A new summer of eats!

I was in Iona yesterday! I love this place.

Over the weekend, I received a message from Walt, telling me we need to pick up where we left off in our quest to Eat All of Sydney. He's right! It'll be great to have a partner-in-crime again, especially one who doesn't seem to be horribly put-off by my incredible awkwardness.

So, keep an eye on this spot. I have three or four restaurants I need to write about, and, well, I miss this blog. It's been a rough few months, but this is the summer to get things sorted. Sorted with deliciousness!

For the love of scallops

Oh my. I don't think I've talked about how much I love scallops. People ask me all the time what my favourite food is, and I have to be honest, it's a toss-up between scallops and apple pie. They would be part of my favourite meal. I like them raw! I like them sauteed in butter! I like them wrapped in bacon! I like them in chowder! I would probably like them in apple pie.

Last week, I went to Tempo with my loves. We had the tapas and tinis. I went with the kataifi (pictured above) and the fried dough (pictured below).

Along with some lovely colourful drinks... here is the Key ~

So. Lovely! The staff is friendly, the food is fabulous and reasonably priced, and the drinks are girly and delicious. It was a great night, and it made me miss Halifax even more than I already do.

More food on the road!

Wild mushroom risotto. 

I had a pretty important chef meeting today. I'm pretty excited about the future of my job. After the meeting, we went out for dinner at Ryan Duffy's in Truro. We had some appetizers which weren't on the proper menu. Prime rib crostinis! Calamari! Shrimp! Fabulousness!

The risotto was very tasty, too... I'm hoping it tastes even better for breakfast. I took half of it home. 

I'm looking forward to some eating adventures this weekend. Stay toooooooooned!

On the road again...

Yum! I'm away on business. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Truro. My old partner-in-crime, TD, and I tore up the mainland today, fueled on coffee and not much else. 

I haven't been eating much because it still takes me forever to get through a meal. I figured salad would be easy. This was fabulous... it had proscuitto, arugula, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, and blood orange aioli. Always a win! I love blood oranges. I have to buy new cutting boards every winter because I stain the hell out of them with blood orange juice. 

Can't wait to hit Halifax. Soon!
