EGGVILLE: Breakfast with Ottawa’s most obsessive Omnivore

Food Editor for the Ottawa Citizen, Ron Eade joins me in Eggville

Welcome to Eggville! In this series created for City Bites, I will attempt to test out some of my unscientific theories over breakfast with icons of the city’s food scene. The question: What does the way we eat our eggs say about us? I am also hoping to discover some of the city’s hidden greasy spoons and old-school diners while getting to know more about our food-world personalities. Each guest — be it a chef, farmer, or restaurant dishwasher — will choose their favourite breakfast joint and walk me through the choices, preferences, and rituals surrounding their morning meal.

The Eater: Ron Eade, Ottawa Citizen Food Editor and blogger behind Omivore’s Ottawa

The Place: John’s Quick Lunch (1365 Wellington St. W.), 8 a.m. on a Saturday

SUMMER FOOD COLUMN CBC RADIO: Why Eggs are hot

This summer, I signed on as Food Columnist for CBC Radio’s All in A Day. In this segment, I explain why the humble egg might be enjoying a moment in the spotlight. It’s turning up many of Ottawa’s most fashionable menus, not just as an ingredient in a sauce or soufflé but in its pure white-and-yolk form.

Here’s an excerpt, but to listen to the segment, please visit the  All In A Day website.
