soup made with love from the pandemic farm fundraiser
Last year, Kitchen by Brad and the Pandemic Farm made a delicious harvest soup to raise $$$ for the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute VAD Program and Edmonton’s Food Bank. This year, the recipe may be a little different, but the need remains. How to support these two worthy causes? Buy this year’s edition, a hearty vegetable soup made entirely from herbs and veg grown on the Pandemic Farm, on Friday, October 8, from 11:30am–1pm at the Kitchen take-out window, (10130 105 Street, kitchenbybrad.ca) while quantities last. First come, first served. Buy it hot to slurp for lunch, or cold to enjoy later, $10/litre, cash only, or, donate a little extra. Kitchen will also be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the Food Bank. Learn more about the Pandemic Farm here.

have you been to the lot yet?
The Lot on 107 that is, a cluster of food trucks, including the delicious Dick’s Tatership. The concept, by the irrepressible Lorne Merrick, features stuffed baked potatoes. His idea? To step up the street food and kitchen carnival; the Tatership is a sea can container converted to a first rate and well-organized kitchen. The menu? Cheeky. Try the Rachel Notley, with mushroom, truffle oil and sharp cheddar, or the Jagmeet Singh, with red onion, crispy jalapeño, garam masala. Partial to the Basic Betty and Bob? Can’t go wrong with butter, sea salt and pepper, chopped green onions (bacon bits and sour cream optional). Or, Tater Tots (kind of like poutine, sort of). Not in the mood for potato? Check out the not-so-basic sandwiches, grilled and otherwise. The entire experience is a trip, and tasty! October hours are Thursday-Saturday,11am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-8pm for dinner, Sunday 12-6pm with heated seating.
