AAA chuck blueberry brie burger, fish & chips, calamari, cod cakes, fried zucchini
Burger: Blueberry BBQ sauce, mayo, caramelized onions, lettuce, at a maritime restaurant in Ontario Canada. Very solid 9/10, thoroughly enjoyed. I would have personally done red onion instead of caramelized, just subjective opinion I think that touch of acidity + crunch would have been nice vs sweetness overload, but all in all every bite was still really great. I’m not a food snob by any means but man can you ever taste the difference between a fresh made patty like this vs a frozen/processed one.
Newfie poutine in the background of burger (fries with savoury bread stuffing/dressing + gravy)

Occo Kitchen seemed really hit & miss on here so decided to give it a try. Solid 9/10
From left to right; Blueberry brie burger + newfie fries > calamari, scallops, cod cakes > fish n chips > custom cocktail (I remember it was gin-based but I can’t recall what else he added in it)
I would have personally done red onion instead of caramelized on my blueberry brie burger, just subjective opinion I think that touch of acidity + crunch would have been nice vs sweetness overload, but all in all every bite was still really great. I’m not a food snob by any means but man can you ever taste the difference between a fresh made patty like this vs a frozen/processed one!
My mom however is a total battered fish snob and she LOVED her fish n chips. She was saying at the end that she wished she had ordered the 2 pc instead of just 1 pc (not because she was still hungry, but because she loved it so much lol)
$87 subtotal for the 2 apps + 2 mains, a little pricey but I will be back for sure.

Any do’s and dont’s you’d recommend for sourdough english muffins?
Hey everyone! English muffin n00b here. I’d love to give sourdough English muffins a try. Usually I read a few recipes and usually they follow a trend of common themes. But English muffins are stumping me a little. One of those things a lot of folks seem to do each differently. Some say bulk ferment overnight, some say same day. Some insist on muffin rings. Different notes on thickness, hydration, etc.
So I was wondering if anyone has any general “tried this and it did/didn’t work” I could learn from for their sourdough English muffins? Or a tried and true recipe too I’d be happy with! I usually keep my starter at 100% hydration but can be flexible if needed for a better result.
My starter’s name is Breaddie Mercury, you’ve definitely seen her and her goodies around here before 🕺 TIA!
Excellent meal at St. Martha’s Brasserie, solid 8/10
White wine clams 8/10, escargot 9/10, meatballs 7/10, fries 10/10, della carne pizza 8/10
Some dinners I’ve made for my family this summer!
From left to right: Drumsticks, bruschetta sourdough & gravlax amuse-bouche > Grilled cheese on sourdough, bread & butter pickles, marinated mushrooms, devilled eggs > NY strip > Sausage & Buffalo cauliflower ‘wings’ > Burger & fries (I did not make this one, just wanted to share!) > Ratatouille en rosace (made this in a cooking class!) > Brandy braised chicken, sourdough dinner bun & veggies + pancetta > Ribs, veg + loaded baked potato
My family goes bananas for my homemade sourdough lol, hence why I try to use it a lot! My starter’s name is Breaddie Mercury 🕺

Favourite menu items at Occo Kitchen?
I just booked a reservation next week, just wondering what everyone’s favourite menu items are there, or anything that was less enjoyable to avoid?
Many thanks 🙏
