Building my Own at Wayback Burgers

Burger and tots.

Wayback Burgers is a burger joint and bar at 10412 Jasper Avenue. For delivery, I ordered the "build your own" burger - I always appreciate that option at a burger joint, because I am very particular if not somewhat of a minimalist. My burger arrived with my specified toppings of grilled onions, pickles, mushrooms, and mayo. It tasted great, and I especially appreciated the fluffy bun. My side was tots, and they were very average. In reading reviews here, I think I should have gone for the chips instead, which I will do next time. My chocolate shake is substantial and very cold and sweet, as it should be.

Just Desserts: Cookie Monster Milkshake at Re:Grub

Decadent brownie and chocolate chip cookie from @sugaredandspiced. Easily the best brownie I have ever had (short of my mom’s) and the cookie had the right crunch-chew-chocolate ratio. #yeg #yegfood #yegeats #yegfoodie #sugaredandspiced #bakery #brownie #cookie

Just Desserts: Chocolate Gelato Shake at La Carraia

Wanted some gelato but went for a shake instead. I chose chocolate - no surprise - it was rather loose, and for over $8 I expected a bigger size. If I return I think I will stick with a scoop of gelato. #yeg #yegfoodie #yegeats #yegfood #gelato #nofilter

Coffee Break: Espresso Milkshake at Zocalo

Espresso Milkshake, a photo by raise my voice on Flickr.

What do you get when you combine milk, real vanilla ice cream, and freshly brewed espresso using an old-fashioned milkshake machine?

Something incredibly rich, decadent, and with enough kick to keep you going for the rest of the day.

I am talking about the espresso milkshake, a seasonal treat at Zocalo at 10826 95 Street. Made fresh to order in a tall glass, this is one of the number one signs in Little Italy that summer has arrived.

Get one while you can.
