Why Halifax is the Worst Food City
Halifax is a city that punches above its weight when it comes to its culinary scene. We have loads of talent, a farm-to-table ethos, some fantastic pubs, and affordable upscale options (compared to bigger cities). Moreover, we are a quickly growing city, with more and more multicultural options every day. Sure, we have high taxes…

Best Food in Dartmouth
The actual title of this post should be: “The Best Food in Halifax is actually in Dartmouth”, but to appease the algorithm I’ve chosen the title before you. The inspiration for this post came to me from my gym coach (Hi Cooper!), who was talking about all of the good food there is in Dartmouth.…

Fish and Chips at Rudy & Olive’s
Rudy & Olive’s 793 Bedford Hwy, Bedford, NS I’ve been reviewing fish and chips since 2013, which is long enough that I have had to revisit places that I first reviewed 7 or 8 years ago. In all this time, there hasn’t been many new fish and chips specialty shops to check out anyway. Vicky’s…

The Best Things I Ate and Drank in Portugal
To be completely honest, Portugal was not on my travel radar.

Nova Scotia Food Profiles: Cape Breton Pizza Burgers

History of the Donair Pt 2: The Halifax Donair
Preface *Since writing this post I have written a more thorough and accurate account in Book of Donair: Everything you wanted to know about Canada’s favourite kebab.

HFX Ramen Quest: The Final!
The Ramen Quest was a bit of an experiment, as I had never done a head-to-head tournament-style quest before, nor had I been tasked with such impossible logistics. It is easy to share pizza and nachos with a group, but have you ever tried to split up bowls of noodles and broth? Who gets the egg?!…
