Nothing quite beats celebrating Canada Day like trying out local food. I’ve never tried our local food trucks before, although I have heard recommendations from people about “Fries & Dolls.” I decided that there was no better opportunity to try it than at Fort Calgary while Canada Day celebrations were going on. Through the crowds…
Name of Food: Deep Fried Pickles
Where to Buy: Big T’s BBQ
Cost: $7
What makes it worthwhile: As someone who loves the occasional pickle, you could imagine the salivation that occurs at the thought of deep fried pickles.
When I stumbled upon The Mighty Skillet, it was the day I went to pick up report cards at school. I woke up bright and early (for a teenager) at 10:30 a.m. I checked the Street Food App, their Twitter and Facebook pages and to my pleasure, it was parked downtown, right on my route to school.…
Name of Food: Bacon Sundae Funnel Cake
Where to Buy: Pennsylvania Dutch Funnel Cakes – located by the Saddledome, underneath the foot bridge.
Cost: $8
What makes it worthwhile: What a mouthful! I’m talking about its name…
So in my last post, I talked about the resort we stayed at — Las Morlas, and visiting the tallest bridge in Cuba (I won’t repeat the name just because I can’t spell it). But now, I’m gonna talk about touring Havana; the capital of Cuba. The drive from Las Morlas to Havana was around…
So you’ve probably heard about the Food Truck pilot project, which started in the summer of 2011. A fleet of food trucks have been driving around, bringing gourmet treats to Calgarians across the city. The fantastic part is that the food trucks are mobile and change their locations every day, making this new part of…
Last September, I posted about the Food Truck Revolution. In less than a year, it seems the trucks have done a complete takeover of Calgary’s street scene and are here to stay. More and more trucks are popping up all over of the city, bringing the overall count to eight trucks featured on the YYC Food…
Alice in Wonderland has been definitely one of my favourite stories of all time. Now, I know Japan has some pretty amazing stuff – but this… this is beyond amazing! The designers Eiichi Maruyama and Katsunori Suzuki were able to recreate Lewis Carroll’s renowned work into a real world restaurant/cafe (unfortunately, it is in Japan!) Here is the pictorial evidence……
Castle Pizza, a little restaurant camouflaged within a strip mall on Elbow Drive, is generally the place to satisfy teenagers’ food demands in the Southwest area of Calgary. Since it is right in front of Henry Wise Wood High School, I decided to visit Castle Pizza after my classes. The atmosphere of the shop is…
Calling all those who are fans of Japanese cuisine…! (Or those who are willing to try it!) Wa’s is a Japanese restaurant I’ve been to literally more than a dozen times now, and what can I say – their food is amazing every single time. Their food quality is very consistent; the sashimi always fresh…
Experience cuisines from all over the world with this video!
The River Café is widely known in Calgary as a great dine; one of the best in town. Nothing could be better than to head to a wonderful restaurant after strolling around Prince’s Island.
During the lovely, carefree days of spring break, MJ and I again got together to bring you this review of the Big Cheese Poutinerie. Location This cute store is located a short, two minute walk westwards down 17th avenue from Western Canada High School. Really close to school (almost directly across from Starbucks), and really…
I still remember my first time buying a puffed wheat square from the school vending machine. What looked like a delicious, chocolaty cereal square was in reality a tasteless, over-sweet mush.
Last summer, I took a cooking class and I was amazed by this simple, yet delicious dish. I thought you should have the opportunity to make and try it yourself. The recipe mixes both Kraft dinner and pizza together. The two taste wonderful on their own, but imagine these mixed together! Here is the recipe: …
