A foodie’s dream – it’s Chop Chop Week in Uptown, Saint John! All this week, our fabulous chefs offer up special plates, 2-course lunches and 3-course dinners for a special price. And the best part is that $1 from every dish sold goes to Lunch Connection, providing hot lunches for kids. It’s a win-win. You get to eat great food and the kids get a hot lunch. And remember that thing I wrote about helping support your city, Saint John? This is one really simple way to do just that. You get to show appreciation for our fabulous chefs who take such great care to make wonderful, beautiful food for us, support local businesses and thus the local economy and you get to help feed kids in the area. So really it’s a win-win-win.
We’re well into Chop Chop week, with only a few more days left to partake. And by all accounts, it’s been a roaring success. Joel went to En on Tuesday with some coworkers and told me the place was bumping. Last night we went to dinner at East Coast Bistro and the place was packed. We had a fantastic meal and despite how busy it was, the service was great and we didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes for any course. Their kitchen is obviously a well oiled machine.
Since I can’t eat wheat, my choices are somewhat limited but I would still like to make it out for one more Chop Chop meal this weekend and I have found that our Saint John chefs are incredibly accommodating with food allergies and intolerances. I thank you for that, it means a lot to this gluten free foodie!





So if you haven’t been out for a Chop Chop meal yet, what are you waiting for?! Get on the horn and make a reservation for this weekend! Yes, all our restaurants will still be here next week but these special menus and the chance to help local schoolkids won’t be. Happy eating, SJ!
