After A Busy Stampede And Folk Fest My #ChefApprenticeLife Finally Gives Me Two Back To Back #ChefApprenticesDayOff.

After a busy Stampede and Folk Fest my #ChefApprenticeLife finally gives me two back to back #ChefApprenticesDayOff. And where to after a day of Pokemon Go than to stop off for cava & some steak frites @theguildcalgary? I didn't get a pic of the steak (done Chicago rare) but I can assure you it was on point. :) #JohnnysDayOff #yyc #yycfood #yycliving #captureYYC #cava (at The Guild Calgary)

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

And as a bonus, how they put the forged knife into the handles. Neatness. (at Max Bell Centre)

A drink in the shade. A refreshing Bollywood 75 at @mangoshiva after a lovely & fragrant Punjabi goat curry. Cheers to you, Terry. #RIP. #ChefApprenticeLife #JohnnysDayOff #dranks #bubbles #sparkling #cocktail (at Mango Shiva)

Woke up this morning that a friend of mine passed away suddenly. He was at my bday party in March & was one of the few people to make it. So in honour of him (he liked ciders, I'm not a fan sadly) I had a @mangoshiva Bollywood 75 in his honour instead. Rest well my friend. You will never be forgotten. (at Mango Shiva)

Going to be a muddy one for the final night of the @calgarystampede wagons. The wagon races are something I've watched for years on (@CTVCalgary when Russ Peake hosted the show & now @cbc.sports) and is the only thing I will pay to watch at Stampede. Call it a tradition I reckon. (at Calgary Stampede)
