BEAKERHEAD MIXES FOOD AND SCIENCE
Beakerhead, an exhibition and celebration of art, science and engineering, will hit streets and venues across Calgary for the first time ever between September 11-15th, and it looks like an incredible lineup of interactive events and activities to experience. They have even brought dining into the equation with a few of their events. God love ‘em!
You can learn more about Beakerhead at their Pop-Up Breakfast on September 11th from 7:00am-9:00am at Suncor Energy Plaza (111 - 5th Avenue SW). This free event is the first of the festival and all are welcome to attend. More details here.
They also have another unique dining opportunity ready for those who are adventurous at heart. Engineered Eats takes place at a number of bars and restaurants including downtownfood, Charcut Roast House, and Mango Shiva. Experience something new when the chef and bartender become scientists!

BACK TO SCHOOL! COOKING SCHOOL, THAT IS
If you’re looking for a fun evening spent learning how to cook some delicious items for yourself, then check out the awesome line up of evening classes offered at the SAIT Culinary Campus this September.
Some of the classes offered include: Introduction to Cooking, Knife Skills, Cake Decorating, Buttercream Basics, Sushi, Soups and Stocks, Artisan Bread, Sauces, Canning, and (most importantly) Chocolate.
LOBSTERFEST AT CEILI’S
Why didn’t the lobster like to share? Because he was shellfish. Baboom!
If you love lobster you’re in luck this September, cause Ceili’s on 4th is hosting a Lobsterfest on Saturday, September 14th. Dinner includes a 2lb lobster dinner with all the fixings, plus a pint of Alexander Keith’s. This event sells out each year, so you’re advised to get your tickets early.
If you miss this fabulous offer, or go and decide you need to do it again, Ceili’s on 8th will have their big Lobsterfest feast on the following Saturday, September 21st.
