WHERE TO DINE AWARDS 2018 - FAVOURITE DISHES 05 06 07 08 SMOKED BONE MARROW AT LAST BEST BREWING COMPANY: Bone marrow is one of those foods that you might need to convince yourself to try, but once you do there’s no going back. That’s doubly true of Last Best’s smoked, beer-brined bone marrow with mushroom caramel, parsley salad and toast (page 25). 20 where.ca JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2018 09 FILET TRIO AT MODERN STEAK: Alberta’s terroir is beautifully showcased with three filets from three small Alberta ranches that emphasize the taste differences in beef from cattle that have been grass-fed, grain-fed or a combination of the two. The quality of the meat is truly among the best in the world (page 34). ELK SIRLOIN AT MURRIETA’S BAR & GRILL: If you’ve had deer venison and think elk is pretty much the same, you owe it to yourself to sample this unique, flavourful and very Canadian meat. Murrieta’s pan roasts their elk sirloin to the perfect temperature and coats it in blueberry barbecue sauce, providing a juicy and succulent entrée option (page 26). HAMBURGUESA AL CARBON AT NATIVE TONGUES TAQUERIA: It’s hard to go wrong with a classic, but Native Tongues takes the humble burger further with wagyu beef patties, a house-made sesame bun and all the fixings including gooey melted cheese. House-made chips drizzled in hot sauce complement the burger perfectly (page 33).
