The Ship: Hamilton, Ontario

Here’s a post that has been a long time coming. It’s about one of my favorite places, a place I have had a love-hate relationship with, but which I decidedly can’t live without. The SHIP. Have you been? It’s the best “pub food” in town, though I only say that because it is a pub. The food, is in fact, much more than that. Since I happen to go there at least once a week month… this post is geared more so towards giving you an overview of the Ship and at least 7 reasons why you should go.

Brunch Latkes

The Ship has been a go-to spot on the Augusta strip in Hamilton for quite some time now. If you try to get in on a weekend after 5 pm, odds are you won’t find a seat. But, if you get there a bit earlier, say maybe on a Wednesday, you will have the opportunity to try an incredibly unique, inspired and game-changing menu. 

Lobster Fritter

I have eaten at the Ship many times and really enjoy all of their menus. Their main dinner menu is seafood and burger themed. They have incredible appetizers (my favorite being the clam chowder poutine – yes, this is a thing and it is life changing), fish tacos, po’boys and everything in between. They also serve gourmet burgers, which are no less impressive and arguably the best in the City. The Halifax (with diced tomato, diced white onion, shredded cheddar, shredded lettuce and donair sauce) and the French Onion (with gruyere, caramelized onions and mushrooms, bacon) are my personal go-to burger options. Their recently launched brunch menu has incredible items like latkes with sausage, eggs and apple sauce, breakfast pogos and breakfast poutine (are you noticing a theme yet?). What is perhaps their most impressive menu, however, is their draft beer list. They are constantly rotating over 10 taps of pure craft deliciousness. The owner goes out of his way to make sure to get those 

Brunch n' Beer

hard-to-find one-off kegs (like Oast House’s most recent Strawberry Rhubarb creation) always ensuring a good variety is available for thirsty customers.

While I will say that the food at the Ship would appeal to most, the pub itself may not. On most nights, there are just too many people in one small space to really ever be comfortable (or at least, that is what grown-up Me thinks). But, hey, if you wanted proof of how great this place is, there it is. 

The nachos. The Ship has the world’s (as far as I can tell) best nachos.  I’m talkin’ pineapple and bacon piled high on a plate of perfectly crisp and cheesy nachos. Downside:  they are listed exclusively on their late-night menu, meaning you can only ever get them post-9 pm and due to the small size of their kitchen, they will not serve them before 9 (believe me, I have tried to get them on multiple occasions). They recently completed some renovations, however, to their bar, stairs and upstairs lounge, which have really helped to make the space feel cleaner, bigger and quite frankly, more grown up. The crowd has been evolving over the years from one that is strictly hipster to just about anyone who likes good food. I have seen sports teams, gym bums, moms and their sons, totally tatted couples and everyone in between walk in – it’s just that good. 

The Ship remains one of my ultimate favorite places to grab a bite in the City, which is a testament to the quality and originality of the food. The Chef is using fresh items and putting a creative and unique twist on everything he makes and this skill does not go unnoticed. I highly recommend checking them out and having a pint.

The Aberdeen Tavern: Hamilton, Ontario

The dining room

Whenever a new restaurant opens up in Hamilton, I get absolutely giddy. The promise of new food and drink adventures as well as the possibility of a new local watering hole is all it takes to make this girl really happy! When I noticed that the former 7 Windows was closed and the storefront was covered in brown paper, I immediately had a good feeling about what was to come. The neighbourhood has truly been missing out on a local gastropub and the Aberdeen Tavern is doing a very good job so far of filling that space.

Manhattan

Situated on the corner of Aberdeen and Dundurn is the newly launched Aberdeen Tavern. Unlike its predecessor, which was a somewhat stuffy, fine dining locale, the Aberdeen Tavern blends a fine dining feel with a more casual, yet refined, menu and atmosphere. The new restaurant is being co-managed by Andrea Cassis and Nathaniel Beattie, two very experienced leaders in the restaurant industry. With beautiful old wood booths, a long dining hall with high ceilings and a classic bar with a view of the kitchen, they clearly put a lot of time and attention into the restaurant. I instantly liked the vibe and was impressed by the space and staff.

Oxtail tacos

Duck confit spring rolls

We started off at the bar for some cocktails and drinks. We were dining with some of my fellow foodie friends, who were equally looking forward to the meal. They have 4 beers on tap (which, admittedly, I was a bit disappointed about since I was hoping to see a slew of craft taps on hand!), a good wine list as well as some unique cocktails. I opted for a Manhattan, a classic cocktail with bourbon and bitters, which they served with a sour cherry on the rocks. After that I decided to venture into one of their specialty cocktails and ordered The Derby. The Derby is made with bourbon, peach liqueur, lemonade, earl grey tea and fresh mint. It was tart and very refreshing – a perfect way to start the meal.

Brussel sprouts

The menu itself is quite eclectic with a lot of different options – starters, plates to share, salads, pastas and mains. We picked out a few different appetizers to start, including the oxtail tacos, the charcuterie platter, the spring rolls and the beef carpaccio. The tacos were delicious – flavourful and tender meat with lime and cabbage. The spring rolls were the second stand out app since they were homemade and filled with duck confit! Savoury, flaky and delicious. The charcuterie platter was nice however the carpaccio was quite salty. I enjoy all sorts of carpaccio and tartares and while I enjoyed the fresh quail egg on top, the overwhelming flavor was salt which overtook everything else.

Halibut fillet

For our mains we ordered the 24-hour braised short ribs with grits (x2!), the halibut with risotto and the seafood linguini. The short ribs were fork tender and basically melted in your mouth. But the grits! Ohh… the grits. They totally blew us away. Creamy in texture like mashed potatoes with a buttery, rich flavour. Delish! The halibut was pan fried in brown butter and was served on top of risotto. The fish was flaky with a nice crust and great flavor. I ordered the linguini because 1 – I had heard a lot about it and 2 – I like to know how a place makes an otherwise common restaurant dish standout. This linguini included clams, mussels, shrimp (with the tails already removed, which is always the way to 

go in my book) and scallops.  It was light, with fresh chives and tomatoes, which really let the flavor of the seafood shine. It wasn’t overly creamy; rather they used the elements of the dish as well as (what I’m pretty sure were) finely diced artichokes to create the right texture and subtle flavors. We also shared 2 plates of their brussel sprouts as an additional side. I was pretty surprised to find a table of people who all liked the infamous sprout and the Tavern did them well. Softly steamed, but still green with the right amount of bite and topped with cheese gratin.  Needless to say, we all cleaned our plates.

Seafood linguini

The dessert options were equally impressive. I was already set on the flourless chocolate meringue after seeing it sitting by the kitchen window when we came in. The chocolate was dense and moist and oh so chocolatey…  and the meringue was truly impressive. Not hard and crunchy or overly egg-y, it was smooth and almost had a marshmallow-like texture. Incredible. It was served with a fresh berry sauce, which complemented the rich chocolate flavors completely. My dining partners opted for the pair of crème brulées. One was chocolate and the other tasted exactly like banana bread!

Flourless chocolate meringue

Overall the Aberdeen Tavern is a great new addition to the Hamilton food scene and to the neighbourhood. While the price point is a bit higher than I would have liked to see, you certainly won’t be disappointed with the food, the service or the atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy their patio in the summer!

The Courtyard on Locke: Hamilton, Ontario

Berries & nuts salad

I think that one of Hamilton’s lesser known gems is the Courtyard on Locke. Yes, it is a bit more expensive than some of its neighbours, but the food and overall dining experience make it a worthwhile stop for any Hamilton foodie looking for a quiet, refined and delicious meal.

The Courtyard is one of those restaurants that fits somewhere between casual and fine dining. Would I wear jeans? No. That being said, the place nor the 

Lobster sliders

service feels stuffy or pretentious. The atmosphere is calm, modern and elegant. At night the restaurant offers a cozy, dimly lit intimate setting and during the summer, the courtyard in the back makes for a perfect outdoor brunch locale. A bonus feature is that they use Riedel wine glasses. While I am both too clumsy/too cheap to buy these for myself, I have to admit that using the right glass for the right type of wine truly makes a difference!*

Steak & frites

When I visited for dinner awhile back, I went with my mom and aunt who strongly recommended this restaurant. We started with appetizers and wine, ordered 3 different mains and left feeling very satisfied and full! While the menu has changed since my last visit, I hope this post offers you a small glimpse at the quality of their food and diversity of their menu.

We started with the 3 mini lobster sliders. The buns were fresh and the lobster was light and topped with an avocado purée. Since there were 3 of us, this was an easy and tasty way for us to begin our meal. We then shared the nuts and berries salad, which had a mix of fresh berries, walnuts and goat cheese and was topped with a light balsamic vinaigrette. 

Fresh pickerel with mash and beans

Primavera pasta

For our mains, my mom ordered a creamy primavera pasta. Full of peppers, asparagus and mushrooms. This pasta was served in a creamy white sauce and topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese. My aunt ordered the special - a beautifully grilled piece of pickerel, topped with tomatoes and onions and served with mashed potatoes and green beans. I would like to note here that the beans were perfect. I mean everything else was equally delicious, but the beans were right at that perfect stage of cooked-ness without losing their bright colour or being overly mushy. 

I opted for the steak & frites and was very happy with that decision. They use thick, juicy cuts of Canadian AAA striploin and serve it in a veal reduction. The frites are actually fingerling potatoes, cut in half and served perfectly crisp. I ate every last morsel on my plate. Dee-lish. 

While I couldn’t get dessert because I was too full (which, for those of you who know me, know that that is rare indeed), I feel pretty confident that it would have been equally delicious! Next date night? Check out the Courtyard.

*The Riedel Wine Test. Take any ol’ wine and match it with a regular wine glass. Now pour that same wine into the designated Riedel glass. BOOM. Totally different.  

Zum Linzer: Hamilton, Ontario

I was pleasantly surprised to have been able to score a table for two on a Friday night when I called a few weeks back. While parking is a bit difficult (since the restaurant is located directly on Main St. in Hamilton) I was definitely far too excited to let that deter me; I hadn’t been to Zum Linzer in several months and wore my stretchiest finest jeans for the meal.

Deep Fried Camembert

From the moment you walk into their small but cozy digs, you pretty much know right away that you are in a German restaurant. They have about 10 tables and a small but very nice bar. They have a row of beer steins along a shelf hung across a brick wall in addition to a collection of decorative plates. They use proper linens on their tables (i.e.: not paper) and their servers are always knowledgeable, friendly and prompt.

House Salad

When we sat down, there were about 3 other full tables and I could hear people quietly speaking to each other in German (which I take to be a very good sign). Soft music with inaudible lyrics could be heard in the background and mostly everyone there seemed pretty serious about the food and beer. While they don’t have a huge beer selection, what they do offer includes select imports such as Warsteiner Dark, Munich, Stiegl and Gosser with a few on tap and a few in bottles. I know the beer only contributes to how full I inevitably feel whenever I eat here but I think it is necessary – somehow wine just doesn’t feel right. Kind of like how not eating the complementary rye bread that comes to the table doesn’t feel right, even though it means that I’m already half full before the apps arrive.

Gypsy Schnitzel

We start off with the deep fried camembert cheese and receive a huge breaded and deep fried round of the stuff. It comes out golden and crispy on the outside and warm and creamy on the inside. They serve it on a toasted piece of bread with a thick dark currant jam on the side, of which the sweet and tart flavors perfectly complement the rich cheese.

We then receive two plates of the house salad, which is quite unique in comparison to many other places. The salad is basically a handful or so of fresh greens topped with a medley of finely diced pickled veggies in an oil and vinegar dressing. Little pieces of carrots, red cabbage and onion can be picked out, creating a colourful, flavourful and interesting start to our meal.

Liver and Onions

Our mains arrive at the table – two heaping plates of meat, sauce and spaetzle. My boyfriend ordered the liver and onions because a) he loves liver and onions and b) he says it’s the best he’s ever had (I can’t really comment on this because unfortunately I really, really don’t like liver and onions). I ordered the gypsy schnitzel, a classic thin piece of breaded pork covered in a rich paprika sauce. It comes with a huge portion of spaetzle and grilled veggies. The sauce is savoury but not spicy, with sliced red peppers and onions to give it a bit of texture and depth of flavour.

We didn’t have room for dessert (or for all of the spaetzle) and we both left feeling very satisfied and exceptionally full.  I certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious schnitzel (Michael recommends it for anyone looking for amazing liver and onions) and an overall very good dining experience in Hamilton. 

Bite-Sized: Nabil's Middle East Fast Food, Hamilton, Ontario

On the corner of James North and Wilson in Hamilton is a strip mall. Inside this strip mall there is a pet store, a pretty good sushi buffet and among other things, the best falafel I have ever had. I have sworn by Nabil’s for falafels since 2006 and it is simply the best (better than all the rest). 

The Falafel Pita:

Warm, soft pita that gets doused in a spicy red sauce and creamy garlic sauce, while two big fresh falafel balls get fried and then placed inside the pita. They add lettuce and tomatoes, wrap it all up and quickly throw it on the grill for a slightly crisp and very warm pita. The magic of this pita is both the quality of the falafel – crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with lots of parsley and garlic – as well as the creamy garlic sauce. While a lot of falafel pitas tend to be dry and bland, this one is creamy and full of flavor. I highly recommend it!

Hamilton Farmer's Market: Hamilton, Ontario

Hamilton Farmer's Market

With the summer quickly approaching and an abundance of local produce hitting the shelves, I thought it would be the perfect time for a post about the Hamilton Farmer’s Market. While the market is busy all year round, I know that many people find the whole thing a bit daunting. Which bakery should I choose for my bread? While veggie and fruit stands are locally sourced? Who has the best price on cheese, meat and spreads? Where can I get more of those amazing butter tarts my co-worker brought to work from the market?

When I was a student attending McMaster University, one of my fellow poli-sci students introduced me to the market. He said that he went there religiously and after one visit I was hooked! I enjoyed making my way downtown from campus and continue to go at least once a week on my lunch now that I am working nearby. The market in downtown Hamilton is a bright, bustling and welcoming space and today I will be giving you the inside scoop!

Hamilton Farmer's Market

First thing you should know is that the market is located in Jackson Square, next to the Hamilton Library. It is open on Tuesday 7-6, Thursday 7-6, Friday 8-6 and Saturday 6-6 every week. It has been around since 1837 and was recently renovated with lots of windows and community spaces. It is divided into an upper and lower floor, with small to large stalls as well as space for people to sit, eat and relax. Here are some of my favorite stops:

Baked Goods: 

Genuine's Bread House Bake

Located on the main floor, Baltic Bakery is one of the many bakeries you will find in the Hamilton Farmer's Market. I like to go to this place if I need a lot of buns for either a BBQ or party. Very fresh, always friendly and very reasonably priced. Another favorite that I often go to for fresh bread is Genuine’s Bread House Bakery located on the lower level. They have farmer’s sour dough, caraway rye and a lot of other options. Plus, they will slice it for you on the spot! Last but not least is Lina’s European Bakery. I dream about this place. When I first took my friend Diane for butter tarts, we ended up going back three times to get more! Needless to say, she makes amazing baked goods and I would highly recommend checking her stall out on the lower level (especially the butter tarts!) 

Apples!

Fruits and Veggies: This one is tough because there are SO many fruit and vegetable booths (not complaining!) Here I would really recommend just taking your time, walking around and scoping out your options. In the summer you can find a lot of great Ontario produce and taking the time to look around means you will also find the best deal. For apples I pretty much always go to Bentford Orchards because they are local and always crisp and delicious. Fleetwood Farms is another great option – they are based out of London and always have a lot of great veggie options to keep all of your meals local and full of variety.

Huong Tang

Fish: Again, you have many options but I have been going to the Huong Tang Fish Market located in the lower level since undergrad. I have tried a lot of their seafood and it has always been exceptionally fresh and very reasonably priced. 

Romano Cheese Deli & Olives

Meat & Cheese: The whole point of going to the market is to take your time and try new things. Through the course of many years and many meals, I have found several great booths for meat and cheese (and olives, obviously). For my cheese and olives I love going to Romano Cheese Deli and Olives. The service is always friendly (and comes with samples!) and they have a wonderful cheese selection. They also offer a variety of olives and oils and I usually get a mixed container since they are all so tasty (one of my faves is olives with oregano and celery in oil!) For my cured meat, I usually go to Sam’s Cheese, especially when I am craving spicy pepperettes! 

Jam: Here I am very specific because I love this jam (though I should mention that I am biased since I really have not explored the other jam options in the market). At Sam the Produce Man’s vegetable stall in the lower level is a shelving unit full of wonderful homemade jams. My favorites are peach and apricot and I have been going to this place for my jam needs for a long time!

Ercillia's

Specialty: Finally, a wonderful booth that I discovered this year is Ercillia’s Fine Foods in the lower level. Specializing in Portuguese food, Ercillia’s has a little bit of everything – fresh chorizo, savoury spreads, sweet custards and much more. My two favorite items here are the milk bread, a traditional sweet bread from the Azores region as well as their lemon salsa. The owners are both extremely friendly and helpful (but you should note that you will be hooked on the milk bread once you start going!)

I hope my market highlights will encourage you to check out the Hamilton Farmer's Market soon!

Bite-Sized: Tally Ho, Hamilton, Ontario

Tally Ho’s roast beef sandwiches are not, I repeat, not just for drunken McMaster students returning from a bar somewhere in the West end. Located at 1536 Main West in Hamilton, Tally Ho’s is something of a magical food happy place legend. While I admit that I first learned of Tally Ho’s while I was attending McMaster as a student, I recently returned and was pleasantly surprised to taste the exact same incredible sandwich that I had eaten some 5 years ago.

Roast Beef Sandwich

It all starts with a soft, warm sesame seed bun. The bun is sliced and gets a spoonful of their hot, savoury gravy. (side note: my mouth is already watering as I type this). A generous portion of the most tender and thinly sliced roast beef is placed in a special warmer. Picture a hot plate with a lid that allows the meat to heat up while staying moist and flavourful. This gets piled onto the gravied bun and then more gravy is added on top. Ordering the Roast Beef Basket means that you also get fries and coleslaw, which I highly recommend, and you necessarily need to get extra gravy for the fries. The gravy isn’t anything fancy but it is always hot and just the right consistency to dunk your sandwich in if you feel the need for a bit more sauce. The coleslaw provides the perfect crunchy, creamy contrast in between mouthfuls of meat and gravy. Basically, this sandwich is amazing. (side note: I am about to get into my car to go get two one two).

Yes – if you go after 11 pm on any given night, you will be surrounded by drunk students (and if you go at lunch time on a weekday and see a young woman in a business suit shamelessly going HAM on a sandwich in a corner, it is me) – but it is oh, so very worth it. 

Spring Rolls: Hamilton, Ontario

Assorted Spring Rolls Platter

Among the many renovations currently taking place at Limeridge Mall on Upper Wentworth in Hamilton is the arrival of Spring Rolls, a Pan-Asian restaurant chain from Toronto. When I was living in Toronto, I had eaten at Spring Rolls a few times and while it was always enjoyable, it never blew me away. I was pleasantly surprised on my recent visit to their Hamilton location, both for the overall dining experience and the food itself.

Cashew Chicken

In a beautifully renovated space, the restaurant feels bright, welcoming and very modern. Unlike some of their Toronto locations, the tables feel spacious and we didn’t feel rushed or crammed in. They have a contemporary menu, with many options divided by type of cuisine – Japanese, Thai and Chinese – along with a few specialty items, soups, salads and desserts. There is a lot to choose from and I would imagine that almost anyone could find something on the menu to suit their tastes.

We started our meal with the assorted spring rolls platter. This came with a variety of hot and cold rolls as well as hoisin sauce and sweet chili sauce on the side. It also came with a good-sized portion of mango salad in the centre of the platter. The rolls all tasted very fresh and the salad was crisp and refreshing.

Singapore Noodles

For the mains, we ordered the Singapore noodles (with whole wheat noodles), the cashew chicken and the mango salad with chicken satay which came with a bowl of miso soup. Everything was delicious. The noodles came in a tasty curry sauce with shrimp and veggies. The cashew chicken was equally good with lots of nuts and big pieces of chicken. Everything tasted fresh and came out hot. While I likely would not have ordered the mango salad as a main had I known we were getting some with the appetizer, I still ate most of it and the chicken satay was a great addition; grilled skewered chicken breasts with a warm peanut sauce on the side.

Mango Salad with Chicken Satay

The portions were perfect for lunch – in fact we had some to take home – and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was fresh and filling. Is it my personal favorite Pan-Asian in the city? Probably not. But it is none-the-less an enjoyable dining experience with a lot of fresh menu choices and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal after a day of shopping at Limeridge. 

Rapscallion: Hamilton, Ontario

Without sounding like a broken record, I have to agree with everyone who’s ever been to Rapscallion - it is a great restaurant and a truly wonderful dining experience. Located on the corner of John St. and Young St., Rapscallion is drastically raising the bar for restaurants in Hamilton. While their hours can be a bit of a challenge (Thurs – Sunday only), I can assure you that it is worth the effort. Did I mention that I had spam and loved it?

Foie Gras Torchon

This cozy restaurant packs a small list of bold menu items that are original yet feel like comfort food at the same time. By combining classic dishes with unusual ingredients, the unsuspecting diner is sure to be happily surprised with their meal. They offer up a selection of small plates, encouraging you to order 2-3 items per person. Their wine list is short and they only had one VQA option - a Reif Estate Pinot Grigio, which I ordered. My boyfriend had a Mickey’s, a little green-bottled beer from Milwaukee, which was the only beer available. Although I was initially somewhat disappointed by the lack of selection, I pretty much immediately forgot about that as soon as our first order of small plates arrived. 

Pickled Pork Shoulder
and Triple-Cream
Brie Grilled Cheese

I ordered the foie gras torchon, one of their menu staples. The server (who was extremely informative, personable and friendly) informed us that this was the last night you could get it served cold because they would soon be serving it warm and seared. I’m really, really glad I ordered it. On my plate was a small round serving of soft housemade foie gras. It was light and creamy and didn’t leave an oily residue in my mouth. It was topped with a sprinkling of coarse kosher salt and homemade ice wine jelly that looked like little yellow diamonds. On the other side of the plate were port-soaked grapes and slices of soft homemade brioche. The creamy saltiness of the foie gras went perfectly with the sweetness of the grapes while the brioche added a lovely texture to each bite. My boyfriend ordered the grilled cheese with pickled pork shoulder, triple-cream brie and carmelized onions. It was grilled to perfection, greasy from the butter and the flavors were incredible. Salty, juicy pork with creamy brie, all thoughtfully rounded out by the sweet flavor of the onions.

Cobb Salad

We then split their version of a cobb salad, a perfect example of how there are taking a common dish and transforming it into something unique and memorable. A traditional cobb salad goes something like this: shredded lettuce, diced veggies, boiled eggs and bacon.   The Rapscallion cobb has diced tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado and sugar snap peas in sections on a plate surrounding a small pile of dressed lettuce in the centre (my inner OCD was smiling at the organization and presentation). There are strips of fried spam on one side and on top is a fried quail egg. They drizzle their homemade  creamy dressing over the whole thing and it is perfect. We inhaled the salad, afraid that the other might get an extra bite.

Lamb Parmentier

Tongue and Cheek

Next on our list was lamb parmentier for me and tongue and cheek for my boyfriend. The tongue and cheek came served on a homemade potato pancake, with rich, savory gravy and asparagus. The veal cheek basically looks and tastes a lot like a very tender piece of roast beef and the tongue was similar. While I had previously tasted cured deli-style cow tongue at Vineland Estates Winery, this version was very different in that it was a whole piece of tongue. My boyfriend loved it and the gravy and potato pancake were well-suited to the dish. The lamb parmentier came in a small cast iron ramekin, piping hot from the oven (or more likely the salamander). When I stuck in my fork, I found a layer of tender lamb, topped with buttery mashed potatoes and goat cheese. The lamb was braised, pulled and stewed then baked into this little pot. The potatoes were creamy and mashed with goat cheese which, when baked, gave it a beautiful golden top. It was a warm and comforting dish.

Lemon Curd Crepe

Last but not least: dessert! When the server told us that they had sugar pie on the menu, I instantly knew that was what I would order. Have you ever had sugar pie? My aunt from Québec makes it for me whenever I visit because it is my favorite (well, it is one of my favorites… I have a lot of favorites). Sugar pie, or tarte au sucre as it is known in my family, is a simple pie with lots of brown sugar and often maple syrup. Rapscallion made a traditional version of the pie, serving it warm and à la mode with homemade ice cream on top and lots of maple syrup underneath. My boyfriend ordered the lemon curd crèpe, which came with fresh berries and a deliciously tart lemon filling! They were two very different and very delicious desserts. 

Sugar Pie

I will absolutely, 100% be going back to Rapscallion A.S.A.P. and would recommend it to anyone! (Though, perhaps not to vegetarians since pretty much everything on the menu has meat in it). 

Happy MEating!
