Cozy Bay Seafood Cafe

I have a guest reporter today: my dad!

Here's what he has to say:
Just got back from a weekend in the Okanagan and it's my pleasure to report on a fish and chip shop in Summerland that serves fish with gluten-free batter. The decor is funky and the service is FRIENDLY!

It's the Cozy Bay Seafood Cafe
'A cozy Old English Style fish & chip shop with so much more to offer. Decorated with all manner of ocean related arts, crafts and history, this cafe is a feast for the eye as well as the taste buds.'
Address: 13220 North Victoria Road Summerland BC V0H 1Z0
If you get a chance, check it out.

Papa Num Num

This Bud's for you and me?

My dear friend, Paul, returned from a trip to the States this weekend with a very delicious gift for me. Anheuser Busch, home of Budweiser, have produced a gluten-free beer made from sorghum. Behold: Redbridge Lager!
What a treat! It has a distinctly malty flavour with depth and a honey aftertaste. Very real tasting, indeed. Anyway, just as barbeque season is about to start, this couldn't have come at a better time. However, we just need to find a way to source it up here in Canada. Keep your eyes peeled and maybe fire off an email or two. I'll also speak with the manager at my local liquor store...you never know!
