Lunch at Rush

March 9th, 2010 by Lisa Murphy-Lamb

The first thing you should do immediately after making a reservation for lunch at Rush is cancel your dinner plans.  You will not need to eat again for many hours after enjoying the three course set menu offered at Rush during the ten days of Dine Out Calgary.  And if you have the time, you may find yourself still enjoying both the restaurant and the food close to the dinner hour.  It’s a place where you want to sit back and enjoy.

Dine Out Calgary Picks: Wil Knoll

March 8th, 2010 by Wil Knoll

Dine Out Calgary starts this Friday, March 5th and runs until Sunday, March 14th. There’s over 90 restaurants participating this year and that means a lot of great dining choices. To help you with your decision our blog writers have chosen their top picks for the 10 days. First up Wil Knoll

I started to go to the gym before Christmas and had been somewhat committed to my 10k runs, and keeping my weight down around the 160lbs mark. The Scotiabank Calgary Marathon is just months away, and I need to be ready.

Christmas came and I battled it. New Year’s came and I hung out with the whereswalter.ca crew (two young Calgarians enjoying the life in a 31 foot Winnebago named Walter) in Las Vegas… Then High Performance Rodeo came and there was drinking more nights out of the week then not.

So, just as I’m starting to trend back down towards the happy 160lbs that is only 5 measly little pounds away, downtown Calgary puts together Dine Out Calgary.

Obviously, you’ll be seeing more of me at the Y in the coming weeks… Here are a few of my picks for Dine Out Calgary. Since over the next 10 days they will be offering a set menu for Dine Out Calgary, I’m going to just give a taste of some of the locations.

Dine Out Calgary starts this Friday, March 5th and runs until Sunday, March 14th. There’s over 90 restaurants participating this year and that means a lot of great dining choices. To help you with your decision our blog writers have chosen their top picks for the 10 days. Next up Lisa Murphy-Lamb

Here is our problem:  My husband is away on business travel a lot.  This means most of his meals are eaten out while I am at home cooking for the family.  When we are together in the same city at the same time, he looks forward to some home cooking and I look forward to him taking me out. Unless I’m prepared with a solid suggestion for a restaurant that is enticing and easy to get to, his business-travel weariness takes over and he begs to stay in and nosh on something homemade and healthy.

Here is one solution:  Dine out Calgary which begins Friday, March 5 and runs until Sunday, March 14. During Dine out Calgary, participating restaurants offer a 3-course menu at a set price point especially for the event.  This is a great enticement to come and try out some local restaurants, but better than that for me is the website which lists the restaurants and what they are serving.  With access to menus, location and price I am well prepared for when my husband returns from Rio and Buenos Aires (I know, right?) next week.

So with a little research by way of my computer perched on top of my cookbooks, here are my top three picks for Dine out Calgary week.  Fingers crossed I talk him into at least joining me at one of them. (more…)

I always look forward to Dine Out Calgary because it’s a great chance to try new (to me) restaurants. I imagine that eventually I’ll run out, but I don’t think that’ll be anytime soon. With so many choices it’s a hard choice, but the three that I hope to try Blink, Koi and CHARCUT Roasthouse.

The one thing that all of my choices have in common? Dessert! (more…)
