[Kingston]: The Brass (for Brunch!)

If you live in Kingston, you know that The Brass is the popular student pub. It also makes a mean (and ridiculously affordable) post-drinking breakfast! Restaurant by day and a busy, busy student-favourite pub by night.

With the Burger's Priest just next door, STACK brings Toronto some truly flavourful smoked meat to hopefully cure this area's meaty cravings.

In the Kitchen: Seafood Vegetable Soup: LAZY Edition

This soup is perfect for when you're having a no-fuss day and want to just throw everything you have into a pot.  Its a pretty basic soup that can be made with any combination of fresh (or frozen!) vegetables. The recipe can easily be double, tripled or reduced.

In The Kitchen: Lobster Poutine

Loblaws had a $1.99/lb-of-lobster-tail sale. Bought 5 tails and made lobster poutine - MUCH easier than you would think!

Harper's Burger Bar [Kingston]

Kingston definitely has its fair share of burger joints, what with being the home to Five Guys  and The Works. Decided to check out Harper's (under the same group as Chien Noir and Atomica, also located in Kingston) which many have argued is better than The Works!

Tips from the Kitchen: The Bread Code

Did you know the bread code tag actually tells you when the bread was baked?

via First Things

The colour of the code actually designates the day of the week on which a loaf of bread was baked.

Blue: Monday

Green: Tuesday

Red: Thursday

White: Friday

Yellow: Saturday

An easy way to remember is to use the alphabet. The colours run in alphabetical order so the earlier they appear in the alphabet, the earlier in the week the bread was baked.
