A true original & (probably) the only one in #YYC (so far) And it's all mine. @bustinboards Danensu with specially customized paint. It arrived this morning from the East Coast, and I'm stoked AF to get pushin'. #ForThoseWhoPush #OneOfAKind #ForeverYoung #skate #longboard #board #push #yycnow #captureYYC #yycliving #ChefApprenticeLife
@calgarytower is lit in @FoothillsFCU23 green and white tonight. 1-0 win over @fcgsforce in the @USLPDL Western semifinal in Tucson. Tomorrow they play in the Western Final for a chance to go o the PDL final. Get on board the #HoopsTrain, #YYC, the next stop is Glory Station and the boys are on the Express track! #SupportLocalSoccer #yycsoccer #yycliving #yycnow #captureyyc (at Calgary Tower)
After a busy Stampede and Folk Fest my #ChefApprenticeLife finally gives me two back to back #ChefApprenticesDayOff. And where to after a day of Pokemon Go than to stop off for cava & some steak frites @theguildcalgary? I didn't get a pic of the steak (done Chicago rare) but I can assure you it was on point. :) #JohnnysDayOff #yyc #yycfood #yycliving #captureYYC #cava (at The Guild Calgary)
After what seemed like a long summer festival season, I finally get four glorious #JohnnysDaysOff. It's been hectic, but today on Day 1 as I went out to play some Pokemon Go, I am reminded of the tranquility of the places around us. While people were circling the pond waiting for the next rare Pokemon, I snapped this trio of young ducks & their mother enjoying a cool dip and a nice meal of bugs. The world around us is beautiful and idllyic; sometimes all we need is that moment to stop and smell those roses to see the beauty. #YYC #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #yyctoday #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefAppreniceLife
Working tonight @charbar_yyc so I'll be missing the @USLPDL final watch party with my fellow @FootSoldiersSG. Can the @FoothillsFC bring home some hardware to #YYC while I'm firing bills tonight? Here's hoping! #yyc #yycfood #yycnow #yyctoday #captureyyc #chefapprenticelife #YYCSoccer #soccer #futbol #supporterculture (at charbar)
If you've ever bought a handmade Japanese kitchen knife from @knifewear, you probably wondered how they make them. Well I kinda saw it for myself this weekend at the #YYC Japanese Festival this past weekend at the Max Bell. Pretty amazing. Even without the springhammer, it's still fascinating to see it happen up close and personal. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yycnow #yycvideo #captureyyc #yycliving #knives #japaneseknives #forging #blacksmith (at Max Bell Centre)
...oh wait, I CAN make steak better. Peppercorn sauce made with a shot of whiskey finished with a monte au beurre. It broke slightly of course (don't judge me too harshly, @chefgroves.) And don't judge me on the toast please. I wish I had grilled sourdough a la @charbar_yyc, but hey. Beggars can't be choosers when there's already steak. I've already hit the #LateNightEats jackpot; everything else is gravy. Literally! #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #beef #steak #FrenchClassics #sauces @alberta.beef @LoveCdnBeef
Peach Melba deconstructed, two ways. Top: The dessert course from last night's @charbar_yyc Asador feast. Bottom: same dessert, gussied up. @fiascogelato Strawberry-rhubarb sorbetto, #berries, C&B #peach, coulis, waffle cone. Which one do you like? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #f52grams #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #Frozen #sorbet #summer
Apples from the Old Leung Homestead garden. The tree doesn't have as many apples as it did last year but the fruit is much bigger than last year's crop. Trade offs, I reckon. #ChefApprenticeLife #gardening #tree #fruit #apple #yycfood #yycnow #captureyyc #yycgarden #urbangardening #yycliving
#TBT to last week. Have I ever told you how much I love #lamb? Chimichurri marinated & grilled, resting on top of a bed of sherry glazed roast squash. A special request done for me by my lovely colleagues at @charbar_yyc for my after-shift meal. And yes, it was good. Very, VERY good. #chefapprenticelife #chefapprenticeeats #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #veg #meat #grill (at charbar)
Chocolate chip cookie + @fiascogelato soft serve, peach, mixed berry, mint, Dulce. Inspired by the dropped lemon tart, I call this one "dropped ice cream sandwich in the Fall." According to the server, the diner loved it. I sure as hell had a blast putting it together on the fly. #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #Frozen #fruit #cookie (at charbar)
Another take on the dropped ice cream sandwich (see last post), which replaces the Dulce dots with a drizzle of ganache. Which one do you like better? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #fruit #cookie #softserve #f52grams
Meet Akai Giwaku (赤い疑惑/赤的疑惑). Many a tuna loin has been taken apart with this one. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
Every chef/cook has his/her workhorse knife. Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月) is mine. My first real chef's knife after my elimination from Masterchef. Almost four years later it's still with me. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
This one does not have a name. But since the two others carry names that are Anita Mui (梅艷芳) songs...I think calling this one either Flaming Lips (烈焰紅唇), Tango de la Fuego (似火探戈), or Fire on the Ice Mountain (冰山大火) would work. Right...? #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
Under the bridge. Haunting in the fading autumn daylight. #yyc #captureyyc #latergram #nature #urbanexploration
Fingers of night surrendering the setting sun. #urbanexploration #nature #yyc #captureYYC #urban #latergram #yycnow #yyclife #yycliving @cityofcalgary
Runnin' with the shadows of the night. Darkness grows in me, but I am also the light to banish the darkness. #urbanexploration #urbanphotography #nature #yyc #autumn #captureYYC #urban #latergram #yycnow #yyclife #yycliving @cityofcalgary #twilight #dusk #pathway #river
One night in the fridge + eggs = time to shape the "dough" into a crust. Let's see how it looks before its topped. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #YYCPizzaWeek #TestKitchen #yyc #yycfood #captureYYC
