1. Lyon, France One of the many things to do in France is to explore French cuisine and one of the best places to do so in Lyon, France. Locally fresh food has been grown from surrounding places such as Charolais and Rhone Valley. Many people say that Lyon is the capital for French Food.…
It’s that time of year again: time to break my efforts at maintaining a healthy summer lifestyle for the Calgary Stampede’s crazy foods. This past Friday marked my first vegetarian Stampede and it was definitely quite a challenge to watch my friends eat award-winning BBQ ribs; even walking down the section of the park with all…
{Source} On Tuesday, I was happy to spend 9 fun-filled hours at the Stampede grounds, going on rides and eating the classics we love. But if you need more than mini donuts to satisfy your Midway cravings, why not try something new? Making my way to Melt Town Grilled Cheese and Poutine near the Agriculture…
Once a year, The Stampede rolls into town for a good 10 days, offering food, rides and experiences of a lifetime that some people around the world would only dream of. On Monday, July 6th, I headed down to the grounds to take in one of the many performers at the Coca…
It is once again the time of plaid, cowboy boots, and stetson hats. Every year, the Stampede attracts more than a million people from Calgary and beyond to enjoy rides, rodeo shows, and unique food. Unique is just one of the things I got when I tried the new Crazy Cone, a J-shaped corn-based tube…
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…
Awesome Restaurants is a segment where I share my favourite places to get delectable food in Calgary. Today is Holy Grill, where all the food is just heavenly. Where can I find it? Holy Grill is located at 827 10th Ave SW near downtown. It’s open 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday…
Subs N’ Bubbles under the sun…. well, cross out the bubble part. As I mentioned in my Sunfest post, I’m going to be chronicling how I ended up eating a Bulgogi (in this context, Korean marinated pork) Vietnamese submarine sandwich despite already had a snack at the volunteer headquarters… nah, that’s wasn’t what I said. Now that…
So who told you to do a review on fries when you should have taken advantage of being a Salsa Station greeter at Sun and Salsa? Well, well, don’t blame me, blame all the patrons who took all the samples! (Don’t actually do it though. :D) The turnout was amazing, so you might as well…
Name of food – Run Fatboy Run (Deep-fried Mac and Cheese) Where to get it – Reel Mac & Cheese Cost – Either 6 or 8 dollars… I think… I can’t quite remember What makes it worthwhile – There’s something about deep-fried and comfort food that just goes together so well, comparable even to the…
“Butter chicken” pizza….. As I was volunteering at the World Partnership Walk, there it was, the food truck I had missed at Otafest! I knew that Avatara Pizza‘s food truck was coming as @WPWCalgary had told me about the food selection, but I didn’t expect the lineups that accompanied it; but then lineups and the rain can’t…
Okay, it’s not quite what you’re thinking. Yet it fits perfectly with the Japanese theme of Otafest (officially my favorite convention now, hehe). Shogun Teppanyaki Grill was my lunch choice on the Sunday of that long weekend, partly because I didn’t have a volunteer shift that day (no free food), but mostly because four food trucks…
On every Urbanspoon (a trending website!) restaurant review page, the “opinions” section always has a “blog posts” section: Their Spoonback feature enables your food reviews for specific food places to be shown in that section! Letting readers access your food review blogs that way is very advantageous. If you click back to some of my food reviews, you’ll see…
