If you’ve been following me for a while now, you might know that I often frequent Al Salam Pita Bakery! It’s one of my favourite places to grab food and it’s easily one of my top picks for Mediterranean eats in Edmonton (especially South Edmonton where there’s limited options). Their chicken shawarma platter is THE […]
New restaurant alert! Boxer – Albertan Kitchen & Bar has recently opened their doors, taking over Holy Roller’s old space. From the same team who brought us The Alamanac and Solstice, Boxer’s menu features craft cocktails and seasonal fare made with local ingredients. I went here for a catch up date with a friend and […]
As we navigate the new normal, I continue to come across different online, home-based small businesses. Over the last few weeks, I’ve had a serious sweet tooth and have also been lucky to receive some gifted treats too. After some indulging, I thought I’d take the opportunity to highlight a few new ones that I […]
River Cree Resort & Casino has debuted a new restaurant and I was invited to their media launch night for an opportunity to preview some of their dishes.

In comparison to other Korean spots, Machef does offer a smaller menu but don’t let that stop you from checking them out. The food is really good and the service/atmosphere was […]
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.
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 […]
