Edmonton never ceases to amaze me with its local food community. We have so many small businesses that deal with food on a daily basis; food trucks, restaurants, cafes, delis, grocery stores, butchers etc., etc. If you are willing to go exploring and a little outside of your comfort zone, it is amazing at what …
In August of 2013 a lot of things in my life changed. I finally got married to my sweetheart of four years AND I got a shiny new job. The “Shiny New Job” was out in Acheson… my foodie self was devastated. I would have to give up my much loved food trucks and learn …

I have had a love affair with the food of the three gentlemen that own the eatery. They keep it simple with great, fresh ingredients. The restaurant is casual with …

We used to go to Rosario’s on a weekly basis, it was in our ‘hood and the manager at the time knew us by name. We mostly went for the wings and the pint specials that were on during happy hour. We had stopped going because the service was always hit and miss. The bar …
Two of my strongest passions in life are food, and charities. I don’t settle for the ordinary in either. Food needs to be an experience. Any charity that I support needs to be supporting youth or animals in need, and, needs to provide a lion’s share of a donation to the cause and not to …
The new Craft Beer Market is located in downtown Edmonton just off Rice Howard Way. It is tucked away in the same block as Wood Work and 100 Bar and Grill. I am a huge beer fan, and “on tap” is the best of the best that a beer drinker can experience. The original Craft …
Hawkers Market is based in Vancouver, BC. They have most recently set their sites on Edmonton as a place to launch their event. A Hawker Centre or “Cooked Food Centre” is usually in an open-air market format. Thanks to our lovely Alberta weather, this particular version of the market was held indoors.
