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…

Halifax Nacho Quest: North End
The goal of the Halifax Nacho Quest is to discover the best nachos in the city. A group of 6-10 participants embark on a pub-crawl-like adventure, tackling one street at a time, and seeking out nachos wherever they may be.

Nova Scotia Food Profiles: Peanut Butter Burgers
The peanut butter burger’s ooey gooey allure has permeated Halifax burger culture ever since Darrell’s popularized the concept in the 90’s. A visitor to Halifax is often wary of the oft repeated call to action: “You gotta try the peanut butter burger at Darrell’s! It’s a Halifax must.” Peanut butter? On a burger?! Far out,…

Fish ‘n Chips at Willman’s (Revisted)
Willman’s Fish & Chips 5644 Kane St, Halifax, NS Rating: Meh. (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I originally reviewed Willman’s in 2013. It was only my second fish ‘n chips review and I was admittedly inexperienced. Now that I have more reviews under my belt (and a bigger belt!) I’m…

Sandwich Showcase: Philly Steak Pita at Tarek’s
Tarek’s Cafe 3045 Robie St, Halifax This was my first time eating at Tarek’s despite a constant stream of recommendations coming from my social media channels. I was starting to feel not just like a bad blogger but a bad Haligonian. “What’s good?” I’d ask. “Everything” was usually the reply, but I’ve been trying to…

Brunch at Mappatura Bistro
My family have been fans of Chef Terry Vassallo ever since his days at Trattoria Della Nonna in Lunenburg, where we came to expect generous portions of seafood with Italian flair. We followed him to Cafe Chianti where his Linguine di Pescatore was a big hit. Terry has recently opened his own restaurant with his partner, Simone…

Best Meals of 2016
It’s been a doozy of a year with some great highs (Go Cubs!) and some lows (ya know… let’s not dwell). I took trips to Alberta, Ireland, Baie Sainte-Marie (Clare) and Cape Breton, started a new relationship (hi LuShark!) and won the title of Best Food Blogger in The Coast’s Best of Halifax, alongside good…

Fish ‘n Chips at Phil’s Seafood (Revisit)
Phil’s Seafood 6285 Quinpool Rd, Halifax Rating: Some Good. (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I originally reviewed Phil’s Seafood in 2013. You can read that review here or I can sum up that post for you now: “It’s pretty good, I guess”. The most disappointing part of that meal was…
