The portable grill formerly known as Mamak, Asado re-branded in the mobile food off-season, and now…read moreseems to be focused on southern BBQ, rather than a tenuous Malaysian theme. For the past couple weeks, they've been set up on North Park Street, just a short walk across the Common for me, so after a failed attempt after they closed early on a previous day, I hit them up on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon.  Their new smoker/grill is an impressive get up, with wheels and a hitch so that it's easily hauled by a truck. They have a fairly compact menu for streetside eats, with ribs, chicken, corn on the cob and drinks available, and rustically displayed on a pallet/menu. On this day there was protein only (sorry, not sorry, vegans), but since I'm not a corn fan, I was indifferent. At $3 for a full chicken leg or rib (4 ribs for $10), I went for the half-ish rack of ribs and chicken. After a quick finishing swab of BBQ sauce on the ribs, I was on my way back home to eat my carnivorous delights in the sun on my back deck. The ribs had a noticeable pink smoke ring, which was encouraging. The flavour matched, and they had a good bark as well. The meat was a marginally overcooked, as it didn't quite come off the bone in clean bites, but it wasn't appreciably dry. Note that these ribs aren't St. Louis cut, so they have the gnarly knuckles on one end. The sauce was good - not too sweet and with a hint of spice. My chicken was just as good, with a nice smoke flavour and I thought the sauce was a bit spicier than the ribs, but I could be wrong and they could use the exact same one. This sort of stuff makes summer days in peninsular Halifax what they are - a combination of beautiful weather (when we get it...), nice surroundings and easy access to entrepreneurs like Asado. Keep on smoking, folks. PS. Asado has an impressive catering menu on their website, full of many southern BBQ delights.

I love me the Nomad Gourmet…read more My first experience was at a Local Connections Halifax event linked up with Propeller Beer. Bought a ticket, got beer and NG burgers. It was beer and burger heaven for the evening. My second experience was sampling their sausages on a bun when checking out the Man Show part of the Exhibition Park Christmas Craft Fair. One thing is clear, you don't have to be a man to enjoy the tasty morsels being served up from the NG kitchen. And then this weekend I got to try breakfast Nomad style. I chose to "build my own breakfast' for $4. The way this works is you get an egg and hash browns and add on things at your choosing for extra $. I added some bacon and got the BEST BACON of my life. It was perfectly grilled and made my weekend. The egg was fried egg perfection and there were too many hash browns for me to eat. The hash browns are real local potatoes cooked on the grill and have a charbroiled taste to them. Pro-tip - NG will now be at the Halifax Seaport Market on weekend mornings as long as there isn't a cruise ship in harbour. Extra Pro-tip - I didn't try the breakfast sandwich - but people - it's homemade Belgian waffles with chicken!! One final tip - when your handsome pirate brother has a new baby the way to the new parents hearts is to bring Nomad Gourmet burgers to the hospital for lunch the day after the baby is born. That way both new parents are happily stuffing their faces with burger goodness and you get your brand new niece all to yourself! (at least until the burgers are devoured...)

Judging by their Facebook page, you'd think this place was a dessert store only - nothing but sweet…read morefood promoted. I am less interested in dessert so I had no intention of trying it, but an acquaintance told me they also serve meals and that it's quite good. But I didn't have very good luck when I opted to try it. The first time I tried to get in to try it, I got there around 7:30 and was told that they were pretty much sold out of everything. They close at 8 so that wasn't completely implausible. I tried again a couple weeks later, this time showing up at 6 pm, wanting to try their stew that was on special but they had run out of that as well. They had other items on the menu available but none were whetting my appetite so I left and figured it wasn't meant to be for me to try this place. Recently, I noticed they had vegetable lasagna on special. So I decided to try again (this time around 1 pm) and they finally still had some left! I took it home and immediately noticed that the cheese was not melted, still grated. Uh, okay. Does that mean I actually have to bake it myself? That part wasn't made clear at all. I thought this place offered ready to go meals. Since I took it home, it was no problem to pop it into the oven, but if I was hoping to have it for lunch while at work I would have been SOL. So I baked it, not knowing what temperature to bake it at or for how long because it wasn't clear whether it was a take and bake item or ready made. There were no instructions with it either. I just took it out when it looked done. I have to say, this was one of the driest, blandest lasagnas I've had in a long time. Very few veggies and virtually no sauce. I don't get the hype surrounding this place. It's confusing as to weather their food is ready made or not, and it isn't clearly marked anywhere in the store or online indicating either way. I probably won't be back any time soon.

The cheese and other toppings however were on point. It's a very thin type of pizza but the sag was a bit excessive in my opinion. The dough was alright and sauce were okay too but for $20 I could get heaven on earth at various other "gourmet" pizza places. Not a bad pizza but for the price there is much better. I do have to add though that their desserts look phenomenal, so perhaps I'll make another trip just to try those.

There are plenty of menu options, subs, donair egg rolls, salads, paninis, donairs, fish and chips, pasta, poutine, onion rings, fries, chicken fingers or wings and some great looking Lebanese fare. I can only talk about the pizza, and it was alright. Pizza appears to be made as they need it and wasn't fresh from the oven when we arrived for dinner, but it was reheated before serving to us. And for 8$ I really couldn't complain. It was tasty and hit the spot. Service was all behind the counter and friendly and prompt. We ate in and grabbed a booth which was clean and tidy. All in a all a good quick meal option and appears to be a mainstay for Burnside lunches.

I believe it's a…read moremother-daughter team that run the business and while the food was great, their customer service was horrible. The mother, right from our tasting meeting to the wedding day was out and out rude and obnoxious. When she wanted to get paid, she had no problem interrupting a conversation I was having at my wedding reception so she would get her cheque. My mother in law and other family members had to arrange desserts, which they prepared, on trays in the kitchen they shared with the caterers, and they all said how rude and unpleasant the older lady was. To top it off when the wedding was over, there was quite a bit of food left over. Now seeing as how we paid for it-all of it, we should have kept it, but they packed it up and took it with them. The mother was so aggressive I didn't dare question it-not worth it on my wedding day. I can understand working in an industry where you deal with high maintenance brides and their families would get old. We however, weren't like that, and it shouldn't be reflected in a caterer owner's customer service-thats very, very bad business sense. All in all, while everyone liked the food, their rudeness left such a bad taste in our mouths, that I would never recommend them to anyone.
