Course 3 of #SxSEFeast: Bangkok x São Paulo. Steak satay "à la Gaucho". 7K Ranch steak (medium rare), cascabel chili salt rubbed pineapple, Parilla-charred peppers and eggplant, with three sauces: "Green" herb chimichurri, "Red" sambal ikan bilis and "white" peanut satay sauce. This is satay, punched up. Oh yeah! #ChefApprenticesFeast #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)

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

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

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)

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
