5 Things We’re Excited to Eat and Drink This September

This month, chow down on suya chicken and waffles, drink a special anniversary cocktail and more.

Suya Chicken and Waffles from Ahinke

Earlier this month, local restaurant Ahinke revealed a new look and a new Nigerian-Canadian fusion brunch menu that is calling our name. Pop in to try dishes like cinnamon sugar puff puff waffles, suya chicken and waffles, Plantain Paradise French Toast and more in the restaurant’s newly revamped space.

Campfire S’mores Ice Cream from Foothills Creamery

Every summer, Foothills Creamery ups the ante with new summer ice cream flavours that you can purchase at local grocery stores to enjoy at home. This year is no exception. Offerings like Campfire S’mores, Root Beer Float, Moon Mist and more are now available in 1.4-litre or 500-ml quantities (depending on the flavour) at local retailers like Calgary Co-op, Sunterra, select Sobeys and Safeway locations and more. We’re particularly excited about the Campfire S’mores flavour in a 1.4-litre container, which is a great transitional ice cream for fall with its toasted marshmallow base filled with graham cracker pieces and a chocolate ribbon.

The Rocky Mountain Manhattan from Hy’s Steakhouse and Bar

One of Calgary’s most popular steakhouses is celebrating an important milestone. Hy’s has been around since 1955, but this year marks its 10th anniversary at its current location at The Core Shopping Centre in downtown Calgary. To mark the occasion, the family-owned restaurant is offering a special cocktail this month. Created through a partnership with Reifel Rye, the Rocky Mountain Manhattan is composed of rye, amaro, sweet vermouth and black cherry brandy. Plus, part of this drink’s sales will support SAIT’s John Aisenstat Memorial Award.
