Last Friday, we kicked off our 2013 What the Truck?! season with a Ginger Beef Throwdown. Partnering with the Royal Alberta Museum , the event was organized in conjunction with the current Chop Suey on the Prairies exhibit, which examines the history of Chinese restaurants in our province in the twentieth century. Although we knew [...]

While the City Market is my go-to destination for seasonal produce and other groceries, the 124 Street Grand Market is a great mid-week destination for a fun evening out. In its first year, it did a great job highlighting the fact that a market isn’t just a shopping hub, but also a place for people [...]

Since the Red Shoe Crawl started two years ago, it’s been great to watch the event grow and establish itself in Edmonton. A fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House of Northern Alberta, the Red Shoe Crawl is a fun way to visit a neighbourhood by sampling your way through businesses within walking distance of one [...]

On April 20, 2013, we held our third annual Eat Alberta food conference at NAIT. It was our biggest event ever, with 120 registered attendees. Perogy making with Chef David Omar of Zinc We know changes are never embraced by everyone, but for the most part we think the implementation of a set track registration [...]

This is a bit of a composite “Date Night” post, as I had planned for a pre-symphony visit to The Cavern before an outing to the Winspear Centre last Friday. But an intense craving for wine and cheese hit me on Thursday, and I gave in. The Cavern is the newest storefront to open up [...]

What: Ginger Beef Throwdown When: May [...]

Occupation: Dish Editor/Staff Writer at Vue Weekly What did you eat today? Granola and yogurt for breakfast, a steak and goat cheese wrap for lunch and tilapia with steamed vegetables and rice for dinner. What do you never eat? I’m always open to trying new things when it comes to food, but I can’t say [...]

When I heard that Red Ox Inn would be opening a more casual sister establishment to their charming but upscale Strathern location, I was excited. Not only did it speak to the burgeoning nature of the 124 Street district (which has become a destination for the food-inclined), but it also speaks to a trend of [...]

To celebrate the start of construction at their upcoming storefront in the McLeod Building, the folks behind Woodwork decided to throw a pop-up party in another historic location! Mack and I headed to the Rossdale Brewery last night for the festivities. Rossdale Brewery The event started at 8pm, and we were glad we decided to [...]

One of Edmonton’s best kept food secrets has to be Evoolution’s monthly tasting events. Though I had seen them advertised at the specialty oil and vinegar store itself, I hadn’t read much about the tastings online. Perhaps there is a good reason for that – given only a dozen people can be accommodated at each [...]
