- I’ve had a few people message me about the breakfast sandwiches from Bruin, a weekend pop-up at St. Albert’s Bread Love. It’s been open since December, and has already amassed its share of fans. Looking forward to checking it out!

- A new food truck called Hibachi House Japanese Teppanyaki Grill will be opening on April 17 at The Lodge Inn parking lot, 15540 Stony Plain Road NW.
- The influx of American sandwich chains continue (something I am questioning just with the sheer volume over the past couple of years): this week sees Jimmy John’s enter the Edmonton area market, in Sherwood Park. Find it at 140, 663 Wye Road.
- Dennis Africa and Caribbean Market is now open at 17635 58 Street NW.
- Blue Chair announced its closure after 22 years in business, and will close permanently April 26.
- Progress means that even old high school haunts have to go – in this case, it means the Boston Pizza on Jasper Avenue and 106 Street, which closed on March 31. Mack and I had many a meal there back in the early ‘aughts.
