In partnership with

Ramen, mussels, and a pork tenderloin with black cherry glaze — this week's 14 hits the seasonal sweet spot hard. Asian flavours anchor much of the lineup, with a tonkotsu broth that takes 15 hours to earn its bowl, cold sesame noodles packed with shrimp and crunch, a Thai yellow curry ramen, and a Taiwanese shredded chicken rice that doesn't need a description to sell itself. Round it out with spring lamb chops over mashed potatoes, fried calamari and zucchini blossoms, and a mee grop tofu proving crispy rice noodles need no apology. Some of my faves:

  • Peroni Mussels — P.E.I. mussels, spicy Italian sausage, Peroni, mustard cream. One pot, zero notes

  • Black Cherry BBQ Pork Tenderloin — brined, wood smoked, grilled with black cherry glaze, white cheddar mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The kind of cook that makes a Tuesday feel like a weekend

  • Mabo Tofu Yakisoba — stir-fried noodles in a rich, spicy mapo tofu sauce with velvety tofu and fresh vegetables. A fusion that actually earns it

Hope you enjoy! — Rhys
