Halifax Burger Week: Day 4
Day 4 was the big day! I did a big ‘ol burger crawl of downtown Halifax with my friends Em, Talix, and Tinfoil (of Burger Quest 2013). We started at 1pm, forgetting that Halifax practically closes down on Sunday afternoons! We found the Argyle open, and ordered “The Local”: Oulton’s ground beef, shredded NS lamb, poblano…

Halifax Burger Week: Day 3
Day 3 of Halifax Burger Week was devoted to veggie burgers. I wanted a nice healthy day off from all the grease and red meat. I met up with a friend at Heartwood for a “Wild Card FEED Nova Scotia Burger”. By “wild card”, I thought they meant that you get to choose one of…

Halifax Burger Week: Day 2
My first stop on the second day of Burger Week was Ace Burger at Gus’ Pub. The “Jughead Burger” is a classic cheeseburger with fried onions and bacon. Nothing too special, just a really solid burger from Ace. Satisfying as always, and delicious with a pint of Gus’ 65m Ale from North Brewing Company. Jughead…

Burger Week 2014: Day 1
First day of Burger Week was fantastic! My food team and I did a little Dartmouth crawl, but I got a head start at 11am today when some school friends detoured to Cheese Curds with me for lunch. The CC Burger Week Special is a triple cheese, bacon and mushroom melt with crispy Cajun onion…

Round 2 of the Halifax Pizza quest proved to be just as thrilling and surprising as the last. For those of you just tuning in, my food team and I are doing monthly Pizza Quests in Halifax neighbourhoods. Basically we get a medium pizza with pepperoni and green pepper delivered from each pizza shop, and…

Sandwich Showcase: The Traditional Greek Gyro from Island Greek
Let’s clear this up right now: my definition of “sandwich” is probably broader than yours. If the item in question is using bread to hold together a wonderful package of ingredients – it’s a sandwich. This is not the legal definition. Apparently a Boston court ruled that a sandwich must legally involve at least two…

Sandwich Showcase: Meatball Hero from Salvatore’s
Don’t call it a sub. Seriously, don’t. It’s a hero – Sal’s is pretty adamant about that. And why shouldn’t they be? The meatball hero was called the “best sandwich in all of HRM” by Halifax ReTales’ 101 Best Things to Put in Your Mouth in HRM and I’d have to agree that it’s a damn…

Halifax Pizza Quest: The Battle of Quinpool Road
Greetings! I am happy to say that I have completed the first round of my Halifax Pizza Quest! … which you know nothing about because I haven’t told you yet. Here’s the scoop: I am dividing Halifax into “pizza neighbourhoods” and conducting a pizza quest for each area. Ideally, this takes the form of a…

Agricola Street Brasserie
This was attempt #2 on getting a reservation for Agricola Street Brasserie, aptly named for the street on which it resides. Not only that, but the restaurant is named after the pen-name of John Young, who wrote letters to newspapers from 1818-1822 calling for agricultural self-reliance in Nova Scotia. His pen-name was “Agricola” which is…
