In a weird little parking lot at the side of Macleod Trail's Home Food Inn, there's this weird one shack where one of the absolutely bravest and heartiest chefs that ever can be is.
Chef Brad, is there, much like a classic tiny Punch and Judy stand, surrounded by huge hunks of beef. It's tiny, it can't be all that well insulated from the extreme cold that Calgary can get, or well ventilated against the extreme heat inside during the summers, but there he is day in day out serving some of the most awesome beef sandwiches that you can find anywhere.
So far of note that I have tried, the BBQ beef sandwich and the beef dip. ANd there's quite a few other ones I will have to work on. The beef is carefully prepared, well seasoned, and absolutely tender and juicy. The gravy of the beef dip is simple, straightforward, yummy, yet strangely mysterious (I'm not too sure, but I could swear I sense of anise somewhere as an aftertaste...). Still, it's his speciality, and as I've heard, this little shack actually has led to a full sized resto somewhere else in the city.
Bravo Chef Brad, and I salute you for managing the elements in that tiny shack that's smaller than my bathroom! You have my respect and most importantly, my energetic vote of approval with a sandwich in my hands!
