Lulu Bar Sushi Box
Sure, we love a good barbecue on the May Long Weekend, but Lulu Bar just released a sushi box in collaboration with Goro + Gun, and we’re dying to try it out. Good for two people, this exclusive sushi box comes complete with nigiri, oshi sushi and rolls using various seasonal fish and ingredients. You can also round out your Lulu bar meal with one of their carefully selected sakes as well. Order yours now at the link below, but hurry, as they will only be making a limited amount of boxes each day.

Cluck N Cleaver Picnic Pack
Stop by your favourite Calgary chicken joint this weekend for their ongoing picnic pack deal, perfect for your long weekend activities. This two person feast comes with your choice of four pieces of crispy fried chicken or half of a four pound rotisserie chicken paired with roast nugget potatoes or medium fries, coleslaw and gravy. This sounds a lot more enticing than the pb&j sandwich we had planned.
