This was my first time joining 604 Foodtography, Food and Tell, Foodie Adventures in Vancouver, I’m Only Here for the Food, My Secret Eden, Sherman’s Food Adventures, and Yum-O-Rama food bloggers for a meal at the Irish Heather’s Long Table Series for dinner. It was fun and exciting to meet a new group of bloggers that share a common interest.
Tonight’s Long Table Series was sponsored by Steam Whistle Brewing. They were promoting Steam Whistle Pilsner - a golden, refreshing brew with a distinctive hop aroma, tasty malt flavour, and a clean, crisp finish.
Irish Heather was serving half a Cornish Game Hen for the night’s Long Table Series. The meat was cooked to perfection - juicy, tender and well seasoned. This dish included coleslaw, fries and gravy sides. I would have preferred the coleslaw a little more creamier and acidic. Next, the house cut fries were excellent. Surprisingly, the gravy was light and delicious. It was a perfect dip for the chicken and fries. Some of the fries on the bottom of the plate has been soaked with gravy providing a fabulous treat.
The meal was subsidized by Steam Whistle Brewing as part of the promo and marketing campaign. How else can a meal like this only be $12? Thanks to Kim for organizing the get together.
Five Loaves Rating:
Value: 9/10
Quality: 7/10
Overall: 8/10
Verdict: Half a cornish hen, coleslaw, chips and a bottle of pilsner for $12 is definitely an awesome deal!
