Local News

They have also posted some answers to frequently asked questions they have since received since the announcement.
- Also from Edify – they checked out newly-opened Leonardo’s Coffee and Sandwich House.
- Brotherhood of Plates posted about 5 lesser known sandwiches in Edmonton worth a try, including Espania Pizzeria, Sandwich & Burger Patch, Baltyk Meat & Deli, Western Sandwich Co., and Donna’s Eatery. The full write-up is in the first issue of Fn’zine.

What I Ate
- Mack and I are big fans of Momma Tong’s Bun Bo Hue meal kits (and this time, even Emily snuck more than a few bits of the noodles and meat). It’s always great to have some frozen options stashed away sourced from local businesses.
