Indulgence 2011 Tidbits and Munchies!

Another year has come and gone, and once again, Slow Food Edmonton has brought us a simply sumptuous Indulgence 2011. Boasting a very impressive roster including the likes of Red Ox Inn, Niche, The Marc to name a few, let's go and see what all the fuss is about!

Off the Trail: Hong Kong - Ruth's Chris Steakhouse!

Whenever I think about eating in Hong Kong, fond memories come to mind: dim sum, 30%+ off Japanese sushi, and Chinese BBQ to name a few. But I'll be honest, one thing rarely crosses my mind: steak. Now, you might wonder why anyone in my position would travel elsewhere for steak when such things as triple A beef run free in our backyard, and... I would agree with you. I love steak and Alberta beef is a beautiful thing.

That said, however, when someone invites me to try something new, I'm definitely not going to turn them down and it was one warm summer evening that I found myself standing outside Ruth's Chris - Hong Kong. Mmm!

Now a couple things make me wonder: how is steak in Hong Kong? Moreover, how does the steak compare to Canada? Is it going to be imported? (Yes, from Australia.) Local? How does the same chain, in this case, Ruth's Chris (!), compare? Well, let's go find out!

Overall Score (This blogger's opinion): 60/100

What's IN: Rib-Eye Steak

Back!

And after a semi-long hiatus (I'm sorry!), we have returned!

Thank you all for waiting and your patience! There will be a burst of updates now that I have internet again =)

PS thanks to all who showed up at Indulgence yesterday! It was great (stay tuned for a blog about that one)

BRBAFKWHATEVER.

BRB. (be right back) Just kidding. But not really =( unfortunately, friends, I have been and will be stuck without internet for the past few days and for the next few conceivable days (or more). I will be back with more food tales as soon as possible though -- maybe even a shady internet cafe if time permits! Hang tight!
