All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Quest: An Introduction
All-you-can-eat sushi: a dining experience that encourages you to abandon all good sense and etiquette. A cuisine that is still just “foreign” enough that many people have not yet explored beyond the maki roll. A dining format that is clearly North American. Yes, we are taking a modest cultural cuisine and making it full-on ridiculous. A proper sushi…

Brunch at the Foggy Goggle
Looking back at my brunch blogs from 2014, I realize I did not eat nearly enough brunch. So my new year’s resolution for 2015 is to eat brunch at least once a month. That’s 12 months of brunch! I got an early start this month by rallying up a crew to meet up at the…

Eat This Town in 2014
This was a big year for Eat This Town! I accomplished a lot with this blog in 2014, and it’s time to take a good look back at my year in review and to get pumped for 2015! There were some highs and lows this year. Rousseau Chocolatier set up shop this year, providing Halifax…

Best Meals of 2014
Happy New Year! … and welcome to my annual report of my favourite meals of 2014! Last year’s Most Memorable Meals of 2013 was my first end-of-the-year report where I talk about some of the best meals I’ve had that don’t quite fit into my blogging schedule. These tend to involve fine dining establishments, pub meals and…

Halifax Pizza Quest: The Gourmet Pizzas of SOMO
SOMO (South of Morris) is brimming with gourmet, artisanal, authentic, fancypants, thin crust, Italian-style pizza – or whatever you want to call it. Whereas the Pizza Quest at large is generally a pepperoni & pajamas affair, I mustn’t ignore the restaurants offering night-out-on-the-town fare – something you put on a shirt for, and enjoy with a…

Brunch at Robie St. Station
Ever since I moved back to Halifax I’ve noticed that we don’t have many brunch specialty restaurants. We excel in greasy diners, and we have pubs and trendy restos that serve brunch, but the amount of spots dedicated to this meal are few and far between. Jane’s on the Common was known for its brunch,…

Sandwich Showcase: Cuban Doner at Tom’s Little Havana
A “Cuban Doner” sounds like a cross between a cuban sandwich and a donair (or more appropriately, a doner kebap). In reality, it does neither sandwich any justice. It bears no resemblance to the Cuban sandwich – the name is merely playing on the “Havana” reference in the bar’s name. The beef is also not…

Halifax Nacho Quest: Argyle Street
This past August I embarked on my first nacho quest. I gathered up a powerful nacho team from the Twitterverse, and we hit Spring Garden Road with beers and duo-tangs in hand. You can read about it here. In September I decided it was time to investigate Argyle Street. The Nacho Team for this quest…

Sandwich Showcase: The Original Pita Club at Darrell’s
Darrell’s is most famous for its peanut butter burger and crunchy peanut butter shakes – but Darrell’s “World Famous Pitas” (really?) also have a strong following. The Original Pita Club, dating back to 1992, is described thusly: “A Darrell’s time honoured favourite. Real turkey (roasted on site daily), crisp bacon, romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, cheddar…
