Best Lobster Rolls in Halifax (Updated 2021)
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…

So my bro and I decided to u-turn back downtown to The Stubborn Goat because I heard tell of some new menu items. My last Stubborn Goat brunch post mainly concerned the chicken and…

Sandwich Showcase: Cheese Steak at Willy’s
Willy’s Fresh Cut Fries & Burgers 5239 Blowers St, Halifax I usually think of Willy’s as a place to get drunken poutine after a night of debauchery.

Dartmouth Pizza Quest: Cole Harbour
I realize that Cole Harbour is not technically part of Dartmouth, but it makes sense to include it within the Dartmouth Pizza Quest, so here it is!
