Saturday
See: Jason Kenney’s Hot Boy Summer at Grindstone
It’s 1983 at Alberta University. Newly-elected student union president Jason Kenney and his frat, Upsilon Cappa Pi, are planning the hottest year-end party ever (rodeo-themed of course). But Kenney’s nemesis Rachel will do anything to stop him. Soon Dean Trudeau, his new friend Deena, and even his frat mates are turning against him. Can Kenney save his hot summer party, and his frat at the same time?
We had the chance to chat with Chef Joseph at Cafe Bicyclette last week, and talk about the locally sourced ingredients that shine in the brunch dishes we tried. From chicken that’s brined for five-days in local honey, to the local mushrooms in the delicious, mushroom, brie and truffle omelette (you have to try this one), it’s a menu that shines with flavour - and we were excited to give a few dishes on the menu a try.
