When the Double Down Sandwich was first introduced in the US, I knew right away this delicious meat on meat on more meat sandwich will one day end up in my tummy. Call it man-stinct or what have you, I just knew. While travelling through Washington, this day came. I started it like any other day, full of vigour and testosterone. However by the afternoon, I wasn’t feeling up to my usual self. So after I wrestled with a couple great whites, fought with a band of ninja pirates, and conquered a few local villages, I decided to call it a day and pickup a colonel’s Double Down for dinner.
[Wines] Tasting the Wines of Australia – Part 2
During my last post, I discussed the delicious food and wine pairings at this event; but there was much much more -- over 70 types of wine was presented for tasting, and I did what I can to try them all. Here's a list of my favourites. I’d like to make it clear that I’m by no means a wine connoisseur. This is a new found appreciation, so if you are a seasoned wine drinker, you should take what I have to say with a grain of salt. However, if you are a beginner yourself, you’ll likely find my opinions useful.
[Wines] Tasting the Wines of Australia – Part 1
I was invited to participate in Wine Australia’s media tasting. Yum would best describe this wine and dine experience, and it all started with these wine and food pairings. I went into a bit more detail with my favourites. Please stay tuned for part 2 of this post, as I use my rudimentary yet honest experience with wine to talk about the six categories of wine sampled at this event.
Wings Wings Wings! Wings night at the Thirsty Duck Pub
I’ll start by saying the wings there were absolutely delicious, better than Wings wings. At a quarter a piece, you won’t find better wings for less around Vancouver. They are cooked just right, and are decent sized as well so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We went ahead and ordered a pound of each flavour, 7 in total, honey garlic, sweet and spicy, thai, teriyaki, hot, BBQ, and salt and pepper.
