Oh, you ate one too, eh?

New site!

Right, so back by popular demand, the restaurant review site, but in a new format. Many of these reviews are old, just haven't gotten around to posting them until now. I'll try to date them where I can. You can still check out the old site here

Unlike other foodie bloggers, I however don't own any fancy camera gear - just an old Sony digital camera that works. Maybe if it breaks I'll look at getting something else, but likely just another simple point and shoot type thing that I won't break easily!

So here we go!

"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.

To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.

Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold.

Oh, I'll accomodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine."

Sloppy Hoggs Roed Hues

Alright, so it's been a while since I updated anything here but with the flood in Calgary and all, I've been slacking. With that said, this place deserves a post just for the crazy that this place dishes up.
A friend had sent me a picture of something truly ridiculous gastronomically, and I had to go see if the sandwich was as good as it sounded.

So I decided to do something a bit random, and join a Meetups.com group - this one was due to a friend who'd joined already, and I'd met a couple of the members at the Kingsland Farmers' Market Food Truck thing a couple weeks ago. I hadn't had time to actually talk to most of the members, but I had a bit of time on Tuesday so I said, what the heck.

May Long Weekend at Kingsland Farmers' Market

Friends and I went to visit the Kingsland Farmers' Market 'Night Market' and Food Truck Festival, and below are the resulting pictures:
(I have to note, that while the food is decent, nothing really stands out from food trucks for me still, especially for the price)

Pio Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken

Looking for something a little different over the long weekend for dinner, my sister and I decided to visit a Peruvian restaurant that had been rated highly by other food bloggers, Pio. It is located in a strip mall, not far from Sunridge Mall, but in a bit of an odd location for a non-quick-serve style restaurant.
