Even though I was born and raised in Saskatoon, I have paid visits to the Alberta capital for as long as I can remember. Having extended family in the city, I have many memories of West Edmonton Mall (the be-all-end-all for any wide-eyed kid, of course!), the river valley, and so much more.
As an adult, my visits to Edmonton became much more frequent and through my career as a food writer and, more recently, cookbook author, I’ve watched the city’s food and drink scene evolve into something dynamic and worth traveling for. Many eateries and bars such as Biera, Bündok, Clementine, and Fu’s Repair Shop have garnered national media attention, further proving that this Northern Canadian city is worth paying attention to.
