Swine and Dine at Say Uncle – July 16, 2019

 

We are excited to announce that chefs Trevor Moan and Chef Andrew Cowan of Say Uncle are hosting the next Alberta Pork Swine and Dine dinner. Say Uncle, which recently opened downtown Edmonton on 104 street, is the love child of the owners of Northern Chicken and Sandwich & Sons.
FIVE COURSES FOR $50 – INCLUDING TAX AND GRATUITY
The dinner is scheduled for Tuesday July 16 at 6:30 pm and seating is limited to 30. Considering how great the price is, and once you see how salivary that menu sounds, we know this event is likely to sell out. So, if demand for Say Uncle’s first Swine and Dine is great enough, chefs Cowan and Moan said they will open up the Wednesday July 17 and run the same menu on back to back nights.
To reserve call 780.540.5369 or email acowan@sayuncle.ca.

Chef Alex Sneazwell’s BLT at Sandwich & Sons

 

IMG_4215I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chef Alex Sneazwell at his new dining creation – Sandwich & Sons. The deli-style sandwich shop with a focus on local producers and craft products services a hungry

population of people working in an industrial area in northwest Edmonton, but Chef Sneazwell’s menu of simple yet delicious sandwiches has people driving across the city for bite of soup, classic cut fries, and a hearty sandwich.

My roommate Marc is a frequent visitor and compares Sandwich & Sons to a New York sandwich shop – where a simple sandwich shines because of the quality of ingredients and the fresh flavour.

When I arrived I had the opportunity to see a tower of power being created – the Sandwich & Sons BLT. The essential ingredients of a BLT sandwich are bacon, lettuce, tomato, bread and mayonnaise; however, we all know the ingredient that makes or breaks it is the bacon.

Alex starts with stacks of thick cut, double smoked bacon from his friend Jeff Senger of Sangudo Meats, adds in some baconaise, lettuce and tomato and layers it all between two slices of sourdough bread.

The BLT at Sandwich & Sons is truly a work of art, and definitely worth the drive. It happened to be parsnip and bacon soup day when I visited – be sure to grab a bowl of the sweet and salty soup if you have the chance. You can visit Alex for a big bite of bacon at:
