How To Be A Campfire Gourmet 5fc99471ca49a.jpeg

How to be a Campfire Gourmet

You’re sunburned, riddled with mosquito bites and your shoulders can’t paddle another kilometre — this doesn’t mean you can’t get a little gourmet game going on at the end of the day. Fire, tinfoil, a skillet (maybe don’t try this one on a 20-day trip up the Coppermine), and voilà, you have tartiflette! Ok, perhaps

Street Eats 2016: The EDGE Food Truck Guide

Congrats! You made it through the seasonal doldrums, when parkas are a thing of the past but shorts and skirts are still a questionable legwear decision. June is here, and with it, the joys of summer eating. To accompany the summer patio guide we published last week, here’s an overview of your outdoor food options,

Food Truck Fracas

The minor scuffle that broke out last week between Javaroma and the City over food truck regulations seems to have been diffused, with City Council set to keep things status quo. Instead of loosening restrictions on where food trucks can operate, as administration had suggested, the majority of councillors favoured reverting back to last year’s

Restaurant Roundup: Coffee Options Widen, Food Truck Season Approaches

By now, you’ve probably noticed the chalkboard-style Fat Fox signs on the side of the old Gold Range Diner.  But with the café scheduled to open later next month, I’m sure you, like the rest of us, are wondering what’s shaping up behind the wooden blinds covering the windows.

Final Food on Franklin

Don’t forget: the last 50/50 food event of the season happens tonight, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., with most of the season’s surviving food trucks/stands/tents — Curbside Treats ‘N Eats, Saffron, Southern Comfort, Sushi North — on hand. Yellowknife artists Terry Pamplin will be the final artists on hand, creating “improvisational painting” to local songstress Natasha Duchene’s keyboard accompaniment. City

Franklin Food Fest, Round Two

Last week’s Food on Franklin debut was a modest but genuine success. A reasonable crowd attended — City economic development officer Richard McIntosh figures that “close to 200 people showed up” — and the long-neglected square of pavement at the  centre of downtown bustled with activity.
