ottawa foodies

You know, I find it sad that Ottawa Magazine's 101 list is so lack luster this year : ( I really found it repetitive, and not at all inspiring. So, I took it upon myself to start an Ottawa Foodies list. Please feel free to add your own items to the list! Hopefully we can reach 101!

1. Chicken in Pandanus Leaves -Royal Thai
2. Chicken Satay - Saigon Pho
3. Duck Confit - The Piggy Market
4. Pad Thai - Nokham Thai
5. Fig Cheese Dip -Epicuria
6. Carrot Cake- Bread and Sons

Care to share your must haves?

I have a lot more, but I don't want to hog the whole page ; )

Amuse

7. Red Velvet Cupcake - the Candy Store/Cupcake Lounge
8. Cod Sandwich from Whalesbone Sustainable Fish Supply
9. Creamsicle Creme Brulee - Play Food and Wine (not on the menu anymore :( )
10. Pulled Pork - The Piggy Market
11. Mixed berry tart - Three Tarts

I have a lot more too, but those are the first things on my mind!

Creamsicle creme brulee sounds delicious!!! Boo on them for not making it any more ; P

I really like this idea. But, for the record, the re-released version of the Ottawa Magazine list was not a revised list, but rather re-released, with additions for the three or four items that are no longer available.

Not to be macabre . . . :-), but I remember there was a government website showing what condemned prisoners got for their last meal - it was mostly the worst sort of junk food, but hey, why not? Whether it's healthy or not would be moot. I believe Timothy McVeigh asked for and ate two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream . . .

Will try to think of more later, but must have:

12. Croissants - French Baker
13. Boar curry - Siam Bistro
14. Duck confit - Murray Street

I haven't had the confit from Piggy Market, so I can't say that one should be on there and the other shouldn't, but the Murray Street confit is the best I've had, anywhere, in any city.

15. Art-is-in baguette
16. Navajo fry bread from Sweetgrass (possibly in taco form)

I will steal my own list from a previous Top Ten Foods in Ottawa thread:

In no particular order:

- True Loaf bread
- French Baker croissants and chocolatines
- Stubbe cakes/tortes
- Pascale's ice cream
- Piggy Market sausages and sandwiches
- Golden Palace Egg Rolls
- Koko Chocolates chocolates
- Colonnade Pizza
- Les Fougeres tourtiere
- Poutine from JP's/Crispy Chips
- Back Forty cheese
- Pupusas from La Cabana
- Chicken Shawarma from Marroush

Forum - What are your top ten Ottawa foods?

0 - I'm pretty happy where I am, living day to day :-) I don't really believe in this "bucket lists" or whatever they are called. For a number of reasons, not the least of which being that they create unrealistic expectations. Why worry about 101 things I've never had when I could be thoroughly enjoying what I do have?

It's a zen thing ...

Don't know if they are on my list if it was my last meal but i do have a couple of things I love, (haven't been here in a too long while...but)
1. Andrew's burger at Infusion Bistro),
2. Crispy Quail at Vietnamese Palace,
3. BQ'd pork at the little place across from big supermarket at Arthur and somerset,
4. Fratelli's sambucca shrimp--but only when they do it right!
5. Just tried pistachio gelato at Leonidas in Kanata and I may be back soon...
5/10...
