Mimi’s Pub and Restaurant – CBC Review
Mimi's Pub (11403 - 40 Avenue) is an aesthetically pleasing pub/restaurant on Edmonton's southside. Whenever an independent restaurant opens in an area typically populated with chain restaurants or no restaurants at all, I always get my hopes up that the food will be...
Fox Burger – CBC Review
Fox Burger is putting out the type of burgers you think about for days after. Why? What's so special about these burgers? If you know how Nate Box rolls (with food), you won't be surprised as to why I think these burgers are the bomb. Read my web article for all the...
A New Year, A New Role
Yesterday, on various social media platforms, the founder of Eat Local Magazine, Heather Muse, announced that I would be joining her and her talented team. I'll be taking on the role of editor, and I couldn't be more thrilled! From Heather: ✨Growth✨ Over the last year...
Bianco – CBC Review
I was pretty excited to hear that Dave Manna (the owner of Rosso Pizzeria) was opening his second restaurant, Bianco, in the Rice Howard Way area near Edmonton Centre. I'm a big fan of Rosso. Love those wood-fired pizzas! Bianco opened this past spring, so they've had...
CBC Edmonton – 2019, The Year in Review

Braven – CBC Review
Braven is one of four restaurant concepts inside the JW Marriott hotel in Edmonton's Ice District. I reviewed it on-air November 27. It's a grand room with a menu that revolves around steak, chops and seafood, much of that cooked on a beautiful birch wood-burning...
June’s Delicatessen – CBC Review
If you missed my CBC review of June's Delicatessen on November 15, here are some links to get you up to speed. Just to clarify, Nate Box's partner in this operation is Mike Forgie, not "Scorgie" as I said on the radio. That's a different Mike, so I apologize. You can...
Filistix – CBC Review
On November 1, I reviewed the brick and mortar location of Filistix. Cousins Ariel del Rosario and Roel Canafranca have garnered a loyal following since they first served meat on skewers from their Filistix food truck in 2008. At the new space on 100 Avenue, they...
