Brunch at Edna
Edna Restaurant 2053 Gottingen Street, Halifax, NS Went to Edna for brunch with my bro recently. As expected, there was a waiting list but there was self-serve (albeit not complimentary) coffee for the crowd that awkwardly took up the front part of the restaurant. We were seated at the bar, which was fine by us.…

Toronto: An Investigation of Halifax Donairs
Update 2020: this post was written in 2015, and many of these restaurants have since closed (I have indicated which ones). There is now a Jessy’s Pizza in Toronto, and it doesn’t get more authentic than that. Check them out at 2200 Dundas St W. I recently took a trip to Toronto with my main…

Toronto: St. Lawrence Market Peameal Bacon Sandwiches
Carousel Bakery, in the St. Lawrence Market 92-95 Front Street East, Toronto, ON For much of my life, I thought “Canadian bacon” was just a quirky and misinformed American term for ham. Kind of like French fries. Turns out, I had never eaten back bacon nor could I figure out what was particularly Canadian about…

Sandwich Showcase: Triple Decker at Hali Deli
Hali Deli 2389 Agricola St, Halifax Crazy, right? I’ve chosen to showcase a sandwich from Hali Deli that doesn’t involve smoked meat. The Triple Decker is described as being “like a club, only with egg and tuna salad, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and red onion”. The sandwich is $9.99 and comes with coleslaw and your choice…

HFX Burger Week 2015: Round Up!
Well, Burger Week is officially over and I’m all burgered out for a while. Looking forward to a nice cleansing diet and maybe a gym membership! I ate close to 16 full burgers this year, sampling 19 of them – so I got to try a third of the burgers. Due to weather/time constrictions I…

Halifax Burger Week 2015 – Kick Off!
It’s officially Halifax Burger Week 2015! This year is the third year running for The Coast’s popular event – it’s a week where people come out to support local businesses while shamelessly eating their most favourite high calorie food. There are lots of $5 burgers to be found around town, which is a great way…

All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Quest: Round UP!
I’ll be the first one to admit that this was not the most scientific quest I’ve done. There were no scoring sheets, and not a particularly consistent body of questers – but much thanks to Denton, Jenn and Talix for their dedicated attendance! This quest was more of a learning experience for me, as I…
