Have you met Chef Lucy yet? She’s the official,

Have you met Chef Lucy yet? She’s the official, badass approver of all the more ~modern~ Meat N’ Badaydas dishes available at restaurants across PEI this April.

Lucy’s the queen of comfort food, but not just any kind of comfort food. She loves pairing classic ingredients like meat and potatoes with unexpected things like paprika chive aioli, crushed ruffle chips, béchamel sauce, and pickled onions and turnips—basically doing what she can to keep our taste buds guessing.

She also loves trying the latest @rewindseltzer release, a good trek through the woods, patio weather, and trying to pronounce funny words like “bah-day-dah-s.” You can catch her jamming to Weezer, The Verve Pipe, Semi Sonic, and Third Eye Blind (when she thinks no one else is listening), and forever planning her next tattoo.

Scroll through for a handful of the “Lucy-approved” dishes available at restos from tip to tip!

The full selection of all 66+ modern twists and traditional takes on PEI comfort food can be found our website www.meatnbadaydas.com (link in bio). If this is your jam, be sure to look for Lucy’s stamp of approval!

Ok, friends - we need to take a second and interrupt our unleashing of tasty dishes to give a HUGE shout out to this gem right here.

Ashley of @sunday.proper.studios is the reason we’re able to fill our feed with photos of such yummy creations because she single-handedly (well, almost) captured photos of all 66 dishes in just 4 days... at restaurants from tip to tip. Now if that’s not a mad hustle, we dunno what is. We’ve loved getting to know her and think you will, too.

Ashley is a fan of beautiful, locally-prepared culinary dishes and a self-taught photographer. Her food photography studio, Sunday Proper Studios, combines her two passions in the best way possible. She shoots for restaurants all over the Island as well as works with several larger national and international food companies. Her goal is to help local Island restaurants and food businesses by providing them with professional quality photos of their creations and add a little more *pizazz* back into PEI’s food scene.

We can’t thank her enough for her stunning work and if you ever have the pleasure of working with Ashley, please do it! ❤️
