Credible Edibles at 2010's Taste of Wellington West

Posted 06/22/10 by don | Filed under: restaurantEats

This week's "relatively" Wordless Wednesday comes a day early since Jenn and I took proper Wordless Wednesday photos over the week-end. That said, we are not forgoing this week's photos of another of Ottawa's restaurant's patios.

Please find below the patio at Credible Edibles (78 Hinton Avenue North), Chef/Owner Judi Varga-Toth's answer to a conversation she and her sister had about how to provide their children with nutritious, environmentally-conscious lunch at school.

These pictures were taken during Saturday's Taste of Wellington West event. Credible Edibles' contributions, a roasted red pepper hummus (served both gluten and gluten free), "fresh and fiery" salsa, and carrot cake.

Carrot Cake
The rustic textured roasted red pepper hummus with its slight lemon tang and lusciously moist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting were favourites amongst event attendees. This includes the fellow Ottawa food bloggers Jenn and I were with, Jodi (@simplyfresh) of the Simply Fresh and Kaitlin (@kaitli) of the Heartful Mouthful blogs.

Inside Credible Edibles, Chef Varga-Toth had containers of hummus and salsa on sale.

And here were that day's specials.

Specials

With the Taste of Wellington West featuring eateries along Wellington Street W., Ottawa's "Epicurean Row", Hinton Avenue was a side street less traveled by. To quote, Robert Frost, walking down Hinton "made all the difference."

Only, the Thursday before, I was remarking how envied people who could eat at Credible Edibles during their lunch breaks. To anyone lucky enough to be in walking distance, I advise you follow the eatery's twitter account (@creded). It tweets daily specials from time to time along with announcements like the following:

Congrats to Chef Varga-Toth!

At first, I was wondering why they would make gluten-free hummus and then put it on pitas... then I saw the take-out containers. Or was the pita gluten-free as wellÉ

You're right, the pita wasn't gluten-free. Though, the hummus was also served on a gluten-free bread/cracker I did not try.

The carrot cake was amazing! I'll have to go back just for that. And because it's such a cute place.

Jodi, wanna join us if the Hintonburg Community Association can convince Credible Edibles to participate in a Hintonburg Supper Club? Normally, Credible Edibles does not open for dinner!
