After a long work week, it's time for three #ChefApprenticesDayOff. Late (very late) lunch today @crossroadsmarketyyc... @EatsofAsia'a house specialty red curry & crab paste pork on ramen noodles, with a Mexican Coke. Finished off with a @burnt_to_order Bowie crème brûlée (not pictured, too much goodness, must devour on sight.) It's good stuff, (and I'm not being facetious) you seriously should consider checking it out if you haven't. Seriously, I can't say that enough. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc

How do you make butter poached lobster better? How about a black garlic rice pilaf? It actually matches rather well. #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #Jarrytype #happynewyear #seafood #lobster #pilaf #blackgarlic #FrenchCuisine #classic

Butter poached lobster tails, basil beurre monte. What a way to start a new year, eh? #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #happynewyear

Dat soup. It's on the 🔥. Coming to @charbar_yyc for lunch today? You have until 4pm to savour a bowl of this daily creation from yours truly. (and then available at the Simmons Building @philandseb until 9pm) Beef, cabbage & lentil sprouts. Perfect for this -13°C day in #YYC. Awwww yeah. #WinterFood #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #soup #beef #cabbage #lentils #hearty (at charbar)

Brined pork centre cut chop katsu Japa-curry don. #Dinner straight outta Yokosuka. A sprinkle of shichimi togarashi, and a small spoonful of @hatihatihotsauce finishes it all off. #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #dinner #curry #カレーライス #豚カツ #deepfried #pork

#TBT to that time when I really took off on assignment while at #MRU Broadcasting School & for @sbnation's #WakingTheRed in LA-LA Land, and to perhaps one of @torontofc's finest moments until this year. The Southern California sun: Talkin' footy over chicken & waffles to @kaylaknapp_, @grnrngr80 & @josiebeckerfc before Kayla & Josie became super uber big name soccer writers. Hanging w/ @asifintoronto pitch side at (the then) Home Depot Centre before #TFC's eventual 4-3 aggregate triumph in the 2012 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. (Okay, or maybe Asif kinda ignored me, he was the pro and I was the overawed student journo.) Being in the press box in LA while Duncan, @armenjbx, Kristin, Dave and @grawsee were back at WTR Central in Toronto. And writing what was probably the most satisfying match report I had ever filed. And then returning home to Calgary to finish a TV news report for the match. But alas my journalism days are behind me now; my cooking days are ahead of me. Maybe someday I can combine the two again. Who knows? The future is a wonderful thing... #Memories #球迷日記 #football #soccer #MLS #TFCLive #MemoryLane #CCL
