Brunch at the Stubborn Goat
Brunch is sadly not a weekly affair for me, so I regret to admit that I am not a brunch specialist. I swear that I’m working on it, in between burger week, pizza quests and sandwich sampling. I am a busy blogger! … and I haven’t had a source of income since last October, so…

Halifax Burger Week 2014 Round Up!
I never thought I’d say this, but I am definitely burgered out. In one week I sampled 21 burgers! …Yes, we often split our burgers into halves, but the sum total of my personal eating still amounts to about 16 burgers (The math: half + half = 1, 2 sliders = 1, slider +…

Sandwich Showcase: Meatball Hero from Salvatore’s
Don’t call it a sub. Seriously, don’t. It’s a hero – Sal’s is pretty adamant about that. And why shouldn’t they be? The meatball hero was called the “best sandwich in all of HRM” by Halifax ReTales’ 101 Best Things to Put in Your Mouth in HRM and I’d have to agree that it’s a damn…

Brunch at Epicurious Morsels
An “epicurean” is popularly defined as one who seeks pleasure, particularly in the form of food and drink. The word derives from ancient Greek philosopher, Epicurus, who taught that pleasure is the greatest good.

Most Memorable Meals of 2013
Happy New Year!… err…. that’s coming a little late, now isn’t it? I decided to treat myself to self-hosting and a new template for Christmas, so I’ve been busy over the holidays getting everything set up. The new Eat This Town just became live yesterday and I couldn’t be any more happy with it! Much…

HFX Foot Longs
Perhaps I was too ambitious in thinking I could complete a fish ‘n’ chips quest AND a hot dog quest this summer. There is a crispness in the air already, and I still have Part 2 of my fish ‘n’ chips quest to complete. However, I will present to you a cherished summer discovery: HFX…

Cape Breton Food Tour
Somewhat recently I was touring around Cape Breton with my family, who had asked for my expertise in planning the trip. Instead, I totally sabotaged the itinerary, turning our vacation into a food tour. My mother always says, “Now, I don’t want this whole trip to revolve around food!” (she knows me well). But my…

Cape Breton Pizza
Recently, I have become attuned to the chorus of transplanted Capers declaring that pizza is much better in Cape Breton than it is in Halifax. There is, apparently, a style of Cape Breton pizza. There are a couple problems with this sentiment. First, it requires Halifax to have a homogeneous pizza style. Second, it requires…

Nova Scotia Wine Tour 2013
Nova Scotia’s fledgling wine industry is booming, and no visit to this province is complete without a scenic drive through the Annapolis Valley visiting local wineries. The valley is a lush agricultural region, pastoral and sunny. The shores do not boast of beaches and rugged coastline, but of Acadian dykes, and muddy tidal rivers opening…
