There's Just Something About Charcoal Grilling That Makes Everything Taste Better. Whether It's Steak

There's just something about charcoal grilling that makes everything taste better. Whether it's steak or a Gai yang (Thai roast chicken), even a threatening rainstorm couldn't keep me from grilling this up. Maybe it's the obsessive food lover in me, but anything not grilled with charcoal...just doesn't taste the same. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #beautifulcuisines #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gastropostYYC #charcoal #chicken #ThaiCuisine

When you're short on garnishes before service, make some. Tested out some last minute praline with ground pistachios. Torch the sugar, toss on nuts. I ain't no pastry chef but I'm kinda proud of myself I came up with this on the fly. #ChefApprenticeLife #TestKitchen #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #beautifulcuisines #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #gardemanger #feedfeed #theartofplating #tastespotting

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

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)

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)

By request: A dessert platter for six. @sidewalkcitizen brownie + cheesecake & @charbar_yyc's world famous #DulceDeLeche panqueues. Berries and a strawberry compote to finish. Not my best work, but it was okay I think? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #evliving (at charbar)
