The are few things in the world that make me happier that a dozen freshly shucked Nova Scotia oysters - and Sober Island's are especially awesome. #happyplace (at Lot Six Bar & Restaurant)

These #hops from @meanderriver are gorgeous. They smell as beautiful as they look. #goodcheertrail #nacraftbeer (at Meander River Farm)

Fried Green Tomato #BLT with pimento cheese from @thecanteenns. Get it in your belly now. So good. (at The Canteen)

Like a kid in a candy store. (at Dartmouth Farmers' Market)

Now this is a beer that my 5 year old son gets excited about. B-Side Brewing Label's La Formidable American-Belgo IPA. Optimus-Approved. @beausallnatural

Amazing spread at @brooklynhalifax today to kickoff the 2015 @tasteofns Prestige Awards. Nicely done @chefmjgray!! (at The Brooklyn Warehouse)

Just fantasizing about this beautiful pastry accompanied by an even better cappuccino that I had at @cafemyriade last week. Far cry from the crap that I drank and ate on the road this morning. (Side note: If it doesn't already exist, somebody needs to create a guide for eating honest and authentic food while traveling on the Trans Canada. I know that are gems out there, but they aren't easy to find.) (at Cafe Myriade)

Sitting here in my cheap hotel room, eating a terrible fast food sandwich and drinking shitty beer, I can't stop dreaming about this incredible duck liver pâté that I ate at Lawrence in Montreal one week ago. What I would do to have this right now... (at Lawrence)

Mandatory pit stop for some #cheesecurds and Grey Owl. Hope that these guys are doing alright since the new highway opened. Now it's really a #detour. #fromagerie #quebec #cheese (at Fromagerie Le Détour, St Louis De Ah Ah)

When in Rome (or Quebec in this case). Club et #poutine. C'est #naptime maintenant. Great spot in Dummondville. Perfect way to break up the long drive home. #summervacation (at Le Roy Jucep - Page officielle)

Nothing say #Summer like some fat ass #t-bones on the grill.

So many great dishes during our 3 day eating adventure in #Montreal, but this one from Lawrence was my fave. Summer melon, housemade coppa, fresh goat cheese, olive oil and mint. Simple and fresh. A real taste of summer. Can't wait to get back to continue eating my way around the city. (at Lawrence)

This is my kind of breakfast. Cappuccino, amazing brioche with cherries and almonds and the best house made fresh ricotta with honey and orange zest. Perfect for spreading on the toasted sourdough. It may be touristy, but @chezolive was awesome. #Montreal (at Olive et Gourmando)

Noisy, crowded, impersonal, cash only and frigging delicious. That's how I like my #pho. (at Restaurant Pho Bac Inc)

Such a solid experience tonight at @maisonpublique. The baked oyster was insane. Still trying to comprehend the deliciousness. So damn good. (at Restaurant Maison Publique)

Mega haul at the strawberry u-pick today. 70lbs in total. The are unbelievably good. Just at the absolute peak of ripeness. A true taste of summer. (at River Breeze Farm Market)

Cherry pie doesn't get better than this. Such an incredible taste of summer. (at Evangeline Inn and Motel Inc. (Stirlings))
