The Keg Edmonton, AB - tasty steaks, creme brulée needs some work

Posted by

Raing Service 8/10, Food 7.75/10
Its been ages since I've been to the Keg mainly because of a bad experience involving a super charred and overcooked steak a while back at the Whtye Ave location, but we figured we'd give it a whirl again - this time we went to the South Commons location.  We were greeted with dark wood tables and chairs, a bustling dim dining room, cheerful lit fireplaces and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Rating Food 8.5/10, Service 8.5/10
With a craving and fond memories of the delicious grilled cheese we had last time at Corso 32, and drooling at the pics TastingTraveller took of the truffled ravioli, it was a no brainer we had to head back to Corso 32. Just to be through of course! :)

After spotting the bright neon pink massage parlour sign just above Corso 32's venue (hey, its a good landmark!) and a Transcend franchise joint right beside it, we went into the restuarant with the air already redolent with the scent of buuter, cheese and tomatoes... Yum!

Kimchee's Pre-Wedding Snacks, Smoked meats yumminess and bridal shower tastiness!

Posted by

For an upcoming wedding of my girlfriend Kimchee, we've been hard at work the past couple months with the wedding planning-decoration making-scrapbooking monster chewing up most of our weekends and every scrap of free time... so much so, that some of our significant others have (not so?) jokingly commented that we must be seeing someone else... our girlfriends lol! So what would our creative and sometimes frantic sessions of wedding work be without proper nourishment, drinks, and in this case, lots of ribbons, flowers and girly stuff?

Rating Food 8/10, Service 8/10
Craving a homecooked style meal and freshly baked treats - choooooocolate!  We headed down to Vi's for Pies - no matter when we go, we always seem to miss it and have to loop back. We gawked like little kids at the display case (a tradition I think everyone does when they walk in) loaded with a variety of sinfully decadent cakes, pies and squares before self seating ourselves close to the fireplace.  We quickly order food as those desserts are just flying out of the counter like magic!

Eat Real YYC Food Trucking Event Calgary, AB... next up Edmonton's What the Truck Food Truck Extravaganza and Al Fresco block party June 9, 2012!

Posted by

Food trucks, initially a novelty with mediocre at best food has evolved over the years with tasty niche foods for most food truckers along with its own strong following of fans. Some serve snacks, some serve entire meals, while some... just seem to breed and appear on almost every street corner - a snackers dream. In Calgary last weekend, they had the Eat Real YYC food trucking event, where plenty food trucks gathered at Casel Marche, a new super market that just opened on 17th Avenue... along with so many people, they looked like ants charging towards a picnic basket. It was super packed, with about 8 food trucks packed into a narrow street, and hundreds of people lining up to get food before it sells out. We got there at 1230...and divided and conquered - with the 3 of us each lining up for a different truck.
