop in for …
Driving by this Japanese restaurant at least twice a day, we decided it was finally time to stop in and try it out. It’s highly rated on Google and best described as a place for traditional sashimi and sushi dishes, and other Japanese plates. Arriving at just after 8pm, the restaurant was packed! We were …
A culinary drag event. What does that entail you may be wondering. Well, let me indulge you. Sashay, Fillet brings together the worlds of food and drag. This year, five local chefs from Bridgette Bar, Raw Bar, Purlieu, The Sensory, and London Local partnered up with local drag performers to move through a series of …
