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…

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…

HFX Ramen Quest Pt. 1: Truly Tasty vs. B-Well Sushi
Hello! A while back I polled Twitter and Facebook to see what kind of quest people wanted to see on Eat This Town. The overwhelming response was ramen, followed by phở and sushi.

Fish n’ Chips at Fries and Co. (Revisted)
Fries and Co. 2603 Connolly St. Rating: Good. (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I last visited Fries and Co. in the summer of 2013, which was only a couple years into a change in ownership. Melanie and Ken Francis took over the biz in 2011, and tinkered with the recipes to…

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…
