I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
My brother recently came to visit us in Ottawa and since he is also an avid craft beer lover, we had to bring him on a local brewery tour. A little background: in the past, I was not at all into beer. Then I met Aaron and now I enjoy the strongest, hoppiest New England… Continue reading Ottawa Self-Led Brewery Tour
We felt like going to a Japanese Izayaka so we headed over to Kuidaore for some TGIF food and drinks one night. Apparently kuidaore (食い倒れ) in Japanese means “to eat one's self into ruin”1.

I've had Holly's Hot Chicken a few times already and am amazed every single time. They don't have a single physical location, so I've been very lucky to catch them at their pop-up locations.

We’ve only been to this restaurant in the past for brunch, so we… Continue reading Swine ‘n Dine 2018 @ Backdrop Restaurant & Bar
Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. Featured image: Hot Chicken and Waffles @ The Pomeroy House. I am proud to say that Ottawa has quite the impressive brunch scene.

Colossal Caesar and Beef Carpaccio @ Churchill’s
The other day, we decided to grab some drinks and dinner with some friends at Churchill’s on Richmond Road. I was pleasantly surprised that they also had a rooftop patio, which my friends have noticed are less mosquito-infested than regular patios. One of my friends was really excited about their Colossal Caesar, so I followed suit.… Continue reading Beef Carpaccio
