A lovely confit duck leg at @saltandbrickyyc. The best part about duck is that crispy, crispy skin. So well executed and a great start to a long weekend! Food and drink can make a great restaurant. But it's the people who make an amazing experience. That's what I'll always remember about @dopyyc in its former incarnation. Last service at @dopyyc. The staff knew what I had to get. Gonna miss the vibe but looking forward to the new place! Had a lovely dinner at @sot_yyc in Inglewood (the old W.O.P. space) last night with @miss_foodie; quite impressed at their composure for their second service. They serve the essence of Korean food executed with western styling and techniques resulting in carefully thought out and relatable dishes, on a seasonal menu. Congrats @pizzaletty @dramonr @chefjerbear on your opening! Poor little birdie smacked into my window and sat on my patio for a good 10 minutes trying to regain its senses before flying off. Dining is an experience which uses all 5 senses... A little pomp and circumstance once in a while isn't a bad thing. However, it is nothing without substance and delivery. I've grown to like this style of eating. Rice, soup, and a bunch of little side dishes. It's stimulating to have different flavour combinations with each bite, just like a tasting menu. You can still find a moment in the middle of 9.7 million people. Good city design is important.
