Tall, Blonde, and Hungry

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE So, with an extra $5 in my pocket I was feeling a little rich. While sushi may be my #1 ride or die, Mexican food takes a pretty close second. There's nothing better than fresh pico or guacamole, 3 to 8 tacos and a little too much tequila. So when I had the itch to order in, and with a credit on my Skip account, I went straight for this place: Los Mariachis (Mexican Cuisine)  7400 Macleod Trail SE Delivery Fee: $3.99 Price: $$$** Los Mariachis  is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's family owned and operated. I've eaten in person there a few times, and I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the food is amazing, and they're extremely accommodating to people with allergies, suggesting alternatives and making them sans certain ingredients (ie. dairy)  Pollo en Molé  (Chicken in mole sauce, side of seasoned rice and beans) $18.00 Gimme dat sauce ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE Sunday Brunch is a beautiful phenomenon, and it's made even more beautiful by the advent of delivery services. Which is how I FINALLY got to try out some grub from Nellie's Cafe , despite some setbacks with delivery.  Now I was fairly, shall we say, hungover so I only got one dish from the cafe. Voila! Morning Maple BLT (Maple Syrup, bacon, lettuce, tomato on rye. Served with hashbrowns) $9.75 Nothin better for breakfast This is a pretty standard BLT, but with maple syrup.

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
