Back at the table

By
Hello foodie fans, 

It’s been a little while since you have heard anything from us, life gets busy and we have been no exception. 

With the imminent return  of the sun , myself and Chef D are planning our return to society from our long winter sleep as well and we are looking forward to a few new places around home to eat and check out. 

Spoiler alert Victoria BC is on our list in the next few weeks for our annual VF foodie getaway.

Hope you have been enjoying Chef D and his beer of the week reviews. Planning on adding Wine Wednesday to that mix along with a few other food related pages that we have in the works. 

So with much love and growling stomachs we will be seeing you very soon. Stay tuned 

Whiskey G.

It’s quite a beautiful location.   Although it it a busy place, I was struck by how slowly they get food out. In that

The thick aroma of deeply browned meat hit my nostrils immediately. The place looked completely full; that is to say there were a dozen or so patrons, mostly sitting on stools around the bar.  We inquired if it possible get seated, but I was thinking we would be turned away. Whiskey and I may have fit slotted in somewhere, but we were expecting a guest to join us as well.  The bubbly hostess/server told us they had one table near the back of the dining room, so she led us eleven steps towards the back where we were delighted see the largest table (of the th
