Dave brought some of his eggrolls along to try out. I was on with Dave Niel from athe Piggy Market to talk about the challenge, and eggrolls in general. CBC's afternoon radio program, All In a Day, got in touch, and had me on their 'D is For Dinner' segment last week (you can find the audio of the segment over on their site). I knew it would get some attention amongst my friends online, but it went much further than that. One of the big surprises for me was how much attention the challenge attracted. We decided to add Wong's Palace for the contest since they are also open ended, and we'd heard good things about them. All three have one thing in common, they are all open ended eggrolls.
In my case, I grew up on Ruby Inn eggrolls, and more recently, Dragon Fortune Delight. In Ottawa, the general opinion is Golden Palace has the best eggrolls in the city.
Dave Hicks and Shawna Tregunna were kind enough to host our challenge. We decided the best way to settle the argument was to hold a blind taste testing of the contenders.
Three names kept coming up in the conversation: Golden Palace, Dragon Fortune Delight, and Ruby Inn. The idea came from a conversation with several people on twitter. Last night we held an eggroll challenge to see who makes the best eggrolls in Ottawa.
