we eat well in edmonton

Edmonton is a little big city of about a million way up on the 53rd latitude (north!).

There is a real pride here in what we can grow, including sweet, crunchy carrots and creamy Mozart potatoes for mashing.

But what I love is how many talented chefs we have in this city who dream up rootbeer brisket sandwiches and Grizzly Gouda perogies in white onion cream with bacon and warm dill slaw. And – the list goes on.

I was honoured to be part of CBC's recent round up of the best places to eat in Edmonton, along with Twyla Campbell from Weird Wild and Wonderful and Adrienne Pan, a serious diner and fellow CBC journalist.

Our comprehensive list is here . . . and if you want to see even more of my favourites, remember you can always hop on over to hop & go fetch it.

Hop & go fetch it is a lot bigger than just Edmonton – I've got cities all over Canada, U.S.A., Germany, Greece, Scotland and Japan.

What are your favourite places to eat – wherever you are?

Here's to eating well in the new year!
