Why Halifax is the Worst Food City
Halifax is a city that punches above its weight when it comes to its culinary scene. We have loads of talent, a farm-to-table ethos, some fantastic pubs, and affordable upscale options (compared to bigger cities). Moreover, we are a quickly growing city, with more and more multicultural options every day. Sure, we have high taxes…

Best Food in Dartmouth
The actual title of this post should be: “The Best Food in Halifax is actually in Dartmouth”, but to appease the algorithm I’ve chosen the title before you. The inspiration for this post came to me from my gym coach (Hi Cooper!), who was talking about all of the good food there is in Dartmouth.…

Post-Pandemic Nacho Quest!
Welcome to the Post-Pandemic Nacho Quest! (And to those saying, “The pandemic is still ongoing” – I know, I know. This is just the first Nacho Quest since the beginning of the pandemic. Sharing finger foods hadn’t exactly been encouraged for a while, ya know?). So why another Nacho Quest? Well, things left off in…

My Shop Local Grocery Challenge 2022
Shop local, they say. It’ll make you feel good, they say. Let’s put this to the ultimate test! There has been lots of grocery talk lately, from inflation to shrinkflation, to the cops at the doors of your local Superstore (due to said inflation). Public servants protecting private interests…. with guns? What could go wrong?!…

The Best Vegan Donair in Halifax
Over the years that I spent researching the donair, ultimately leading up to writing the Book of Donair, I sampled over 50 donairs in 6 cities. I have written posts about the History of Donairs, Calgary Donairs, Edmonton Donairs and even Toronto donairs. But this post about Vegan Donairs has been a long time coming!…

My Top 21 Eats of 2021
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…

Beyond Burger Week: Why I No Longer Participate in Burger Week
*Update 2023: Over the last two years, the long-term effects of the pandemic are becoming more clear. We are still at risk of the virus (which is now easy to dismiss, but as someone who has had it twice, I can tell you that it’s not just a cold), but we are now also facing…

Fish and Chips at Rudy & Olive’s
Rudy & Olive’s 793 Bedford Hwy, Bedford, NS I’ve been reviewing fish and chips since 2013, which is long enough that I have had to revisit places that I first reviewed 7 or 8 years ago. In all this time, there hasn’t been many new fish and chips specialty shops to check out anyway. Vicky’s…

Fish and Chips at Acadian (revisted)
I last reviewed Acadian Fish and Chips in 2014, which, living on the peninsula without a car at the time, required bumming a ride. Nowadays, I road trip everywhere with The Side Dish, but we still haven’t had a reason to go to Hammonds Plains. Well, she recently had to go out that way for…

Fish and Chips at the Brown Hound
My quest continues for the best fish and chips in downtown Halifax. I’ve already reviewed the Resolutes Club, Henry House, Durty Nelly’s, the Gahan House and The Old Triangle. I did all of these in succession, over the course of 3 days, ending with today’s review of The Brown Hound. (I will continue my search shortly, as I still…
