Lisa and Graham, the owners of Max&#8217;s are great people and since they moved back to town 4 years ago and bought Max&#8217;s, I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of getting to work with them in regards to local food production but more recently, I just consume their delicious eats! My favourite of late is their giant cinnamon buns smothered in cream cheese topping. If your day needs to start with a sugar rush like mine, you need to try this treat. This stop was super fun to film because I got to help Graham in the kitchen! I want to be in the kitchen, making delicious treats so I felt at home with him as the expert!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14022079_1060480190667139_6762710888726423316_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8557\" title=\"Neighbourhood Eats Jenn Johns Food network canada \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14022079_1060480190667139_6762710888726423316_n.jpg\" alt=\"Neighbourhood Eats Jenn Johns\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14022079_1060480190667139_6762710888726423316_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14022079_1060480190667139_6762710888726423316_n-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After breakfast, we were on to lunch at The Heidout. A few\u00a0 years ago, one of Cranbrook&#8217;s fine dining establishments, Heidi&#8217;s, re-branded, renovated, added a brewery in the basement, and became The Heidout! I was a huge fan of Heidi&#8217;s so I admit I was a little disappointed when the change was announced. But, Heidi transferred some of the favourites from the old menu over to the new (mine were the Mediterranean vegetables, and the calamari) and added tons of new ones. The new menu items have been amazing, and at the top of the pack for me is her Stuffed Yorkie!\u00a0 It&#8217;s a Yorkshire pudding stuffed with roast beef, au jus, pea shoots and horseradish aioli.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14067463_1061226987259126_1374520040685190132_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8562\" title=\"Neighbourhood Eats Jenn Johns\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14067463_1061226987259126_1374520040685190132_n.jpg\" alt=\"Neighbourhood Eats Jenn Johns  Food Network Canada\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14067463_1061226987259126_1374520040685190132_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/14067463_1061226987259126_1374520040685190132_n-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our final stop of the day was at the best sushi restaurant in town- Sakura Sushi and Grill.\u00a0 My favourite roll, that I&#8217;ve been ordering for years, is the Kiss of Fire. I was let in on a secret menu a few visits ago, so I had my host Jenny, choose something new from it. She made an amazing choice and went with the Yam Nigri.\u00a0 It was to die for amazing. The most difficult part of the day was definitely trying to do dainty eating shots while using chopsticks and picking up a huge piece of sushi covered in the kiss of fire toppings! Life is so hard . . .
