Life as a food writer means that I’m living most people’s dreams (including my own!): I get paid to eat. Since I live to eat, this works out well.

For its Fall issue, Where (Calgary) Magazine compiled a list of 75 Tastes of Calgary. You know, those unique dishes that define a city; the must-try foods you think about even when, or especially if, you are away from home. Now that I live in the UK, I’m craving EVERYTHING Calgary!

I — along with notable Calgary food critics John Gilchrist, Andree Lau, Karen Anderson, among others — contributed some favourite eats. Where editor Laura Pellerine and staff writers Dan Leahul and Alison Onyett filled in the rest. Dare I so flagrantly admit that we all have great taste?

You might recognize some of my previous posts on the rich DeVille latte (#8),  the indulgent duck confit poutine at Laurier Lounge (#12), or the pitch-perfect kashk-e-Bademjam at Shiraz (#41). Can you guess my other picks? (Hint: They include #19, 33, 57, 61 and 69).

Please eat some extra portions on my behalf. And enjoy
