Where I Go Out
At My Venues
Beastwich

Beastwich
$$, Reservations, Modern, American, Niagara
"There aren't very many things that are better than fried chicken. Buttermilk biscuits, a fried egg, and sausage gravy—need I say more?"
Green eggs & lamb
$$, Reservations, Modern, American, Niagara
"This dish comes with a fried egg, pine nut purée, lamb neck, and green sauce—epic!"
Fried pickles & ranch
$$, Reservations, Modern, American, Niagara
"This is the best brunch snack ever."
Veal sweetbread
$$, Reservations, Modern, American, Niagara
"Sweetbreads are a favorite gland of mine, and here they are offered as a special alongside fresh fava beans. The sweetbreads are served whole and grilled with a touch of cardamom until smoky and crisp on the outside and meltingly soft inside. It is served with ranch dressing that's been spiked with lump fish roe and topped with purslane."
Labatt 50 breakfast
$$, Reservations, Modern, American, Niagara
"The Group of Seven Chefs' Scott Vivian has filled the city's minds—and bellies—with delicious, rich food for the last couple years. It's definitely a destination spot for Sunday morning brunch and weeknights, and they have a patio out front! The Labatt 50 comes with your choice of smoked beast bacon, peameal bacon, or chorizo sausage served with two eggs any style, toast, house potatoes, and an ice-cold bottle of Labatt 50."
