Friends,

I’m thrilled to announce my first collaboration in over a year—and my first ever with an Indian restaurant.

If you’ve followed The Butter Chicken Odyssey, you know Mezbaan was one of the rare joints to earn a perfect five-star rating. Now, we’re teaming up to create a new version of that already-great butter chicken: the Mill Woods Murgh Makhani Massacre (M4).

Not only is Mezbaan making butter chicken with me—available in both the standard boneless style and a special bone-in option that nods to the original Delhi version—but they’ve also let me take over the restaurant’s soundtrack.

Hell yeah! Expect contemporary Bhangra bangers, classic rural folk, deep UK album cuts, and retro Bollywood funk and disco.

To launch the M4, we’re throwing my long-promised Butter Chicken Bash on Friday, August 29, 2025, at 5 PM.

Admission is $20 and gets you all-you-can-eat butter chicken (including my custom spicy batch) plus other goodies. Attendance is limited to 50 people, so contact me to lock your spot.

Please come through. Mezbaan could use the support right now—and they’ve earned it. I wouldn’t put my name on anything mediocre. They’re counting on me, and I don’t want to let them down.

One last note: this Sholay-inspired artwork was made with AI. I wish I could’ve hired a local artist, but I just bought a house and don’t have the money. And I’m just trying to help a local restaurant through a slow patch.

This is a great market to check out. Last summer I visited it twice and it is well worth the trip!

Hello, Market family. We're just 9 weeks away from kicking off our 55th season of The Original Red Deer Market on May 17th! Is everyone ready or is there more to do before you start? Just wanted to update everyone to say we’ve heard from so many of the last years vendors and their intentions to return. That’s exciting but what’s even more exciting is all the inquiries from new vendors that want to come and join our awesome market. There’s going to be a lot more to see and experience and It’s going to be fun. So mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready to make Saturdays at the market the highlight of your summer!

I had no idea what to order, so I just asked for the most Bannock Broz thing on the menu. They handed me a 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗸, and let me tell you—bannock just makes everything better. One bite, and I found myself singing: "Bannock makes the whole world better!" 🎶

You can find them inside the 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗰 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 on 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and if you haven’t been yet, you need to. Trust me on this one!
