The sandwich showcase is a series dedicated to notable Halifax sandwiches, so I felt I should explore the sandwich that sits proudly in the The Coast’s “Best of Food Hall of Fame”. That’s right, the Clubhouse Sandwich category was retired in 2011. What makes the Pub Club worthy of such accolades? I had to find out. First of all, this […]
For those just tuning in, this is the third installment of the Halifax Pizza Quest! Make sure to check out the rigorous accounts of South End Halifax and the Battle of Quinpool Road. Our methodology involves ordering a medium pizza with pepperoni and green pepper at each pizza joint and consuming them as simultaneously and thoughtfully as possible (something we’re still […]
Recently I got to guinea pig a bunch of Local Tasting Tours’ pre-season tours, including the brand new HFX North Craft Beer and Food Tour! In case you haven’t heard of Local Tasting Tours, they are Halifax’s only culinary walking tour company – led by former waitress/actress and long distance walker, Emily Forrest. It’s a great way for both tourists […]
Halifax’s newest chocolate shop just had its grand opening last Saturday, and I was their first customer! Rousseau Chocolatier, located next to Piatto on Hollis Street, is selling handmade chocolates, macarons, chocolate bars and gourmet brownies. They are also serving espressos, lattes and authentic hot chocolate – the real stuff, made from melted Belgian chocolate. No worries, vegans, there is […]
Saturday, April 26 marked the first ever Pictou County Pizza Competition, a Rotary Club fundraiser held in New Glasgow to determine who makes the best Pictou County Pizza. $25 was good for pizza samples from 8 different restaurants and 2 beers from Uncle Leo’s Brewery, as well as the chance to win door prizes, trivia, and a 50/50 draw. What […]
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, […]
Good news! Burger Week has been extended due to the current storm. Click here for a list of the restaurants that will still be participating on Thursday. Unfortunately, the burgers I’m about to show you are not on the list. Yesterday marked my last planned Burger Crawl. I met up with MGyver and Tinfoil at Dee Dee’s where we had […]
So, I was on TV. I won the Coast’s Burger Ambassador contest somehow, and got to have a little 5 mins of burger fame. You can watch the full clip here. After a long day of burgering on Sunday, I decided it was time for a break. Of course, by “taking a break” I meant switching my proteins. The truth is, I […]
Day 4 was the big day! I did a big ‘ol burger crawl of downtown Halifax with my friends Em, Talix, and Tinfoil (of Burger Quest 2013). We started at 1pm, forgetting that Halifax practically closes down on Sunday afternoons! We found the Argyle open, and ordered “The Local”: Oulton’s ground beef, shredded NS lamb, poblano peppers, monterey jack cheese, avocado, […]
