DOSC – CBC Review
DOSC is a new restaurant on 104 Street. My friend Phil says the names sounds like a German heavy metal, punk rock band. If you say "DOSC" with the Teutonic force like the guy in the "how German sounds" video, you have to admit, Phil's got a point. The word, DOSC, is...
Prairie Grid Pop-Up Dinner Series 2018 – 6 chefs, 4 cities, 3 provinces

Rebel Food & Drink – CBC Review
Last winter, Century Hospitality Group took over the old Piccolino's bistro last year, gave it a complete (and necessary) makeover from top to bottom and opened as Rebel Food & Drink. In December, I joined a group of fellow food bloggers and writers for Rebel's...

A Picture Perfect Long Table Dinner with Brad Smoliak
Anyone with a remote interest in food should keep an eye on Brad Smoliak's long table dinners—well, not just keep an eye on them...actually get out and attend one. Brad and his crew have been doing these dinners for a few years but it was only last month that I...
