As our Instagram and Twitter followers might have noticed, we’ve been on the road quite a bit recently. Though we had a fantastic trip getting to know Alberta better via camper van, we missed out on something that always knocks our summer socks off: the medieval-style Belgian National Day Feast at Chambar on Beatty Street. The meal is a real barn burner; this year with artichokes, ostrich tartare, honey roasted squab, pheasant and pistachio terrine, espelette pepper chicken wings, tea-smoked duck, BBQ quail, flambeed foie gras, turkey kofta, fried chicken, and more (not to mention copious amounts of Chambar Ale). As is the norm for this event, which went down on Sunday, no utensils were provided, so you can well imagine the savagery and the size of the linen bill. As luck and friendship would have it, our friends Mike Babiarz (of Warren Lane Pictures) and Anna McLean (of Duchesse Vintage) agreed to don swell-looking bibs and go in our stead with appetites and a camera. By all reports, it sounds like a seriously good time was had. Thanks for sharing!
