Sizzling Rice is still closed due to a fire. Reopening is taking longer than expected, but we’ll keep you informed.
The Curryer began as a family run food truck and then expanded to a restaurant on 11 Avenue SW. Now both institutions seem to have vanished from the Calgary food scene. We are always saddened to see smaller, locally owner eateries close.
One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants, Chef Tian on 16 Avenue NW has closed. We are sorry to see this one leave.
Dorothy is now an officially retired RN with a passion for good food and beading. She enjoys activities as diverse as traveling and the excitment of the hunt while engaging in the occasional sale or two when out shopping.
Grant is a retired minister (2013 for the thrid time) of the United Church of Canada, although he doesn’t understand this yet, as he still runs around doing churchy things. His hobbies include languages, computers, travelling, breathing, eating and writing—but not necessarily in that order. If you would like a sample of one thing he has done with his life, and you don’t mind being bored, download his translation of the Chinese classic, Daodejing.
