Hello! A while back I polled Twitter and Facebook to see what kind of quest people wanted to see on Eat This Town. The overwhelming response was ramen, followed by phở and sushi. This reinforced my notion that Halifax is ready for the plethora of delicious Asian foods that are increasingly popping up around the city. That’s right. It’s time […]
It has been a year since my last pizza quest, but we’ve made it all the way to Sackville: the land of pizza and car dealerships! Pizza in Lower Sackville is everywhere – I think this must be the most pizza shops per capita in the HRM! I decided to save Middle Sackville for next quest, and start with Lower […]
The goal of the Halifax Nacho Quest is to discover the best nachos in the city. A group of 6-10 participants embark on a pub-crawl-like adventure, tackling one street at a time, and seeking out nachos wherever they may be. We’ve already covered all of downtown and the south end (see all quests here). The north end posed some challenges, […]
The long anticipated Spryfield Pizza Quest has finally been completed! Thanks to our hosts, Eva and Christian, who offered up their new abode for our Spryfield conquest. For this quest we compared: Now We’re Cookin’ 179 Hebridean Dr, Herring Cove Crystal Pizza 386 Herring Cove Rd, Halifax Herring Cove Pizza 16 Dentith Rd, Halifax Uncle Buck’s 5 Dentith Rd, Halifax […]
The goal of the Halifax Nacho Quest is to discover the best nachos in the city. A group of 8-10 participants embark on a pub-crawl-like adventure, tackling one street at a time, and seeking out nachos wherever they may be. So far we’ve done Spring Garden Road, Argyle Street, Brunswick Street and Barrington Street. And now we have conquered the best nachos […]
In 2014 I did a Halifax Peninsula Pizza Quest. In 2015 I conquered Dartmouth. Now in 2016 I’m going to tackle Clayton Park, Fairview and Spryfield! I have been told that this quest should be called the Clayton Park/Rockingham Quest but that’s a long title so call it what you want. (Truth: I never knew Rockingham was a place until […]
If you’re just tuning in, please check out the previous Nacho Quests. Yes, we have already done Spring Garden Road and the Economy Shoe Shop. Here is my report for the Barrington Street Nacho Quest – which also included a bit of Granville Mall. We originally planned on doing the waterfront but a torrential downpour made us opt instead for […]
I originally wrote this post back in 2015, after I had been tasked with writing an article for The Coast’s Hot Summer Guide (2014). I had sampled 20 lobster rolls around Halifax before submitting my article: How we Roll: Halifax’s Best Lobster Rolls. I have tried to keep it up-to-date over the years, because it continues to be one of […]
The Dartmouth Pizza Quest is now 3/5ths complete! Check out the Downtown Dartmouth Quest and the Cole Harbour Quest if you’re not up to date. Much thanks to Meghan and Matthew, our lovely Eastern Passage hosts! The core pizza team was back in action: Denton Froese, Halifax ReTales, LA Doomguts and myself. Anne, one of our hosts from Downtown Dartmouth, […]
Update 2020: I first wrote this piece in 2015, before the taco craze hit Halifax. Not only was this post incredibly out-of-date, but there are better taquerias serving better fish tacos in Halifax now! I have entirely updated this post to reflect the fish taco situation in 2020. Enjoy! Ever since I was last on the west coast, enjoying Tofino’s […]
