Fairview Pizza Quest
Since we included Rockingham within Clayton Park I figured it would make enough sense to include Armdale within the Fairview Pizza Quest. The Armdale pizza shops: Euro Pizza Armdale Pizza (*Now Closed) (Yes, we did these before on the West End Halifax Pizza Quest but we are revisiting them here). The Fairview pizza shops: Velos…

Fish ‘n Chips at Gazoo’s
Gazoo’s Take-Out 5361 Marine Dr, Porters Lake, NS Rating: 6.5/10 A while back I ventured to Gaetz Brook for what would be a failed chowder mission, and ended up in Porter’s Lake eating fish ‘n chips at Gazoo’s. Gazoo’s Take-Out is just a little shack on the side of the road, with picnic tables and…

Fish ‘n Chips at Shaw’s Landing
Shaw’s Landing 6958 Peggys Cove Road, West Dover, NS Rating: 8.5/10 I took LuShark out for her first trip to Peggy’s Cove and we planned on feasting at Fisherman’s Corner, which, as it turns out, no longer exists.

Clayton Park Pizza Quest
In 2014 I did a Halifax Peninsula Pizza Quest. In 2015 I conquered Dartmouth. Now in 2016 I’m going to tackle Clayton Park, Fairview and Spryfield! I have been told that this quest should be called the Clayton Park/Rockingham Quest but that’s a long title so call it what you want. (Truth: I never knew…

Brunch at Studio East
Studio East 6021 Cunard St, Halifax I recently took my pal MGyver out for a belated birthday brunch. He suggested Studio East, having been nothing but impressed with his experiences there. I hadn’t been to Studio East yet, so I was all over that. I had been to Saronn’s Kitchen at the Seaport Market, purchasing her…

Nova Scotia Food Profiles: Garlic Fingers
Virtually every pizza shop in Atlantic Canada serves garlic fingers. This beloved regional food is so often taken for granted until people move away and are struck by its absence. Sure, “cheesy bread sticks” can be found in most towns but they’re just not the same. Garlic fingers are made on pizza dough which is slathered with…
