Bedford Pizza Quest
Bedford was the last zone to be conquered in the Halifax Pizza Quest, and with its completion we have scoured the entirety of the urban HRM (Peninsula, Spryfield, Clayton Park, Fairview, Dartmouth, Sackville). It’s been close to 5 years of questing, and these preliminary findings will help me to narrow down the best pizza in…

Calgary Pizza Adventures
When I lived in Calgary (2009-2012) I had to make some adjustments to my lifestyle: long commutes, long underwear, and longing for garlic fingers! I learned that pizza shops make pizza – not poutine, nachos, burgers or fish ‘n chips. I learned that shrimp goes on pizza and that ranch dressing goes on everything. I also…

Halifax Ramen Quest Pt. 4: Dharma Sushi vs. Sushi Shige
Hello! Part 4 of the Halifax Ramen Quest is a battle of two sushi shops that focus more on tradition than fusion and flair. Both Dharma Sushi and Sushi Shige have been fixtures of the Halifax sushi scene for quite some time and both have their followings. I have put them head-to-head because they both…

Lower Sackville Pizza Quest
It has been a year since my last pizza quest, but we’ve made it all the way to Sackville: the land of pizza and car dealerships! Pizza in Lower Sackville is everywhere – I think this must be the most pizza shops per capita in the HRM! I decided to save Middle Sackville for next…

Review: CHKN CHOP
Review by Murray Wong CHKN CHOP 6041 North St, Halifax Food trends come and go, and when they do come to Halifax, it’s usually with a bit (re. four years) of a delay. While rotisserie chicken isn’t exactly a trend, it’s very much a thing in Quebec. A very, very big thing. St. Hubert and Scores dominate…

Adventures in Chicago Pizza
I’ve been to Chicago 3 times since 2011, and each time I’m there I delve into the impossibly amazing food scene. Three trips and I’m still working on the basics: Chicago pizza, hot dogs, and Italian beefs, with some burgers and barbecue for good measure. When it comes to Chicago pizza, you can find everything…

Iconic Foods of Canada: Alberta
Oh, to be Alberta bound. Some go for the oil jobs, others for the mountains, (myself, for the wondrous foods of Alberta!) but there’s something for everyone. There’s Star Trek and Dinosaurs! There’s salt springs and skiing! There’s ranch land and rodeos! Hell, up until last year there was even a gay rodeo. Alberta is…

Iconic Foods of Canada: Saskatchewan
Of the prairie provinces, Saskatchewan is the MOST prairie. It’s the flattest, wheatiest, and squarest of them all. Sounds kinda like a breakfast cereal, amirite? Speaking of breakfast, Saskatchewan brings home the bread. Literally. It is the “breadbasket of Canada” and one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat. It’s also loaded with chickpeas, barley,…

150 Canadian Foods for Canada 150!
What is Canadian cuisine? Is it just a mirror of American cuisine with all of its spaghetti and hamburgers, but none of its amazing barbecue? Is Canadian cuisine a multicultural potluck or a creole? Is it more defined by our wild foods and agriculture (farm-to-table) or by our street foods and family traditions? Is there…

Iconic Foods of Canada: Ontario
Ontario is the largest province in Canada, in terms of both population and size. It is home to Toronto (Canada’s largest city), the Great Lakes, the CN Tower and the Horseshoe Falls. There’s even a giant nickle. That’s a lot of big stuff! This is also where we find the nation’s capital, Ottawa, where 4/20…
