Grilled Corn, Bacon & Vidalia relish

When a condiment is this awesome, who needs a burger?

Like most people, I love a good burger. Perhaps even more than most people. Even still, the same old burger toppings get stale after a while. While “mustard, a bit of relish, onions and pickles” is my classic standby, I just have to change things up a bit these days. My new fave topping is any variety of corn relish.

If corn relish is good, just add bacon!

Tonight’s creation is in danger of not making it to the condiment station, as it is being consumed one discreet spoonful at a time as we wait for our guests to arrive.

Check it out after the break.

We aren’t huge tequila fans here in the FAB Whitby kitchen, but a chance encounter with a Patron Margarita while covering a race at Lime Rock a few years ago, changed all that. Patron isn’t one of those cheap ass, worm in the bottle, mezcal type of plonk. No, the company elevates the production of [...]

102 Brock Street South in Whitby is part of a building that was called Deverell’s Block when it was first built in 1878. From 1900 to 1917, it was part of a hotel called the Windsor Hotel. After many, many years housing an Ontario driver’s licence office and travel agency, it is fitting that the [...]
