Fish ‘n Chips at Phil’s Seafood (Revisit)
Phil’s Seafood 6285 Quinpool Rd, Halifax Rating: Some Good. (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I originally reviewed Phil’s Seafood in 2013.

History of the Donair Pt 1: It Began With the Doner Kebab

The Armdale pizza shops: Euro Pizza Armdale Pizza (*Now Closed) (Yes, we did these before on the West End Halifax Pizza Quest but we are revisiting them here). The Fairview pizza shops: Velos…

Fish ‘n Chips at Gazoo’s
Gazoo’s Take-Out 5361 Marine Dr, Porters Lake, NS Rating: 6.5/10 A while back I ventured to Gaetz Brook for what would be a failed chowder mission, and ended up in Porter’s Lake eating fish ‘n chips at Gazoo’s. Gazoo’s Take-Out is just a little shack on the side of the road, with picnic tables and…
