Chorney-Booth: Ahinke brings a taste of Nigeria to the bustling Calgary brunch scene

by · Calgary Herald

Calgary is, indisputably, a city of brunch eaters. We collectively love our brunch and are seemingly more than willing to (these days, virtually) line up for plates of eggs or fluffy French toast and an excuse to day drink on the weekend. Part of the magic of brunch-hour menu items is their ability to take on a variety of flavours and cultural influences – your typical eggs benny can be transformed into something new and exciting by swapping out the bread, the protein or the sauce, all without becoming intimidating or wildly unfamiliar.
