Ayden Kitchen & Bar, Saskatoon, SK

I was chatting in the Toronto airport last year with a woman when we were both on our way to Saskatoon.  She had recommended Ayden Kitchen & Bar and said that Dale MacKay, Top Chef Canada's first winner, owned it.

This evening I was wondering where to have supper and remembered our conversation.  So I checked it out and discovered that Benet Hunt, who was in the last Top Chef Canada, is also there.  I had watched this past season so decided that's where I was going for supper.

When I got there about 5:30pm, it was quiet.

But it was busier within an hour.

I saw Benet walking around and there he is in the bar getting a drink of water

I ordered the Classic Burger (with no lettuce, onions or cheese) with bacon (I ordered it medium well).  The fries were good ... crispy and not greasy.  The burger was good too.  The bun was soft and the patty was flavourful.  I could really taste the bacon, which wasn't a bad thing.

Travis was my server.  He was friendly and chatty and took good care of me.
