Tall, Blonde, and Hungry

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE So this week I was planning on reviewing a pizza place by my work, but when I ordered, it was terrible and I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. So instead I'm gonna review this amazing dish made by my awesome roommate! Mesa Goreng (Indonesian-style stir fry with carrots, tomatoes, chicken, ramen and a fried egg)  At my house Price: $ $$$$ Fee: She cooks, I clean. Eat-in only. So to be completely honest, I have no idea what this dish is; Google didn't help much but it did recognize the name. All I know is that it's the easiest thing to watch being made with maximum flavour. Everything you'll need She started out with garlic and oil, adding in the carrots after it had a chance to heat up, adding in sundried tomatoes a little while in.                                            ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE Wellington's - Fancy-ass Food (Steak, Seafood, etc) 10325 Bonaventure Dr SE Delivery Fee: N/A, Eat-in only Price: Expensive ($30+) So it's holiday season, and for our workplace Non-Denominational Holiday Party, we all went out for Fancy dinner at this amazing little spot called Wellington's . Located on Bonaventure Drive, just by Southcentre, this place is an old style steak joint, with decor right out of the 60's but service that is out of this world. (Full disclosure: I did not pay for this meal, my delightful BossMan did). But enough about that, lets get to the main event: THE FOOD. Beef Wellington w/side of veggies and roasted potatoes- A beef tenderloin, masked with a paté de fois gras and mushroom duxelle, baked in a puff pastry shell   $39 The beefy star of the evening Oh my goodness you guys. I loved this. I have watched a lot of Hell's Kitchen over the years, so I was vaguely familiar with ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start HERE Chachi's - Sandwiches, Salads, Sides Sundance 6103 15 Sunpark Plaza SE Delivery Fee: $5.49 Price:  $4-$11 One of my favourite places to order from is Chachi's . Chachi's is a sandwich joint that makes it's food with local ingredients and producers, like Benny's Bakery and Valbella Gourmet Foods out of Canmore. They currently have 10 locations throughout the city, as well as a store in Edmonton, and a few in B.C. The only location currently on Skip (to my knowledge) is the Sundance location, which accounts for it's significant delivery charge to both my work and home. Banh Mi -beef brisket in an asian marinade, garlic aioli, pickled carrots, cilantro and slices of jalapeno. $11.00  I usually order the Banh Mi sandwich, and haven't really had the motivation to change it up from this succulent little beast.

Welcome to Tall, Blonde, and Hungry. Lets get to know each other. I'm Jayme. I'm tall, blonde, and very hungry. I moved to Calgary in August of 2016, and I relished being able to eat at so many amazing places. I have a great joy for good food, and being in Calgary has fed that joy (and hunger) tenfold. As a lactose intolerant, hungry hungry hippo, I believe that food is one of the great joys in life. The flavours, the textures, the simple joy from a good meal is one of the best feelings in the world. I want nothing more than to share that feeling with as many people as possible, be that friends, family or you. Yes you! So join me while I eat my way through YYC, one dairy free bite at a time. Happy eating! Jayme
