Hey guys! I had to take a little break, but I'm back and in the meantime I've been eating. A lot.
At the beginning of March, over 95 restaurants participate in a week long event called The Big Taste.
Take a moment and click that link.
Okay. So 95+ restaurants, with affordable, incredible meals at all different levels. Holy Crap. I got really excited, but I could only go to one, and boy did I pick a good one.
The Guild (fancy-ass food and cocktails)
200 8 Ave SW
Eat In $$$**
This place is another level above my usual haunts, with craft cocktails and a focus on locally sourced artisan butchery. My roommate and I both had the $35 Big Taste menu, which had a few different options for the appetizer and entreé. This is what I had, but rest assured, I definitely got to try the squid entreé and it was amazing.
ONTO THE FOOD
To start, we both got the wood grilled acorn squash salad (mine sans sage ricotta)
While my companion had the wood grilled squid, I went in for the succulent maple brisket
And rounding out the evening, a beautiful sticky maple pudding
(I gave the ice cream to my roommate)
The food was incredible. The flavours in every dish worked in harmony with each other, and the texture was incredible. The brisket especially had an incredible crust to the glaze, in which you could taste the real Quebec maple syrup that made up it's base.
All in all, I'm mostly saddened that I didn't get to try MORE eateries during the Big Taste, but there's always next year!
Next post incoming soon!
Happy Eating!
