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 there’s that. I had been […]
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 + half = 1). I miraculously, […]
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 tasty sandwich…. err… “hero”. The […]
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. However, unlike other hedonists Epicurus actually believed that pleasure is derived from the avoidance of over-indulgence that so often leads to pain and suffering. He did […]
Norbert’s Good Food (of Selwood Green Farm) takes up residence at the Seaport Market. Fresh, organic home grown veggies are the main players here, supported by local meats and breads. The OMG Egg Croissant Sandwich is a best seller and the signature breakfast meal. “A single organic or free range egg omelet featuring That Dutchman’s gouda cheese, Roselane Farm bacon, […]
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 thanks to Therrol who did […]
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 Foot Longs. Have you ever […]
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 father is not the type […]
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 Cape Breton to have a […]
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 into the Minas Basin. There […]
