Perhaps it was 6 days of Stampeding, perhaps it was the heat, chances are it was the company, but I has the most remarkable evening at one of Calgary's newest (and I'm betting soon to be hottest) new restaurants on 17th. Besides the company i was keeping that evening, the experience at 80th & Ivy, like it's food, was superb... we had 6 different "small plates" all outstanding but one in particular is a must have along any other dish you may order: The chorizo stuffed, bacon wrapped dates. There are no words to describe it really; it was a scintillating explosion of flavors in my mouth! Sweet, salty, spicy, all in and around one decadent little date. Heaven!
