Nimrods’, the exuberance known for its floating pizza on the Charlottetown waterfront, has decamped for winter to the former KFC building in Stratford, upping the ante from pizza to an eclectic menu that includes everything from donuts to falafel.

To celebrate the start of the holidays, Oliver and I motored over the bridge, went through the drive-thru, ordered up a couple of salmon bagels, and came home to eat.

The bagel was fantastic, a true credit to a dish that’s hard to get right: gravlax, capers, red onion, dill cream cheese on a (very good) sesame bagel. It’s a reason to drive to Stratford.
