After rebooting the blog in May 2020, we filed 99 reviews of 96 eateries over the course of the next year – in the midst of a global pandemic, no less! To put that into perspective, we only posted 90 reviews during our initial run from 2010-2016 (we were surprised to learn that roughly 1/3 of those places have since either closed or rebranded! Such is the nature of business in Halifax). Of course, we simplified our scoring rubric and relaxed what qualifies as an “eatery,” but we’re having fun and getting out to try a bunch of places we’ve never visited before, checking out some we already know we like, and giving others another shot.
Our average score usually hovers around 3.9 (78% chance of returning). We had a lot of fun with our two Peninsula Pizza Projects – both the slice quest and the sit-down challenge (and no, we’re still not sick of pizza). In time, we hope to pursue other special features, but we don’t have any irons in the fire at the moment. For now, we’ll just keep eating and telling you about it as time permits.
We usually try to post our reviews within a month of our visits, but we sometimes fall behind schedule. Unfortunately, compiling these posts, populating our map and scheduling our Facebook and Twitter posts is kinda time consuming, and sometimes life gets in the way. But, we hope you’ll continue to enjoy our micro reviews.
We’d like to thank the restaurants and their staff work keeping things going during the pandemic as best as they can, Lindsay at Eat This Town for collaborating with us on our Pizza Quests, and to everyone who’s taken the time to read our reviews and social media posts.
If you ever have any comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free to send us a Facebook Message or a Tweet.
Cheers,
J&M
