Drink Up: Beef Bone Broth FTW
In preparation of the impending side effects I knew would come from chemo, I ran myself ragged trying to keep on top of work deadlines and readying my kitchen to sustain me through the downtime. I was hoping to make a batch of bone broth but had run out of time. When...
Two Sergeants – CBC Review
The first time I walked into this cavernous brewpub, I wasn't quite sure what to make of the decor. I've never been a fan of the primary colour scheme. It works for playgrounds and children's hospitals, but seldom for event spaces where adults convene for food and...
Chef Hung – CBC Review
Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle in Edmonton marks the 11th Chef Hung restaurant to open in the partnership between Hung Ching-Lung and the B.C.-based Fairchild Group. Ching-Lung is a three-time winner of the Taipei International Beef Noodle Festival Competition...
Artisti Pizza – CBC Review
A couple of Italian guys, each with their own dream to open a pizza shop once they got to Canada, have done just that. Artisti Pizza opened a few months back, in the Holland Plaza. The space is huge, the pies are tasty and the drinks are cheap. For all the details,...

XO Bistro – CBC Review
This post is about XO Bistro, a Vietnamese restaurant in Edmonton, but please indulge me for a minute, first. I recently returned from five weeks in Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. I travelled with another food writer and suffice it to say, we ate a lot. An...
OEB Edmonton – CBC Review
It's finally happened. OEB, the popular brunch place from down south (Calgary), has set up shop in Edmonton. This is good news, right? We definitely need more brunch spots here. I consumed a lot of calories in my three visits. If you're going to fix a hangover, this...
Copper Branch – CBC Review
Copper Branch fills a niche by offering plant-based quick service foods at an affordable price point. The first location opened in December 2018 at 10316 Jasper Avenue; the second at 2205 101 Street in South Edmonton opened a couple of months later. Read more about...
