With over 250 locations in Canada, Boston Pizza is pretty well-known. Although their food has been reviewed many times over, I decided to write this post to share my favourite choices at Boston Pizza. Boston Pizza’s food is quite good. I have tried a few appetizers like the cactus cut potatoes and the Thai chicken…
I apologize in advance for whining. But excuse me – what happened to the buffalo chicken wraps at McDonald’s? Does anyone know why they would take the best McWrap off the menu? I want to rant over an issue that completely ruined my appetite. I’m not a regular McDonalds consumer, but a month or two…
Spring is in the air, and a hint of warmth begins to replace the cold, dreary weather. Spring is the perfect time of year for a weekend stroll outside, and 17 Avenue, which boasts a variety of boutiques and shops, is a fantastic choice for such a walk around. While one might think to head…
While scrolling through the internet, I found this set of intriguing pictures of countries made with various foods. Created by photographer Henry Hargreaves and New-York based food stylist Caitlin Levin, the culinary photographers call the food maps project “a playful representation of out interpretation of food from around the world.” The foods used in each…
My friend is a huge fan of kefir, a probiotic bacteria similar to yogurt. So I asked myself what all the rave was about. Thus, I present with a blog! There are several benefits of using kefir that you probably don’t know about. Kefir is a source of probiotics. These help keep you healthy in…
From March 7-16, Calgary foodies and food-newbies alike were able to discover restaurants around the city during The Big Taste. Essentially, The Big Taste is an event where participating restaurants have a set menu (often with a few options) of three courses for a fairly reasonable, set price. Dinners were generally $35, lunches $15, and some restaurants offered…
In my quest for the ultimate Vietnamese cuisine, I recently visited Thai Tai. The service at Thai Tai was fairly good. The waiter came by several times to check how we were doing. When ordering, I was able to get a few changes to the food I ordered. Overall service at Thai Tai is fast-paced,…
Tim Horton’s has nothing on this place! In a tiny nook in southeast Calgary there sits an amazing cafe called the Cornerstone Music Cafe. I was unaware of this great place until I came over to it during YYC’s Hot Chocolate Fest, where I managed to drink in the indulgence that was my Hot Mayan…
The Teppanyaki-style restaurant Sakana Grill is one of my favourite places to eat, and for a good reason. First of all, the menu is large, creative and accommodating to everyone. I recommend ordering an Udon Noodle soup, a sushi boat or even some Teriyaki Chicken. I personally guarantee that they are good. Overall the food…
I think we’ve all heard the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While an apple may not necessarily be the thing preventing you from a doctor’s visit, it sure is a great source of vitamin C. Apples are enjoyable and healthy on their own, but sometimes we can indulge in delicious apple…
This article is definitely not about Starbucks, much to your potential dismay. Starbucks has had its fair share of media attention, most recently, the launch of “Dumb Starbucks” in Los Feliz, Los Angeles. With a visit to Crepes and Cravings today, I discovered that Starbucks isn’t the only company that can dazzle and amaze you…

The other day I was looking for a quick, easy, on-the-go sort of breakfast, and quite frankly, there’s only so many smoothies I can make until I get a little bored. So instead, I thought I’d do a little experiment. I wanted to make blueberry muffins, and at Annie’s Cafe where I used to work…
Today, I decided that I would show you guys and interesting website that I had come across during the weekend. Several flags from various countries around the world are highlighted. You might think this sounds boring, but wait until you hear the rest. Each of these flags are made…
Laurier Lounge is known as a high quality French restaurant. I did not find it to be as high quality as it should have been. The service was excellent and attentive, but was a bit slow. The menu is very limited so I recommend you check out the menu prior to going to this restaurant,…
