Don "The Larry Flynt Of Food Porn" B.'s Profile
Alberta On My Mind
See All Lists
1. Joshua Tree Cafe
Joshua Tree provides a nice, clean space with reliable wifi and a decent selection of coffees, teas and other drinks. They also offer up a more robust food menu than I am used to seeing at coffee shops, which is a nice bonus. However all I can really…More »
2. Boogies Burgers
This place is classic -- straight up 1980's burger joint. From the old-school diner feel to the Powell/Peralta poster on the wall to the Arkanoid arcade game stashed in a corner it screams "burgerama." And the menu matches 100%. Think huge,…More »
3. Big Hill Springs Provincial Park
What a fun little provincial park. Some short trails, nice scenery, peaceful wooded setting, lots of little waterfalls, funky rock formations, and, well, a nice short trail for walking (not quite hiking) and getting some fresh air outside of downtown…More »
4. Hotel Arts
Hotel Arts is a pretty fancy hotel. Nice design and style, comfy racks with plenty of room to roam, art on the walls, music ranging form deep ambient techno to... classical? in the lobby, a hip swank pool in the lobby and a couple of high-end…More »
5. Diner Deluxe
Legit New American/Canadian Traditional American/Canadian Diner Food! Is that a category of food that actually exists? If so, Diner Deluxe has it fairly well nailed. This retro-esque hip spot has a menu that reads like a hangover's cloudy-but-good…More »
6. Calgary International Airport
YYC is a pretty decent airport for its size. There are okay amenities, it's clean, the folks are fairly nice, and did I mention it's clean? And flying out on a weekday afternoon everything is nice and mellow. But there are a few gripes I have with…More »
7. Design District Urban Tavern
When I die I want to be embalmed with gravy and buried in cheese curds.
And when I pass on to the other side my immortal soul will end up in a place that serves unlimited quantities of build-your-own poutine. A poutine that's structured on hand-cut…More »

I like. I really like. This brand new spot in Calgary on 17th is just the kind of place that makes me feel right at home. I'm not sure if it's the inviting Plantation design of the interior, the delicious and innovative craft-cocktail menu, or the…More »
9. The Pourhouse Bier Bistro
The Pourhouse is not what I expected to find along a street like Whyte. But I don't know much about Whyte other than what I hear in local lore and what I see on the surface, so what the hell do I know?
Anyway, while in Edmonton for a couple of days I…More »
10. The Black Dog Freehouse
This is where the party is at. Even on a Monday night. At 1145pm. Where the special is pints for $3.75 and shots at a matching price. For of a dime-note you can get yourself a shot of Jameson and a brew. And everyone between the ages of 18 and…More »
11. Remedy Cafe
Oh hello there, Kashmiri Chai! How are you? Where did that delicious full-bodied flavor come from? And your green coloring? Hmmm,what sort of magical deliciousness is this that I had not previously experienced? Did you just make this up, Remedy, or…More »
12. Edmonton International Airport
Far from the city center, with no public transit to speak of, this airport is out standing in its field. Literally. But definitely not outstanding in its field. Why?
No free wifi.
Oh, the signs say "free wifi" but I shouldn't have to be the one to…More »
13. Burlington-On-Whyte
Why is it that we love the things we can't have? I guess it's that "grass-is-greener" mentality - the things that are taboo to us seem the sexiest. But in this case, I don't think it's unhealthy, and I believe I'm right to covet that which I am…More »
14. Metterra Hotel On Whyte
The Mettera is Strathcona's upscale boutique hotel. Well, at least one of them. It actually has a sister property a few blocks down the street. Nestled right on Whyte, amidst the chaos of bars, clubs, pubs, boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops,…More »
15. Chili's
It's a Chili's. Have you ever been to a Chili's? If you haven't, well, I don't know what to say. It's corporate tex-mex food... especially the airport locations. But show me an airport that doesn't have something even halfway decent food-wise and…More »
16. Steeps Urban Teahouse
Steady WiFi, a huge selection of interesting loose-leaf teas available in multiple sizes, matcha lattes, quirky, comfortable seating areas and a chill environment. What more could you need in a teahouse?!
Recently on a trip to Edmonton I needed a…More »
17. Drum & Monkey
Until my visit to the Drum & Monkey I had never ever seen anyone spinning nu-metal tracks using Serato Scratch Live. Seriously.
This bar was right near my hotel in Calgary and in need of a place to sit, grab a drink and get a little work done, I…More »
