Calgary Stampede Food Binge 2015: Red Velvet Chicken Strips

Frantically searching through the stampede food map for the location of Pub Grub’s red velvet chicken strips selling point and dragging my weary friends in circles; I began my worthwhile journey to try out one of this year’s new midway food: the Red Velvet Chicken Strips.

Finally finding the building where the chicken strips were being sold, I purchased what would be the most daring thing I had ever tasted with the most basic thing I lunched on everyday. I bought the red velvet chicken strips that came with fries. Once I saw that this food was going to be served at the Calgary Stampede this year, I couldn’t imagine not trying it. My favourite cake is red velvet and one of my favourite bites to have are chicken strips. So a combination of both to me, was unbelievable, not to be cliche, but it was like a dream come true. These “red velvet cake mix” dipped double cooked chicken strips tasted “twice as nice” than your regular chicken strips, just like it said on the Calgary Stampede Website.

It had the crunch and savoury taste of the chicken strips with the mild sweetness of a red velvet cake. Even though the main attraction of the food was the fact that they incorporated the red velvet, this didn’t take away from the quality of the chicken strips themselves like you would expect. These were actually one of the best chicken strips I had ever tasted. I usually have my chicken strips with no dipping sauce and so my normalcy was followed that day. However, my friend did have it with a barbecue dipping sauce and enjoyed it just as much.

From how amazing the strips were, it was no wonder that I was met with a long line to try some out myself. Although it was a long crowded wait, it was definitely a worthwhile one. I really loved the red velvet chicken strips and can’t wait to see what Pub Grub comes up with next year again!

This was probably the craziest food I’ve ever tried in my life and I absolutely loved it. Hope you all had a great stampede.
