Our Southern BBQ Supper at Model Milk
Model Milk has a long tradition of serving a 3-course family-style meal ($40 pp) on Sundays. To keep guests coming back, their Sunday Supper menu changes every week to make every dining experience a joyous surprise.
Last month, in between all the crazy travels, Kev and I had the pleasure to have a romantic date night over a hearty southern bbq meal at Model Milk. And guess what? As if the chef could feel my yearning for a tropical vacation, the theme of the night was the Caribbean!
To start the night off, the bartender whipped up a rum-based cocktail called Big Man Thing ($13, 2.5 oz), combining Caña Brava and London Dock with Grand Marnier, pineapple and lime juice for a taste of the tropics. Orgeat was mixed in to bring a floral fragrance and nutty almond quality to this delightful cocktail.

Appetizers
Jamaican beef patties were first brought to the table to boost our appetite. Shaped like an empanada, a Jamaican patty consists of flaky yellow crust stuffed with spicy beef and spices. With only one bite, an explosion of flavor filled the mouth. To tone down the intense flavour, I dipped the patty into the shallot vinaigrette, which also helped refresh the palate.
If you haven’t tried fried plantains yet, get on it! These golden goodness were terribly addicting, especially with the lemony spiced crema! They have now become my new favourite snack.

Ahhh I am DROOLING over these photos. I love Caribbean food but definitely don’t eat it enough. I love that they have a weekly southern bbq too. And fried plantains are my favorite snack too :).
You had me at ¨Southern BBQ¨ in your title haha. As a Southern girl (from Georgia) I LOVE some good ol´Southern BBQ. I love that this place serves it family style and changes it up every week. It´s like going to Grandma´s house for Sunday dinners.
Oh my that food looks so very yummy and I love the sound of that rum cocktail Big Man Thing. It is definitely something I would drink. My husband loves ribs and southern bbq sounds like something right up his street.
Wow, this post made me so hungry and I just ate breakfast! Those fried plantains and ribs are making my mouth water! I would love to check out this restaurant and do the Sunday night BBQ!
Wow, you have just made me hungry after reading your blog post. I like how you spend your time with all these luscious food on the table, it is life I must say. Your photos speaks so much as this transmit me a sense of craving for it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
This looks delicious and the ambience seems to be perfect. How great it is to find something with perfect food, that has salts, sugar and spice in the perfect quantity. Though, I am a vegetarian, will surely recommend this to my friends.
The food looks absolutely delicious. It’s making me wish I wasn’t a vegetarian, which hasn’t happened in a bit, but holy cow that looks yummy! I think one of the things that looks the best though is the atmosphere. It looks like a cool spot, but a place that isn’t so uppity that you wouldn’t be comfortable. Thanks for sharing a great option in Calgary to try!
The design of that place is everything and the food looks absolutely delicious. I loooveee Caribbean food!

Wow this made me so hungry. I would love to go there! Loved the pictures you took. And I especially want to try that dessert!
