Chicken tortilla soup for lunch today @charbar_yyc When life hands you a lemon you better make that metaphorical lemonade. And when you have seasoned chicken stew... Although according to some of our lunch diners it was "too much stuff". TBH, I've never heard anyone say a soup had too much stuff. This is truly a first! Nevertheless, delicious. It's still available (quantities limited) @philandseb East Village until 9pm. Grab one & let me know how it tastes. #ChefApprenticeMakesLunch #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #soup (at charbar)

How do you make butter poached lobster better? How about a black garlic rice pilaf? It actually matches rather well. #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #Jarrytype #happynewyear #seafood #lobster #pilaf #blackgarlic #FrenchCuisine #classic

The three musketeers of lunch. "Alley Burger" fugazza, mixed greens salad with feta and red pepper, lamb & chickpea stew finished with cumin yogurt and cilantro. A lunch fit for a blustery day like today in #YYC. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtLunch #yycfood (at charbar)

After being tortured ALL WEEKEND (thank you very much everybody...) with pictures from @eatforeign, it's time for me to put out a few. Dining alone tonight, and starting off with a salmon fresh roll. Yuzu cured salmon, crème fraîche, gochujang. Really nice way to open...salmon actually has a good note of Yuzu, but not overpowering. Still more to come... :) #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)

Watching back @nbchairspraylive with a Vietnamese iced coffee pop (cà phê sữa đá) in my hand, after work. French roast coffee, condensed milk plus seven minutes in a quick pop maker. Frozen magic in minutes. (Although I could've used more condensed milk...but still good to taste a bit of the coffee.) #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife
