Fourth Food Blog - Out to eat in Ottawa

This last weekend I visited the city of Ottawa.  While I was there I ate at several interesting places.

The Smoque Shack
We visited the Smoque Shack the first night we were in Ottawa.  There was almost nothing on the menu I was averse to trying which made me happy.  Unfortunately I knew my stomach was so empty I opted to go for a smaller portion of pulled pork.  The pulled pork was delicious, it was firm without being tough, it was very spicy for me and combined with the root beer I was drinking forced me to back off between bites.

Jail Hostel Breakfast
For breakfast we ate at the hostel.  I went with a whole wheat bagel and orange juice.  As I ate the bagel I wondered again why whole wheat tastes so gross.  The orange juice was a good sweet orange juice, it had no pulp but that was only a minor disappointment.

Pizza
The pizza place was very fancy, I got a pizza covered in sausage bits.  The pizza was very savory.  The sausage bits were chewy but a bit crunchy they had that Italian sausage tang.  The cheese was simple none of the usual fancy tricks, it had a sweet aftertaste. 

The pizza place also had very good service. The meals were quickly cooked and delivered straight to the people who ordered them.

Thai
 Everyone ordered food for the group at the Thai restaurant.  I ordered chicken sauted with snow peas.  The sauce made everything extremely sweet.  The chicken was least affected, it was well cooked and the interplay of sweet and savory made the chicken delicious.  I wasn't feeling so well so I mostly enjoyed watching everyone else have fun eating.

Brunch
I had Cranberry French Toast at the fancy brunch place we ate at.  The cranberries were extremely tart, which would disturb the savory taste of the french toast covered in maple syrup.  In spite of the discord of the various food types, the meal was delicious.
