The Dirty Bird Chicken and Waffles

As one person posted, “my stomach dances looking at this.” While you’d be hard-pressed to find any meat-eaters who don’t like chicken and waffles, not all chicken and waffles are created equal. The Dirty Bird chicken is hand-breaded in a gluten-free signature flour blend and offers fun twists. Pick it up or order delivery, sit back and enjoy this <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/comfort-food/photos/iconic-southern-comfort-food-recipes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Southern</a> style delicacy in the comfort of your own home.

Antler Kitchen and Bar

 If you haven’t yet had the chance to experience <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/big-food-bucket-list/photos/editors-reveal-best-restaurants-across-canada/#!restaurants-antler" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antler</a> (reservations usually fill up weeks in advance), this is your chance to try Michael Hunter and Jody Shapiro’s wild delicacies. Antler’s Cook at Home Meal Kits reflect the local, seasonal and near-north Canadian cuisine they’ve become so well-known for. Their Game Box is BBQ-, sous vide- or oven-ready — and includes two whole spatchcock Cornish game hens, four bison ribeye, four duck breasts and four wild boar rack chops. Antler did the heavy lifting so all you have to do is cook it; the meat is marinated with garlic, herbs and olive oil and the boar has been brined. Think of it as one way to bring the great outdoors into your home and to your table.

That’s definitely one way to make another night in an extraordinary one. Note: each week’s meal option becomes available Thursdays at noon, but act quickly as it’s hard to land a spot and waitlists are common.
