For the curious, the name of this blog comes from something my Grandmother used to say.
I'd ask "Nanny, what's for supper?" and she would often reply, "oh I don't know, maybe fried farts and vinegar." It seemed like a pretty random and curious combination of things.
I hope this blog will live up to those standards...

Globe trotting...

Last night we tried out Charlotettown's hottest new restaurant, The Globe. I would have to describe it as fantastically mediocre. We had wonderful service and the location benefits from the truly un-Charlottetownesqueness of Victoria Row. However I am sorry to say that the food was merely "good". There was certainly nothing to complain about but also nothing that would encourage me to recommend it to friends or family.

Charlottetown has an amazing selection of dining choices and in this price point there are simply better options. It's great to see someone try to do something unique and different but I am afraid they just fall a little short. There's better curries at Churchill's, better steak at Sims, and better drinks at Pat and Willy's.

With it's "interesting decor, great location and varied menu The Globe could be GREAT. Sadly it is just good in a town where great is right next door or at least no more than a block away.
