And the main highlight.... A little something special which I missed from previous rotations: @closbarre chicken nuggets! Fulfill all your nug dreamz with these. They look and feel like the chicken nuggets you know, but oh are they so much better than the ones in your memories. Man do these bring a tear to my eye. Had a lovely catch up with @miss_foodie last night at one of her fav places in town, @closbarre. An imaginatively rotating menu. A difficult week needs a little release with friends. Drinks at @thebridgettebar, dinner at @noblepiepizza, drinks at @charlies.watch.repair, a lovely visit with the ladies at @dopyyc, and then a nightcap at @calcuttacricket. A little extended shout out from my last post to Paisley and Julie in the FoH at @ankorcanmore - such lovely ladies and great wine knowledge. I'm by no means an oneophile, nor am I extensively knowledgeable in that field, but when @chefneilmccue insists on getting a specific bottle he hasn't seen in years, and they can select a bottle which holds my attention away from the whiskey shelf, it only demonstrates a well put together experience. I had a lovely solo birthday dinner last month at @ankorcanmore. They have refined operations even more since my visit during the summer, cementing them as a truly world class dining experience (IMHO) in our backyard. Expertly prepared food, impeccable service truly make this restaurant a gem. A delicious array of dishes at the warm and revised @calcuttacricket v2.0 in their new location on 1st Street SW. Did a little visit to @primarycolourscafe with @karenashbee (happy b-day!) And @miss_foodie. Thanks for a fun night! Great to see the team and @matthias.fong! Shhh.... Don't tell, but I sneaked into the 2.0 version of @calcuttacricket at the new first street SW location a bit early to check out the space. 💖💖💖💖 Dropped into @aamanepalesecuisine for their yak short ribs and soybean salad. Tender delicious short ribs (you'd swear it was lean sous vide beef ribs if you didn't read the menu) with subtle Nepalese spices. I'd eat this on a regular basis if I could.
