Last night we had the very best meal I've had in Edmonton and possibly the best meal I've had since moving to Cananda with the exception of maybe the first dinner we had at Emerald Lake. We we lucky enough to be treated to dinner at Characters in downtown Edmonton and were even more lucky to be seated at the chef's table right in front of all the action. This really cool evening was a special treat for us from Jo as a thank you for some of the photography work I've done for her lately. To make the evening even more special, both of Jo's son's are very talented chef's and were hard at work preparing our amazing dinner's.... right in front of us! It really did make the evening pretty special.
Kyle and Josh hard at work in the Characters kitchen.
Needless to say, Neil loved it! He would love to be a chef and was secretly a bit jealous that he wasn't in the kitchen himself.
Josh, on the right, is only back at Characters for Christmas. He's spent the last year working at a spangly restaurant in Vancouver and after Christmas is moving to the UK to try his luck at one of London's best restaurants.
The boy's treated us to some delicious wine from the Vine Cliff winery in the Napa Valley. Oh it was soooo good!
It's so rare for us to get out for a nice meal these days and this evening with Jo couldn't have come at a better time for us. It was really good to be able to take our minds off everything and enjoy an absolutely amazing meal with great company and meet some cool chef's too!
Thank you Jo, it was so worth the wait!!
