As part of my commitment to being an ally in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, I wanted to share a list of Black-owned food businesses that you can support in Edmonton.

Graham’s Jerkhouse

May 29, 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

Jerk chicken is one dish that I often crave but cannot always easily get. There are definitely a few great spots in the city to grab Jamaican food but they’re not always the most accessible for me, personally. So when I discovered Graham’s Jerkhouse on Instagram, it felt like I hit the jackpot because they […]

One great thing I’ve seen coming out of this crazy time is the select number of small online businesses that have started; it’s always nice to see new options out there! All of these businesses offer dishes that are delivered right to your doorstep and ordering is only a click away. They’re also generally ready […]

Looking for a hidden gem? Rae Mi Hyang is it! This locally owned, Korean-Chinese restaurant isn’t new by any means but it was my first time visiting (pre-pandemic) and I thought their food was excellent so I wanted to share what they had to offer.

Sepp’s Pizza

Let’s talk about my latest go-to pizza spot: Sepps Pizza! It started out with me seeing their pizzas all over my social media and I have to say… after a few visits, they’ve definitely lived up to all the good things I’ve heard about them. During this time where takeout/delivery is practically our only choice […]

Shojo Izakaya has been on my list of places to try for a few months now! Ever since their grand opening, I’ve been eager to give this spot a try as I love izakayas, to begin with. I was able to stop by before this whole pandemic changed the norm for everyone and thought I’d […]

Calle Mexico started off with a food truck and they’ve now expanded their business to three locations: the first location in downtown, a spot in the WEM foodcourt, and now a restaurant space in south Edmonton, just off Whyte Ave. This locally owned restaurant serves up authentic Mexican dishes and having tried their food before, […]

Travel with Sharon: Toronto Eats

February 20, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

Last summer, I visited Toronto for the first time ever and I left the city stuffed. Being such a large city, there are SO many places to check out and I really don’t think it’s possible to make it to every spot in one visit. Plus, there is always new places popping up! However, if […]

Gyu Kaku

There’s a lot of new up and coming food options in the downtown core. If you take a look along Jasper Ave and 104 St, you’ll be right in the heart of some really great food options…one restaurant that may peak your attention is Gyu Kaku!

Won Jung Gak (closed)

February 4, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

With so many new Korean restaurants opening up, I almost forgot about an old classic: Won Jung Gak. It wasn’t until one of my friends suggested we have lunch there that I remembered how great it still is! Won Jung Gak was the first Korean spot I ever visited a few years back and now […]
