How Do You Make Butter Poached Lobster Better? How About A Black Garlic Rice Pilaf? It Actually Matches

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

Plate 5 @eatforeign: ...when you can have another dessert? Passion fruit pavlova, coconut tapioca pudding. Compared to the coffee parfait I think I like this one better. I've always had a weakness for cold coconut tapioca soup for dessert. This just makes it even better. This was worth the wait for sure...and I honestly can't wait to come back for more! #chefapprenticedinesout #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)

Plate 3 @eatforeign: Mackerel "ca kho to", with daikon, shishito pepper and rice cake, served with coconut rice. This is a Vietnamese classic through and through, and punched up it looked and tasted amazing. Caramelized fish sauce smothered over a massive Mackerel filet. I think I'll be dreaming of this dish for a while... #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)

A day 10 years in the making. This original #YYC-based @torontofc supporter is ready to see the Reds finally win the #MLSCup. I've cried so many tears over the last decade, but have met so many folks whom now I call friends. Distance may separate us, but to use a Shakespearean analogy: tonight on what is our St. Crispin's Day, my spirit (no matter where my body shall rest) will be at BMO Field in #Toronto. When the supporters jump, my spirit jumps with them. When the supporters cheer, my spirit cheers with them. When the supporters celebrate, my spirit will celebrate with them. Bring it home, TFC. I believe. #TorontoTilIDie! #ComeOnYouReds! #TFCLive #MLS #MLSCupPlayoffs #torontofc #6ix #416 #403

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

Plate 4 @eatforeign: Vietnamese coffee parfait. Like a tiramisu but even better. Strong coffee and chocolate flavours, with a bit of sweetness, just like how a ca phe sua da should be (although I do take my Viet coffee on the sweeter side). But why have just one dessert... #ChefApprenticeDinesOut #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
