After work dinner: Salads for days. Marinated octopus (L) & Napa cabbage (R). Gotta be good before indulging in the bad, I say. Especially when there's steak & fried broccoli involved. And beer. And cava. And ice cream... #LateNightEats #yyc #yycfood #yycliving #evliving #yycnow (at charbar)
Spent my day off yesterday #TrainHunting. This is my first view of @calgarytransit's new @siemens S200 LRT train arriving at Dalhousie, heading northbound. #JohnnysDayOff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #LRT #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc (at Dalhousie LRT Station)
At the end of the line. @cityofcalgary @calgarytransit #johnnysdayoff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #LRT #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc #rail #lightrail (at Somerset – Bridlewood)
Seating options. Transverse seating is back...but only limited to the front and back of each car, leaving acres of space. Sweetness. @cityofcalgary @calgarytransit #JohnnysDayOff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #LRT #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc #rail #lightrail (at Calgary, Alberta)
From LED door lights to an inclined entrance, @calgarytransit really thought this one through. Not a detail missed at all. Well done! (Then again the @cityofcalgary have been in the #LRT game for 35 years. They've probably learned a thing or two.) #JohnnysDayOff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc #rail #lightrail
Bigger. Bolder. Amber-er. But not in capital letters (for both the destination signs in front or these in-car info bars.) @cityofcalgary @calgarytransit #johnnysdayoff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #LRT #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc #rail #lightrail
It's been a long time waiting But you're here Now we must part When will I see you again? </transitnerd> @calgarytransit @cityofcalgary #JohnnysDayOff #Latergram #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #calgary #alberta #canada #trains #LRT #transit #yyctransit #yyccc #yyctoday #myyyc #rail #lightrail (at 4th Street SW Station)
And it's bucketing down again. Just as I get to the Park, too. At least I've got my tickets for the evening show. Now what to do for the next few hours...? #ChefApprenticesDayOff #AtTheStampede #calgarystampede #yyc #yycnow #yycliving (at Calgary Stampede)
"THE HORN...AND THEY'RE OFF!!!!!" Joe Carbury used to say just after Russ Peake (and later @CTVGlenCampbell) introduces the race. This part is critical; a downed barrel usually means the end of a $100,000 dream for a driver. And as I post this, someone knocks over a barrel. At least tonight is the final night! @calgarystampede #yycstampede #ChefApprenticesDayOff #JohnnysDayOff #yyc #yycnow #yycliving #yycstampede (at Calgary Stampede)
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
It's #JohnnysDayOff again and today is #Shopping Day! And first stop is @barbecues galore for some @PokPokPDX Thaan charcoal for my next round of gai yang (Thai roast chicken) testing. Where to next? #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #TestKitchen (at Barbecues Galore)
@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 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
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)
