Stop #3 on #JohnnysDayOff: Hitting the G Spot at @cleavercalgary. Visiting a good acquaintance @chefnarrowbob before calling it a night (yeah right). #ChefApprenticesDayOff #chefapprenticelife (at Cleaver, 50 Seats and a Cow)

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)

If you've ever bought a handmade Japanese kitchen knife from @knifewear, you probably wondered how they make them. Well I kinda saw it for myself this weekend at the #YYC Japanese Festival this past weekend at the Max Bell. Pretty amazing. Even without the springhammer, it's still fascinating to see it happen up close and personal. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yycnow #yycvideo #captureyyc #yycliving #knives #japaneseknives #forging #blacksmith (at Max Bell Centre)

It's #JohnnysDayOff again and today is #Shopping Day! And first stop is @barbecues galore for some @PokPokPDX Thaan charcoal for my next round of gai yang (Thai roast chicken) testing. Where to next? #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #TestKitchen (at Barbecues Galore)

"THE HORN...AND THEY'RE OFF!!!!!" Joe Carbury used to say just after Russ Peake (and later @CTVGlenCampbell) introduces the race. This part is critical; a downed barrel usually means the end of a $100,000 dream for a driver. And as I post this, someone knocks over a barrel. At least tonight is the final night! @calgarystampede #yycstampede #ChefApprenticesDayOff #JohnnysDayOff #yyc #yycnow #yycliving #yycstampede (at Calgary Stampede)
