Roast beef dinner at Kafana a while back. It was an occasional special. If you’re there when it’s on, get one! A mountain of lean, tender roast beef smothered in gravy, with roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, and bread. #yegfoodie #yegeats #kafana #yegfood #mccauley

When I was at the campus location of Sherlock's a week or so ago, I opted for the mini Yorkshire puddings stuffed with roast beef, with rosemary au jus. The four puddings were indeed stuffed with tender roast beef, and for one person makes the perfect meal sized portion, but I wish the horseradish came with it and did not have to be ordered to the side for an extra $1.50. Otherwise, this is a lot of fun and flavour.

Appies at The Pint

I was at The Pint downtown over the weekend prior to heading to a video shoot. Instead of a meal, I decided to order a couple of my favourite appetizers. The mini Yorkshire puddings with roast beef and gravy is the ultimate comfort food, and you can't find it in many places. The mustard and horseradish on the side made for some fun dredging. I also ordered a pound of boneless wings with honey mustard sauce, and guacamole as the dip. This combination actually worked better than I thought it would, with the creamy avocado and sweet honey mustard working together.

Roast Beef Sandwich at Culina Muttart

The Muttart Conservatory is one of my favourite Edmonton attractions. My visit there this week started with lunch at Culina. I had a roast beef sandwich with the house salad. The sandwich was divine on a fresh baguette with real roast beef that was served slightly warm with mustard. I asked to have the cheddar held. The salad was a star on the plate unto itself with slightly pickled vegetables, almonds, dried cranberries, and greens. I held the feta. It looked as beautiful as it tasted and would consider ordering the salad as a meal.
