After a long work week, it's time for three #ChefApprenticesDayOff. Late (very late) lunch today @crossroadsmarketyyc... @EatsofAsia'a house specialty red curry & crab paste pork on ramen noodles, with a Mexican Coke. Finished off with a @burnt_to_order Bowie crème brûlée (not pictured, too much goodness, must devour on sight.) It's good stuff, (and I'm not being facetious) you seriously should consider checking it out if you haven't. Seriously, I can't say that enough. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc

That's one big mistletoe... (taken from @eatsofasia's booth @marketcollective. It's a #RamenParty this weekend!) #marketcollective #yycfood #yyc

Simplicity, take 2. Butter poached lobster. Basil, garlic, orange zest. #chefapprenticelife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #PlatingPractice #yycfood #yyc

The samurai have their kata as, chefs & cooks have their knives. This beauty is one of my three #GoGoGadget in the kitchen, a Masakage Koishi Sujihiki for cutting meat & fish (and the odd pizza here & there.) And sheathed in a leather pouch, I can have it at my side for cutting a steak, a chicken, tuna or whatever when I'm serving customers. The yellow string wrapped to the belt loop is symbolic of the old Chinese royalty; to be the best, you gotta think like the best! #ChefApprenticeLife #gastropostYYC @gastropostyyc

Plate 5 @eatforeign: ...when you can have another dessert? Passion fruit pavlova, coconut tapioca pudding. Compared to the coffee parfait I think I like this one better. I've always had a weakness for cold coconut tapioca soup for dessert. This just makes it even better. This was worth the wait for sure...and I honestly can't wait to come back for more! #chefapprenticedinesout #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)

A day 10 years in the making. This original #YYC-based @torontofc supporter is ready to see the Reds finally win the #MLSCup. I've cried so many tears over the last decade, but have met so many folks whom now I call friends. Distance may separate us, but to use a Shakespearean analogy: tonight on what is our St. Crispin's Day, my spirit (no matter where my body shall rest) will be at BMO Field in #Toronto. When the supporters jump, my spirit jumps with them. When the supporters cheer, my spirit cheers with them. When the supporters celebrate, my spirit will celebrate with them. Bring it home, TFC. I believe. #TorontoTilIDie! #ComeOnYouReds! #TFCLive #MLS #MLSCupPlayoffs #torontofc #6ix #416 #403
