| - What's with all these places and their weirdo names? If you're as easily confused as I am (we all remember my Coco Brooks review right?) then maybe you're thinking that this place showcases perfection in dairy cows. You know, some sweet looking Holsteins, those kings of the dairy kingdom.
Well, guess what? You'd be dead wrong dear reader.
But don't worry. You'd be wrong, but you'd be happy. Why? Because Model Milk has some of the best food I've had in Calgary paired with really really good service. Turns out that you don't really care about not seeing perfection in the animal kingdom cause your tastebuds are on their own little safari.
I'm a BIG fan of sharing things, especially when you first go to a restaurant because it allows you to taste more of the menu, and if you don't like something, there's always a bunch of other things to enjoy. The menu here changes often, so your server might have some other recos, but here are mine based on what we had the other night.
Calamari - amazing, fantastic,
Shrimp and grits - perfectly balanced, nice kick of spice, just wow.
Chantrelles - rich, decadent, do it.
Chicken and waffles - The chicken is the star here, super moist, cooked sous-vide style in buttermilk - oh YES. (On Mondays they do fried chicken night so you can go back just for that!)
Dessert - apple pie was my fave, but they're all a great sized portion and great for sharing (If we're being honest, I didn't actually order dessert, I told the server that I would just have more wine...he still brought me a fork, but who drinks wine with a fork?)
Bottom line - get yourself to Model Milk and wear stretchy pants.
