Urbano Pizza Co. – Restaurant Review
If you can't find a place that makes pizza exactly how you want it, then Urbano Pizza has the solution: build it yourself. Christian Mena and Lino Oliviera of Sabor Divino and Bodega, opened the doors to Urbano Pizza Co. in early June at 10220 - 103 Street. The long...
Where to Eat and Drink in Palm Springs
Palm Springs has it all: the perfect climate (if you like hot and dry), perfect golf courses (if you like golf), titilating history (if you like Hollywood glamour and naughty pool parties), the perfect architecture (if you like Mid Century Modern), and the perfect...
Restaurant Review – The Black Pearl Seafood Bar
Praise Poseidon, Edmonton's seafood drought is over! The Black Pearl Seafood Bar, owned and run by the offspring of Guisuppe Crudo of the much-respected Cafe Amore, recently opened its doors downtown on 104 Street. The interior is unlike anything in Edmonton and the...

The Power of Wine: Clos Pegase at The Royal Glenora
I've been contemplating a trip to Napa Valley, California. It's been seven years since I went and remains, to this day, one of my favourite food and wine experiences, ever. Time keeps ticking, and I travel a lot, but it seems I can't get anywhere near Napa. So, when...

The Burger’s Priest: How Unorthodox!
Tongues are wagging over The Burger's Priest Toronto chain-phenom that set up in Edmonton last month. This marks the eighth location but the first one outside of Ontario. There's a burger hole in Edmonton, and Shant Mardirosian has set his sights to fill it. Forgive...
