Lovoni Walker Article in More Magazine
My article about Edmonton Chef and TV Food Show Host Lovoni Walker is in this month's More magazine. There's much more to this gal than meets the eye but I will say this, it has something to do with prison. A-ha! To find out, you're going to have to go out and pick up...
Tienda Latina/Argyll Foods: Mexican (and more) Food Store in Edmonton
I needed to stop by Argyll Foods to see first-hand what all this “Tienda Latina” fuss was about. Apparently, the name, Argyll Foods, was confusing a lot of people. Many knew it was the place to purchase culinary items for Latino dishes, but lots of people still...
More Dumplings and Real Deal Meats News

Tomato Fare at Country Road Greenhouses
I've driven by this property a thousand times and can kick myself now for never stopping in. Thanks to Liane Faulder's write up in the Journal about the Tomato Fare which ran today from 4 to 7 pm at Country Road Greenhouses (just outside of Sherwood Park), I will pass...
Zinc at the Edmonton Art Gallery
Even though the consensus out there is mixed—as far as reviews go—we thought we’d give Zinc, the restaurant at the Edmonton Art Gallery, a try. It was a weekday night and only a handful of tables were occupied. The restaurant decor is minimalistically chic and...
