Well, Burger Week is officially over and I’m all burgered out for a while. Looking forward to a nice cleansing diet and maybe a gym membership! I ate close to 16 full burgers this year, sampling 19 of them – so I got to try a third of the burgers. Due to weather/time constrictions I generally focused on downtown. In […]
– And An Interview with fellow Burger Ambassador of 2014: Nikki Burge! Okay, so there are only 2 days left of burger week but that’s plenty of time to eat more burgers! As I write this, Burger Ambassador Josh Rankin, and his Life of Burgers team, have eaten their way through 43 of the 59 Burger Week Burgers! That is […]
It’s officially Halifax Burger Week 2015! This year is the third year running for The Coast’s popular event – it’s a week where people come out to support local businesses while shamelessly eating their most favourite high calorie food. There are lots of $5 burgers to be found around town, which is a great way for people to try a […]
We are two days into Halifax Burger Week and the city is definitely buzzing with burger hype! I’ve already published a History of Burger Week in which I talk about the origin of the event and address some of the controversy surrounding it. Now that I’ve got that off my chest, it’s time to get back to the burgers! I’m […]
As Halifax Burger Week approaches its 7th year, and grows larger and larger, I find that there are more and more people who don’t really understand the event. Since 2013, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the event, its raison d’être, its growth, its shenanigans and most importantly, the burgers. This year I’m noticing an unprecedented amount of criticism, conspiracy, […]
Well, 2015 ended up being a year that I put too much on my plate, so to speak. I had ambitious plans and I didn’t get everything done. But it was still a fantastic year, and Eat This Town has continued to grow! Here are some highlights: I said I would bring you 12 months of brunch, but I only delivered […]
It’s been 10 years of Eat This Town. Crazy. It seems like just yesterday that blogs were still kinda newish and exciting, and now they seem to struggle for relevance in a world of easily digestible TikToks and Instagram stories. Some of us bloggers have shifted to social media influencing and marketing, while others have moved into more formal writing […]
I’m trying to remember the highs and lows of 2021 but it’s all a blur! I think the highlights of my year were getting called back to work and finally getting to visit friends and family in Calgary. The lowest part of the year was losing my dear Grandmother 🙁 And I have just been informed that Betty White has […]
The Side Dish and I have started dabbling with a new Instagram project called @CinLinDoes where we dabble in adventure and lifestyle. We tried out a month of sobriety last November, and decided we should dive into 2021 by participating in Veganuary (a month of exploratory veganism). We were polluted with cheese, wine, eggnog, chocolate, and holiday turkey, and welcomed […]
I’ve never been a regular consumer of the clubhouse sandwich. When people would ask me to do a clubhouse quest, I would shrug and say, “Club house sandwiches are boring. They’re what you order if you’re playing it safe.” Or if you’re really hungry. There’s a reason they’re popular; they’re filling, they’re reliable, they are visually striking with their multiple […]
