Lindork’s Lists #170 – Sheep 🐑 Parade, Prime Rib 🥩, Pride Month 🌈, and a Soundtrack Music Festival 🎶 Giveaway!

Book a Sunday Prime Rib Dinner at Prestons (10155 105 St.)

• I was invited to try the $35 Sunday Night Prime Rib Dinner at the new Prestons restaurant inside the Coast Edmonton Hotel downtown and it was delicious!! Prime rib is personally my favourite thing to order if I’m going out for steak and this cut is perfect. You get chef’s choice potatoes and sides with your prime rib and you can add a giant yorkshire pudding for the table too. A very comforting Sunday night dinner (and something to consider booking for Father’s Day coming up!)

Go for Mexican at The Three Amigos (4035 106 St.)

• For my friend’s birthday we went for Mexican at The Three Amigos in south Edmonton and really enjoyed our margaritas, housemade chips with three types of salsa, shrimp tacos and chicken tostadas. Big, tasty portions and a fun vibe / decor inside. It had been years since I’d been to The Three Amigos so it was nice to return, they’ve been around for a long time—since 2005!

Try some new dishes on the Baijiu patio (10359 104 St.)

• I had a patio date planned for Baijiu recently but had to cancel so I’m still itching to go—they have a great patio and some of the dishes they’ve been sharing lately look so good, like their Indonesian Fried Rice and Aburi Salmon Sushi! I recommend showing up early to snag a patio spot as it does tend to fill up fast especially on nice, hot summer days!

Play board games with beer, coffee, cocktails and snacks at Board N Brew

• Board N Brew in downtown Edmonton (9929 103 St.) hosted some special promos last weekend for the Edmonton Cat Festival so I just wanted shout out to them this week as a fun place you can plan to spend some time playing some board games and grabbing some beer, coffee, cocktails or snacks from their solid cafe menu.

Try dim sum at Good Buddy (various locations)

• My family and I tried the dim sum menu at Good Buddy west Edmonton (3026 Granville Dr.) recently and enjoyed it! It’s a smaller menu than their north side location but you can also offset with items from their regular menu. It’s a great west end option for dim sum! Personally, I can’t dim sum without pork siu mai, deep fried shrimp wontons, and century egg congee (my fav dishes!)

It’s food truck season! Try the new Takopo truck (various locations)

• Always fun to see what new food trucks are serving Edmonton each summer, like Takopo, a Japanese street food truck that specializes in takoyaki, popular Japanese meat-filled buns (typically filled with octopus but they have a variety of fillings you can choose from) topped with bonito flakes (it’s the bonito flakes that actually make me not a big fan of takoyaki but you may love it lol or ask for it without the bonito!) This truck will be at the Callingwood Spray Park 17740 69 Ave. on June 1 from 5-9 p.m.

And here’s a few local food events you may be interested in…

• Not technically an ‘event’ but Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle in Edmonton is closing down and today (May 31) is their final day if you want to swing by to slurp up some of their noods / soup before they’re gone!

• For Pride Month, check out a Drag Brunch at the Beaumont Sea Change Taproom on June 3. Your ticket gets you brunch, beer (or non-alcoholic drink, and the show, with a portion of proceeds donated.

• Chef Winnie Chen of Fu’s Repair Shop is doing a Pride-themed six-course dinner as part of Epic’s Chef Takeovers on June 5.
