Food Porn Friday – Feb 22

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Gabe

This is the hugest one time collection of a food porn Friday I’ve ever put out. Mainly because I’ve been super busy and saving my load….. (And holding down 3 jobs has been crazy)

There’s a 59 picture gallery after the jump, but to get you primed, here’s a teaser:

No commentary, no sorting. There are pictures from Downtown Food, Charcut, Milk Tiger, Candela, Avec, Spolumbos, Anju, ABC, Fine Diner, Catch, Happy Valley, Market, Clive Burger, Double Zero, things I’ve made, things I’ve had for lunch and an uber dirty party with some equally dirty friends. See if you can figure out which pictures are from which place/event.

Food Porn Friday – May 11

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Gabe

An interesting week for food. Did some expirmentation in the kitchen, met up with a lot of industry friends, discussed some serious topics, and indulged in a lot of bacon. Any week with bacon is a good week.

: Something a little new for Una. Nice and light.

: Thomsons and the Hyatt held a beautiful dinner to showcase local ingredients. This was a salad with a beautiful fresh goat cheese. Things were so tasty, I forgot to take pics of almost everything else.

: The patisserie at Thomsons has some serious talent. Honey ice cream, saskatoon berry with verona chocolate puffs and a nutty bottom and a beautiful macaroon

: This is what brasserie food is about, classic and simple

: Having some beautiful foie while discussing the upcoming foie ban with Cam D. of the Brasserie

: Again, Cam D. indulges me with some foie and salted caramel ice cream.

: Organic gin, chartreuse, cinzano, a little bitters, and maybe a coup other things. Herby and tasty!

: Pitting on ’07 vs. an ’08. You can clearly tell the ’07 had the classic notes of a cab, lots of graphite, while the ’08 had a lot more jam

: Laksa broth with some tofu puffs, pork neck, and some greens. Not exactly an authentic mix of ingredients but it gets the job done.

: Fries with duck. Anything with duck is good.

: You can’t show up at District without having the bucket of bacon

: No ,it’s not real caviar, it’s flying fish roe on top of a soft poached duck egg, prosciutto and sourdough toast

: You can never have enough bacon!

: Wanted to make a BLT but tomatoes were off and didn’t have lettuce. So I made a avacado mayo instead
