I’d like to draw your attention to how the word “diet” includes the word “die”. Yes, I know that “diet” can simply mean the food you eat, but I’m talking about when “diet” means restricting your intake, generally as a means of weight-loss. This post was inspired by some personal experiences I/people close to me have…
(Original Image) The vending machine at school is one of the only reasons I am able to stay sane during the day. I love getting some Sun Chips at lunch, or grabbing a giant cookie after school while I study, but I never really stopped to evaluate the healthiness of all these snacks. Obviously, schools need…
In what might possibly be the coolest food waste awareness campaign ever, this supermarket decided to take action against societies’ views on food and what really should matter. As you can see, this really does show how we judge our produce based of appearance more than quality. Once we get used to how it looks,…
Pretty much everyone’s been to a decently fancy restaurant in their time, am I right? Well, Q Haute Cuisine pretty much blows away every restaurant ever. It has not only been named one of 2013’s Top 50 Restaurants in Canada by vacay.ca’s panel of judges, and also holds the 5th position in their public voting…
Take some mashed potatoes. Put it in a plastic cup/thing. Take some pulled pork. Put it on top of the mashed potatoes. Take some gravy. Put it on top of the mashed potatoes and pulled pork. Repeat process a few times. And there you have it, a pulled pork poutine from the Big T’s BBQ…
Ah, cookie dough. A well loved treat we all love to eat- but now, with a twist! Deep fried cookie dough was something I was looking forward to eating through out my time at the Stampede, but it could not have been a bigger disappointment. Although the serving size was large, with three giant pieces,…
Okay. Let me just start off by saying I had absolutely zero expectations for this dish, but it totally blew it out of the park. The succulent medley of vegetables, the crispy tater tots, the fresh mint chutney- all topped off with yogurt. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Papri tot is twist papri…
This year, Stampede featured some pretty wacky new foods, but none were quite as strange as Crocodile Sliders. Yes, made with REAL crocodile. I decided to venture off the path of traditional fair food and give them a shot. After all was said and done, I must say, I was rather disappointed. First of all,…
This new food item may confuse you. On the Stampede website, it says it is located at the Outlaw Grill, but they don’t sell ribs. I believe the Stampede has it confused with it neighbor Big Bubba’s Bad BBQ. These ribs are amazing. It is one of the most delicious ribs I ever eaten in my…
This amazing sausage will surprise you. This probably the biggest sausage you will ever eat. This two feet long sausage served up on a fresh toasted French baguette with cooked onion will make you have a mini heart attack. This sausage is very tender and freshly made. You have to wait a while…
Guys… I think I found my new favorite food. Vendor: TAO Rex (Near Nashville North on far side of park) My wallet may have been crying in purchasing this, but I do know that my stomach didn’t regret it. Priced at $12.50, I feel that you get more than enough your money’s worth, with a…
One of the new 32 foods joining the Calgary Stampede this year is a classic Asian food with a twist: sushi, deep fried! Lets get down to business. Vendor: Joey’s Urban Bus Priced at $7, the deep fried sushi at Joey’s not only contains eight pieces of actual deep fried sushi cut in halves, but…
Jasmine K. Summer… it’s the perfect season for fun under the sun and getting more than sufficient amounts of vitamin D. However, with the season comes the nagging need for skin care; exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause skin damage and in some cases, skin cancer. But don’t fret! It isn’t too late…
Who doesn’t love a hot, steamy, delicious… bowl of macaroni and cheese? Another one of the new eats being served up at the Calgary Stampede this year is Reel Mac And Cheese’s Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese. Let me tell you, this isn’t your standard KD by any stretch of the imagination. Now, before you…
Name: Garlic Chicken Kebabs Location: Big Bubba’s Bad BBQ Price:$18 (the size of the kebabs worth the price) This is my first year at the Calgary Stampede; it was amazing to see such an event. The food trucks at the Stampede grounds make me feel like I am in heaven. There are 32 new foods…
