Laurier Lounge can easily be missed if you aren't looking for it hard enough. Kind of tucked behind the Safeway it stands there on its own radiating an old school charm. Although I find it a little odd when you first walk to the steps to hear music…More »

It was a trying time figuring where I should celebrate my birthday this year and thankfully my wonderful Yelpster homies (specifically Sabz) helped me decide on where I should eat and thus I chose Double Zero Pizza.

First of all I have to thank Double…More »

After reading the reviews for Pacini on Yelp I decided to try this place out for myself. I went with a group of friends (about 6 of us altogether) and we were placed in a booth which is fine except it's awkward for the servers to reach to pour…More »

After having a hectic day doing what I do and having to evacuate the building due to a fire alarm I was exhausted and famished. Leaving work the only thing that kept replaying in my head like a bad one hit wonder song was the fact that I was going to…More »

After having a horrendous time over at the Barley Mill with a sub-par steak and a mediocre service I knew I wanted to have a re-do somewhere else. When the opportunity came to go have some steak I came to The Keg.

This Keg location I have been to for…More »

4.0 star rating
  1/9/2012

For cheap pasta Chianti is definitely a spot I can hit up when I'm thirsty for some Italian. Regardless of anyone elses opinions on whether or not they think this place is authentic really holds no regards to me as a normal eater of food to me;…More »

Where do you draw the line between liking a place and disliking a place?

Every few Sundays I wake up, not knowing where I really am and after a few minutes of panicking I find myself in my own bed, hungover with my stomach growling like a beast and…More »

My all time favorite poutine place in Calgary next to the Alley Burger Poutine. This little gem is located in almost NE corner of Calgary near McKnight Blvd.

I've really never had pulled pork sandwich before but I do love Guy Fieri's  Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and every time that I watch that show and he does an episode on Smoked BBQ I can feel my taste buds releasing their own saliva while I pretend I…More »

Finally had the chance to visit District last Friday for one of my best friend's birthdays. We had a party of about 17 which is pretty big so I was interested to see how they would make out with such a big party as ours. Slowly our friends trickled…More »

  12/10/2011

Joey Barlow is my safe spot, what I mean by that is when we can't decide where want to eat we always end up at Joey's. Not because Joey's has the best food in the city or that it's service rivals the best of the best but truly because my experience…More »

Where to begin...

I was at Chop for my company's 'holiday' get-together where all of our company's staff members all over the city came to celebrate the end of the year. I like how Chop is set up looks great, design wise works and the high ceilings…More »
