now that's how you induce a Canadian food coma

Ahhh July 1st. A time to celebrate Canada's independence as a proud, beautiful nation. A time for family and friends. For fireworks and bonfires. Boat trips and BBQs. Canadian beer and whisky. General debauchery of all sorts!
What is a Canadian living overseas to do during such a monumentos occasion? Well if you happen to work at a bar....you make them throw a party. Not just any old party. You get them to serve chicken wings and poutine. And Canadian Club. And have maple syrup chugging contests. And listen to all the great Canadian artists...Barenaked Ladies, The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams...ok, maybe not the playlist part.
Last night we had a badass celebration of all things Canadian at Aquarius. There were ghetto Canadian flags, made by yours truly. Delicious poutine. A free keg for Canadians. And did I mention poutine? Most Aussies had never heard of or tried this French-Canadian delicacy so I took it as my duty to spread this culinary dish across the globe. And folks, it was a hit!

The best way to feel better after too much poutine? A good old fashioned dance party! Featuring me and Yogi's sweet new whale-inspired dance moves.

Great night....though it made me miss home!
