My two favourite ethnic foods come together as one!

Hey guys!


This past week has been pretty flippin' busy, Ive been running around like crazy trying to complete assignments any which way I can that I almost forgot to write my blog.

Which would be bad for me and for you...trust me.

Alright, I want you to close your eyes and imagine your two favourite ethnic foods for a second....Got it? Great!


My favourite foods in my opinion, of course, would have to be Mexican burritos and sushi. Now, what if I told you you could have both of these foods together as one?


Yes, guys...SUSHI BURRITOS and they're available right here in the Exchange District, how unreal is that? There's a little hole in the wall on Bannatyne Street called Chosabi, they're the ones who have conjured up this magic.

Now, I know what you guys are asking me "Foti, a sushi burrito sounds weird and kinda gross." I thought the same thing, but then I went in and thought I'd take a leap of faith. I'm glad I did, thats for sure.

Since it was my first time I thought I'd get their signature dish which ironically is called "The Chosabi" and holy moly was it awesome.

The Chosabi has the following ingredients: Tuna, salmon, crab meat, cucumber, tempura flakes, spicy aioli, avocado, sushi rice.

All wrapped up in a seaweed wrap and rolled to perfect.

Each sushi burrito runs at about $14 or less and it's flavour explosion right in your mouth.

Don't believe me? Check out the pics below.

Are you seriously still reading this or are you on your way yet?

Well, that's it for this week guys!

See you next week!

Not your average burger

Hey guys, this week I stopped by one of my favourite burger places in Winnipeg. It's called Nuburger, which is a small Winnipeg based franchise in Osborne Village.

The thing thats great about that's great about these burger is that they're all natural! Yes, ALL NATURAL. Their vegetables and meats are all organic and their meat is fresh and never frozen, which I'm a big fan of.

My go to burger is called the Tropic Thunder. It's a burger bursting at the seams with flavour! The ingredients are  Double-smoked free-range nitrate-free candied BACON, Bothwell cheddar, grilled pineapple, lettuce and low fat chipotle.

Are you still reading this or are you on your way yet? The great thing about this burger is that it's a burger that doesn't make you feel crummy after. I have that issue after eating at most fast food places.

So, if you're craving a burger that sweet and spicy this is the one for you.

Thats all for this week guys.

see you next week!

A Canadian dish

Hey, guys!


So, today I'm going to be talking about one of my all time favourite fast foods. It's a common favourite if you hail from the great white north, much like myself. I call it "Greasy deliciousness" but the more common name for it is "Poutine".

Poutine is french fries with mozzarella cheese curds and hot gravy on top. I can already see you salivating as you read this haha.  Poutine was invented by mistake in the Montreal, Quebec in the late 1950's and when it was born it spread through Canada like wildfire.

Today, you can Poutine almost everywhere McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, you name it. However, the restaurant I went to is a little more over the top than those places. In 2011, Smoke's Poutinerie opened up here in the Exchange District and it's just a quick walk from RRC.

Today I popped in for a little treat after a long and rough week at school, but not just for some regular poutine. The cool thing about Smoke's is that you can get almost any type of topping on your poutine! Hot sauce, pulled pork, bacon, peppers, you name it, they got it. I got the Prime beef deluxe, it has ground beef, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions and peas. It was like a warm Thanksgiving dinner on top of poutine. For $10 I had my lunch and dinner combined.

So, if you're thinking about getting yourself a nice plate of poutine this is the place to go! Now, I want to hear from you guys, what's your favourite fast food? Comment below!

Until next week guys!

Stella's Cafe

Hey guys,

I had a craving the other day for something sweet and spicy. One of my favourite types of spices that has both of these properties is curry.

So, I went to one of my favourite restaurants, Stella's Cafe. I've been going to this place for years and it's phenomenal. I don't think I've ever had a meal from there that I didn't like. One of my all time favourites is the Chicken Curry. The ingredients are  chicken, coconut milk & fresh cilantro in a creamy curry sauce served over brown basmati rice with banana, raisins, sweet coconut & peach chutney. 

Is your mouth salivating right now? Cause mine sure is! If you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth and also keep you warm on a cold winter day, try the Chicken Curry out! I guarantee you won't be disappointed. 

Now, I want to hear from you guys. What are your favourite restaurants? Comment below! I'm always down to try something new. 

Well, that's it for this week guys. See you next week! 

Peace! 

King and Bannatyne

Hey guys!


Oh boy do I have a post for you. Last night I stopped by one of my favourite sandwich shops in the exchange district. Located at 100 King Street, King and Bannatyne is the sandwich shop that will make your tastebuds dance. I found this place just over a year ago when a friend of mine told me about it.

The first thing I noticed was the hipster like environment, raw wood tables and chairs, glass bottles of water with cups (very European), and the menu was written on a vertical chalk board.

Each sandwich runs at about $8-10 depending on the sandwich. I got the special which was $9.75. Their special changes everyday and each time I go I try something different, I'm never disappointed.

This week was a pork belly sandwich with beans in bbq sauce and horseradish coleslaw. My mouth is literally salivating as I write this.

It was a phenomenal southern style burger  with a perfect mixture of sweet and tangy BBQ sauce and a bit of a kick from the horseradish.

If you guys are hungry for something sweet and spicy, give this a try! I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

check out my photos!

Enjoy!


That's all for this week guys!

See you next week!

I'm back!

Hey guys,


Its been a while sine I made a post so I thought I'd post a little something. My last few posts were about hockey and I'm straying from the path a bit and going to start blogging about food....we can all agree it's a beautiful thing.

Today I had the chance to stop by one of my favourite places in city, Miss Brown's. It's a little hipster sandwich shop in the exchange district. Their menu has a lot of great things such as sandwiches, burgers, soups, lattes and exotic drinks.

Today, I got their special which is a smoked beef brisket sandwich. Inside it was a little bit of aioli (they wouldn't tell me, I guess it's a secret) mustard, romain lettuce, pickles, and a smoked beef brisket. The sandwich was made on multigrain toasted bread. The brisket was so tender that it melted in my mouth. I enjoyed the sandwich with an ice cold Coca Cola.

Overall, I really enjoyed the sandwich and would highly recommend it if you're looking for something delicious and healthy. I mean, come on, take a look at that work of art. She's a beauty, huh?

That's all for this week guys. See you next week!

I met one of my all time favourite players

Hey, guys!

Today I'm going to be talking about the time I met one of my favourite hockey players. For those of you who don't know, I work at Pro Hockey Life, the worlds largest hockey retailer. It's a great job! I love my job there because I get access to all this awesome knowledge about equipment and NHL licensed products and if you're lucky you get to meet some NHL players that come into the store.


June 15, 2013


I had some friends visiting from out of town and they were staying at my house. There were 4 other boys staying at my house beside myself and my two other siblings. It got pretty hectic at home but I enjoyed every second of it. I had gone out last night with them and we had stayed out fairly late and I knew I had to work tomorrow.

The next morning I felt the effects of staying up until 4 am. I got up ran to the shower and quickly got ready for work. I ate a small bowl of cereal before bolting out the door to work. When I arrived I ran inside to avoid being late. I clocked in with five minutes to spare.

I headed over to my specific department and began asking customers if they needed a hand finding anything. I asked a gentleman who had his back turned to me if he needed any help. The man turned around and smiled at me and said "Hi there, I'm alright but I think my son might need a hand."

My eyes immediately went wide and I smiled back and said "Oh my gosh, you're Shane Doan from the Phoenix Coyotes."

He smiled and stuck his hand out and said "How's it going?" I said "Whoa, you're Shane Doan!"

For those of you who don't know Shane Doan is the last original Winnipeg Jets player in the NHL right now.

I had chatted with Shane for about 20 minutes before another customer needed a hand. In that time I got to know Shane and how the move from Winnipeg to Phoenix was a big culture shock for him. He also gladly volunteered to take a picture with me. I took about 5-6 photos with him because so all of them came out blurry. Each time I asked for another picture he said of course with a smile on his face. He was by far the nicest pro hockey player I have ever met. He also signed autographs fro kids and chatted with many other people in the store. All my other co-workers said he was one of the nicest guys as well.

So, I want to hear from you guys. What hockey players have you met and what was their personality like? Comment below!

Until next week, guys!
