5 Types of Burritos on Spring Garden Road
You could say the burrito is a perfect food. It’s a whole meal wrapped up in a tortilla for easy transport and extra carbs. If you take away the tortilla, you still have a feast of meat, rice, beans and veggies (a.k.a. “burrito bowl”) and the fun part is customizing all of this into a…

East of East Dining Series: Dim Sum at Canton Garden
*Update: Canton Garden is no longer serving dim sum. The presence of dim sum in Halifax is nothing new, but I’m willing to bet that more of us are familiar with sushi and Thai food than we are with Chinese food. No, I don’t mean that deep fried saucy mess you burp up with a…
