Charcut how dare you maintain your level of awesomeness?
Kudos on being a part of Matty Matheson's Vice video. It encouraged me to schedule drinks and appys on a friday night as means of showing off my high-brow taste for Calgary fine-cuisine.
But let's face it, I'm just a hermit who prefers to cook at home. But that's ok because when your dinner companions love food and talk about it as much as you do, then venturing out and stretching visa card isn't as difficult of a decision to make.
We each had the rum old fashioned. It was topped with one of those cherries soaked in moonshine that one bite makes your whole mouth numb. As for old fashioned-y goodness, this one is right up on par. But for some weird reason when I lifted my glass, the bottom came apart and we were left with a messy mystery. While I was too busy trying to figure out the science behind this, Charcut immediately replaced my drink with a fresh batch of anaesthetic cherries.
Ouuu and their mint juleps. Made with woodford reserv on a copper glass chilled to sub zero temperatures. It was refreshing beyond any description I could come up with.
Finally the appies. Pigs head mortadella, boar bacon salad with poached egg, and truffle poutine. So much food that soaked up the ominous cloud of drUNK that hung above our heads.
