It’s Pizzafest Time!

I like pizza! I mean…most people like pizza, it’s one of north america’s most popular foods for a reason. But I like pizza to the point where it’s about to be difficult to rate them in this post. The worst pizza I have ever had – overdone cardboard crust, bland everything else – I’d still rate as 4/10 meaning I …

Stampede Food Reviews Part 2

I didn’t expect to return to Stampede, but I did, and so here is some more food. Chili Lime Popcorn Shrimp Price: $17.50 This was very good. Each of the ingredients complimented each other perfectly, and it was one of the more complex dishes at stampede. The portion was quite sizeable, the picture made it look a bit small, but …

Stampede Food Review 2022

It’s that time of year again! Just like last year I (alongside my wife and a friend) went to the Calgary Stampede grounds, tried all the new food that interested us, and are sharing my thoughts.

YYC Hot Chocolate Fest Week 3

Another week of YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, another week of tastings. Dark Chocolate & Cherry Burst by Flower & Wolf This one was quite the treat, is a strong rival with Cravings for my favorite.

YYC Hot Chocolate Fest Week 2

This Saturday my wife and a friend and I went out to try some more hot chocolates! We wanted to try more, but life has been busy. Here are my thoughts. These were taken to go, so their pictures won’t quite match the official. Caramello Tartlette by Ladybug Bakery & Cafe The cafe itself was lovely, I definitely want to …

It’s YYC Hot Chocolate Month

Every February in Calgary is YYC Hot Chocolate Fest. Dozens of cafes and restaurants create custom hot chocolates for this month, and $1 from every purchase goes to support Meals On Wheels. Trying new delectable concoctions while helping a charitable organization, what’s not to love! Similar to my Stampede Food review, I’ve decided to write up my thoughts on each …

Stampede Day 2 of 2 – Finale

We did it! On Saturday Marissa was feeling better and we decided to visit the Stampede – her first time there! We tried a bunch of food, walked around, enjoyed looking at the rides (but didn’t feel like going on them) and enjoyed the various misters several times over. 1. Butter Chicken Bites AGAIN (Tikka N Tequila) Since they were …

Stampede Day 1 of 2 – Scouting

So today my wife Marissa had some work done on her teeth, and she can’t eat anything solid today and maybe for the next couple of days. Today is also the first day of the Calgary Stampede, which Marissa has never been to. Additionally, we also had two early bird tickets this year because we got drive-thru mini-doughnuts last year …
