The Big Cheese - YYC

Sometime I have great food karma. 

No for real.

I went to visit some friends in Calgary and we starting to debate what to have for lunch. 

You know how vacation trips are always eating out. Wanna try new things or visit old places you love.

My friend mentioned a new poutin place downtown on 17th. 

Like it so no big deal.

HELLO!!! 

Clearly it was a no question! 

We jumped in the car a headed downtown! 

Its called The Big Cheese 

738 17 Ave SW
Calgary, AB T2S0B7 

 SOOOOO GOOD really

Im a traditional poutin girl so just  had the fries, gravy and CHEESE! 

Amazing and honestly so good Id even to go back and try some more adventurous kinds. 

Also I just found out Calgary has a annual Poutin Crawl!!!! 

I am going crazy with excitement and sooo wished I planned my next Calgary to coincide with this amazing event!   

Always next year.

Enjoy and yes it tastes as good as it look :)

New Orleans was amazing and a friend asked when she saw my pictures if all I do is eat when I vacation. Well yes and no. I do plan my vacation around eating but I do do a lot of drinking and some sight seeing also. This was brunch at Stanleys:
547 Saint Ann Street
New Orleans, LA 70116, United States

(504) 587-0093
Hours: Sun-Sat 7am-10pm

We did have to wait but not only was it worth it but it is also on the corner of Frenchmen Street so lots to do while you wait!

your killing my spirit

I was all hyped to start this new blog and now
I have spent the last 15 mins screaming and crying cause I cant load any photos
a food blog with out photos is like listening to Porn. No thanks!

I will try again in a few. They will be posted separately for sure.

Fingers crossed and may the force be with me


UPDATE: Back in action. Pictures are showing up last to first but Ill take what I can get! Enjoy please.

Where do I even start?

From always I loved taking pictures of my food at restaurants even a friends house if I felt they really upped the ante with something special.

I have struggled with what to post first. Because I have organized nothing I am going to wing it. And post something for the Canadians that have never had the joy of ordering and eating in an out burger. This was in Las Vegas off the strip. We took a bus (oh I forgot to mention this was my 29th Birthday I believe... wait maybe 30 ? whatevez) its walking distance from New York New York. 4888 Dean Martin Dr., Las Vegas, NV, United States.... Really I walk no where and I was ok with the walk. Well actually we took a city bus to there and walked back.

Love it as much as I did! Also my friend is Gluten Free thats why her bun is missing. Just sayin'
