Continental Treat
Strathcona
10560 82 Ave. NW, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.ctfinebistro.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of European fare and drinks at Continental Treat.

Elegant bistro Continental Treat educates palates in the culinary languages of French, German, and Eastern European cuisine, accented by a wide selection of international wine and beer. Escape rising hunger levels with menu life rafts such as wild-mushroom-and-sauerkraut pierogi, basking in sour cream and sautéed onions ($11.95), and taste buds applaud Munich-style pork chops’ supporting ensemble of sausage, onion, pan-fried potatoes, and vegetables strutting in green-paprika-mushroom sauce ($24.95). Pan-fried rainbow trout in dill and capers executes friendly flavour volleys with potatoes and vegetables ($24.95), and piernik ginger cake draped in marmalade and dark chocolate ($9.95) offers a sweet resolution without a court-appointed mediator.

Continental Treat spouts out a wine menu of more than 100 bottled and well-travelled wines. Single serving elixirs, such as the New Zealand Oyster Bay pinot noir ($10/glass), can accompany lonely dishes stood up by the bread rolls. Diners also swim through a massive rotating beer gallery featuring Old World brews such as Koningshoeven tripel, an authentic Trappist ale ($19.95/750 ml).

Today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of steak-house fare and drinks at Lux Steakhouse + Bar.

Lux sates stomachs with hearty steak-house entrees, delectable desserts, and refreshing libations. A passel of Alberta AAA or Prime steaks, such as the 12-ounce classic rib eye ($34), quell carnivorous cravings and can pair with optional surf selections including lobster at market price or a side of inflatable beach balls. Meanwhile, the towering Lux burger, with eight ounces of Kobe-style beef, double-smoked bacon, and an onion ring ($25), presents a multitiered tower of succulence. For dessert, a scorched marshmallow-s’mores cheesecake ($9) sparks childhood memories of fireside tax audits. Diners can sample these edibles while sipping offerings from Lux’s extensive wine list, which includes the Italian red Pasqua Ripasso, served by the glass ($10) or bottle ($40).

The eatery’s warm, modern interior brims with vibrant wall art, leather-backed chairs, and dark stained wood. A New York–style long bar serves up the full steak-house menu, and meal-complementing potables beside a stone fireplace alternately dispense warmth and jolly men bearing toys.

Fine Art Bartending
Edmonton
10442 82nd Ave NW, Unit 201, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.fineart.ca/edmonton.htm

Today’s Groupon for bartending classes at Fine Art Bartending. Choose between the following options:

For $65, you get an Introduction to Bartending class (a $165.99 value).
For $250, you get a two-week full Bartending Certification course (a $599 value).
Fine Art Bartending offers hands-on training to professional barkeep aspirants and home-hobbyists alike in a fun and interactive environment. During the four-hour introductory class, an experienced pro will teach spirit alchemists-to-be all the bartending basics and sympathetic-listening techniques necessary for manning the boozy gates. You’ll cover proper mixing, pouring, and braising methods as you create your own concoctions of classic cocktails, martinis, and shots. Your instructor will also go over all the essential elements to stocking and maintaining a home bar so that you’re prepared when a potential mate or the Oilers stop by for a drink. Classes are usually scheduled on Saturday afternoons from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or from noon to 4 p.m.

For those whose future vision includes drink slinging for tips or tipsy grins, the two-week certification course at Fine Art Bartending adds further skills to one’s mixological indoctrination. Instructors lead a field trip to either the Pourhouse or Ambers Brewery to teach the liquid choreography of draft-beer pouring and to the Red Square Vodka House so aspirants can tackle a guest bartending shift. After graduation, swizzle-pivoting students will test their prowess and current-events-trivia retention with a live shift at Red Square, then tap into the school’s database of bartending jobs across Canada. Daytime classes take place Mondays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for two weeks; night classes take place Mondays through Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for two weeks. Long-weekend classes will run Tuesdays to Fridays on those weeks. Tuition for both classes includes all taxes and course materials, which leaves extra resources for coveted continuing-education classes in bar-top acrobatics.

Cold Stone Creamery
Dechene

http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of custom-crafted, generously topped ice cream and more at Cold Stone Creamery inside Tim Hortons.

Cold Stone’s ice cream, made in-store daily, inhabits a quantum flux between soft-serve and traditional ice cream, with a rich, creamy texture that whispers tales of its super-premium quality as it glides over taste buds. Ice-cream voyeurs can create their own ice-creamplosion from old favourites or unheard of delights ($2.89–$4.59 with two mix-ins), eliciting taste tests of dozens of silky flavours such as cake batter, cotton candy, and piñata. Each ice-cream creation generously welcomes up to two of the shop’s dozens of mix-ins as traditional as Oreo cookies and chopped nuts or as quirky as pie crust. Those willing to bequeath the invention of creamy concoctions to the professionals can try a Cold Stone Signature creation, such as the almond-studded and caramel-slathered Coffee Lovers Only or the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection with Reese’s peanut-butter cups, fudge, and a side of endorphins ($3.99–$5.75). Once concoctions are chosen and perfected, they’re scooped cold into freshly made waffle cones or bowls.

Cold Stone’s crack cakesmiths also forge glacial delicacies in spectacular styles such as Strawberry Passion—whose immaculately formed graham-cracker crust and strawberry frosting formations conceal alternating strata of yellow cake and strawberry ice cream—and Cookie Dough Delirium, a madcap miracle wrapped in a straitjacket of sweet cream and yellow cake (6″ round cake, $26.99). Ice-cream sandwiches (four-pack, $11.99), meanwhile, serve as ideal cold compresses for sprained tongues and weepy snowmen and are available in flavours including cake batter and cookie crumb.

Today’s Groupon: for $77, you get a starter package and one month of pick-up and delivery from Happy Nappy Diaper Service (a $155.47 value). This Groupon is valid in the greater Edmonton area.

With an accommodating pickup, delivery (a $23.87/week value), and laundry service, Happy Nappy pampers and protects delicate baby bottoms with sanitary, microfibre diapers. A few weeks before the stork delivers its precious package, parents can prep and stock their changing stations with a starter package, including a naturally deodorized pail, travel bag, and inaugural set of cloth garments (a $59.99 value). Happy Nappy designs its form-fitting diapers with high-performance, pH-balanced fabric, yielding a more breathable and absorbent diaper that soaks up irritating moisture and shields sensitive hides from rashes and allergens. After cherub tushies have used up their fill, Happy Nappy retrieves the sullied garments, leaving fresh ones in their place, and ushers the antibacterial diapers to an environmentally friendly washing and a reading of Green Eggs and Ham.

Proud parents can consult Happy Nappy’s diaper disciples to customize the size and quantity of their baby-bottom threads according to newbies’ diets, weights, and other factors. Happy Nappy recommends miniature customers sheath their cloth duds in diaper covers to prevent against external leaks and splatter from formula food fights.

Stocked with locally sourced ingredients, Dinner Factory decorates dining-room tables with a rotating selection of creative meals custom assembled by each customer in its culinary workshop. After Dinner Factory’s prep team chops and minces its preordained grocery list into celebratory confetti shreds, household heads can flock to its community kitchen to fashion a family feast in around 30 minutes from a monthly menu of 14 entree options serving four to six portions each. Customers equipped with detailed station instructions enlist hormone-free meat and poultry from farms within 100 miles to anchor their meal creations, such as coconut crusted chicken with rice and snap peas or the summer-favourite Hawaiian teriyaki chicken burgers. Customers can also fill fridges and freezers with refined and healthful stovetop staples, such as seafood risotto, a collection of prawns, scallops, and crabmeat combined with a white wine stock, onion, saffron, crushed garlic, and rice. In addition to alleviating supper anxiety, Dinner Factory also caters to healthful homes by allowing customers to leave out any undesired ingredients from each recipe, and includes gluten-free alternatives and whole-wheat bread and pasta.

Dinner Factory’s kitchen mavens assign each entree ratings on a scale of one to three based on at-home cooking effort, assembly time, and kid favourites, enabling clients to customize a menu conducive to limited kitchens and toddler potlucks. In order to accommodate smaller tribes, customers can split their prepared meals in half to yield twice as many smaller platters. Dinner Factory can also do the assembling and deliver its prix fixe sensations for additional fees.
