So the name, The Happy Truck, is kinda clever. They call it the H.appy Truck because it serves Appies (appetizers) to satisfy your Appy-tite. I love word play. But I love food more. First of all, I have to say that the Happy Truck, made me… not so happy. Like table-flipping unhappy. Tracking it down…
As summer fully hits Calgary, Food trucks are starting to really hit the road. And nothing quite brings the heat as much as the flashy Braizen Food Truck. The first thing I noticed about the truck was the flames that decorated the front. I took a picture, but I later on realized that it didn’t…
I was able to speak with “Alley Burger Mike” about this interestingly named truck and was quite delighted to hear that they try to get everything local and natural.

Nothing quite beats celebrating Canada Day like trying out local food. I’ve never tried our local food trucks before, although I have heard recommendations from people about “Fries & Dolls.” I decided that there was no better opportunity to try it than at Fort Calgary while Canada Day celebrations were going on. Through the crowds…
When I stumbled upon The Mighty Skillet, it was the day I went to pick up report cards at school. I woke up bright and early (for a teenager) at 10:30 a.m. I checked the Street Food App, their Twitter and Facebook pages and to my pleasure, it was parked downtown, right on my route to school.…
It was a drizzly, morose, spring afternoon. Fresh out the exam room, I hobbled along the quescient streets of downtown Calgary. Staring at the pale concrete sidewalk, something orange caught my eye. I looked under the rim of my umbrella, and to my utter astonishment, there, parked across the street, was the illustrious Cheezy Bizness…
With all this cheerful summer weather beaming down at us – not to mention any unanticipated rain storms – it is the perfect mood for ice cream or frozen food pertaining to the sort.

So you’ve probably heard about the Food Truck pilot project, which started in the summer of 2011. A fleet of food trucks have been driving around, bringing gourmet treats to Calgarians across the city.

Last September, I posted about the Food Truck Revolution. In less than a year, it seems the trucks have done a complete takeover of Calgary’s street scene and are here to stay.

Last Friday night (cue Katy Perry’s song), I had an awesome time exploring 12 Ave and 2 St; there were tons of food trucks lined up, and I decided to try the Holy Crepe food truck. Among 20-some other food trucks, this 4-month old truck has a sweet twist on the thin pancake. Tasting Chef…
Today, I set out to review one of the Montreal-inspired food trucks that have come out to feed hungry Calgarians. The Red Wagon Diner Food Truck, with it’s shiny red exterior and familiar “red wagon” image, was spotted outside the Shaw Building at 6 St and 3 Ave SW. The menu had been enticing me…
The good and the bad, year 2015 cannot be described in one word. However, it can be summarized by these 17 photos. The refugee crisis, the Paris attacks, and more, these images, in unranked order, convey more than any words could. …
