Edmonton Folk Music Festival 2018

Folk Fest food (clockwise): fried gnocchi with tomato sauce from The Crazy Italian (satisfying but a bit salty); split peas and spicy lentils with injera from Langano Skies (very flavourful); potato chips from Lunchpail Catering (needed more dill dipping sauce; otherwise very average); fried cauliflower, veggie fried chicken, and spring rolls from Padmanadi (a perfect vegan snack). #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats #nofilter #folkfest #festivalfood

Just Desserts: Cookie Monster Milkshake at Re:Grub

Decadent brownie and chocolate chip cookie from @sugaredandspiced. Easily the best brownie I have ever had (short of my mom’s) and the cookie had the right crunch-chew-chocolate ratio. #yeg #yegfood #yegeats #yegfoodie #sugaredandspiced #bakery #brownie #cookie

Burger from Bully Food Truck

This burger from @bullyfoodtruck was so excellent. A perfectly seasoned patty with garlic aioli, picked onions, and picked. I could not really detect the brisket cracklings unless they were incorporated into the patty itself. Sweet brioche bun. I held the cheese. #yeg #burger #beef #yegfood #yegeats #latergram #yegfoodie

Masala Dosa from La Tastebuds

This is a doozy of a dosa. Filled with potatoes, and served with two chutneys and a vegetable soup. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats

Beef Dip at Brewsters

Beef dip - the roast beef was piled high with tangy onions and savoury horseradish aïoli in a pretzel bun. #yeg #yegfood #brewsters #yegfoodie #nofilter #beefdip #sandwich

Taro Bubble Milk at Chatime

There’s a new Taiwanese bubble tea and snack place on Whyte Ave. Chatime is huge and spacious. My regular size Taro bubble milk with pearls was the right size and taste. You can pick toppings and how much sugar and ice you want. #yeg #bubbletea #taro #yegfood #yegbubbletea #yegfoodie #whyteave

Breakfast for Lunch: Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich at Cafe Leva

Smoked salmon breakfast sandwich, with lots of salmon, avocado, red onion, and a few (too few) capers. I held the cream cheese. The toasted multigrain bagel was terrific. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats #cafeleva #smokedsalmon

Sandwiches at Donna's Eatery

These were the biggest sandwiches I have ever encountered in Edmonton. Turkey and roast beef, made to order in a combo with pop and fries and onion rings, respectively. Donna’s is way on the west edge of the city but well worth the trip. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats #sandwiches @donnaseatery

Vegging Out: Beyond Meat Burger at A&W

I finally tried A&W’s Beyond Meat burger. It lived up to what I’ve been reading, that it tastes almost just like a beef burger. The texture is lighter and softer than ground beef. Also, it comes with mayo, so if you’re vegan you’ll want to hold that. #yeg #vegan #vegetarian #a&w #beyondmeat #nofilter #fastfood #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats

Just Desserts: Panda Milk Foam Bubble Tea at Gong Cha

My birthday is not until Friday, but I went to Gong Cha for my free drink today. The Panda Milk Foam Tea has a top layer of milk foam toooed with crumbled cookies, and tapioca pearls and lychee further down. Move the straw around, and every sip tastes different. #yeg #bubbletea #gongcha #yegfoodie #yegfood #yegeats #nofilter

Just Desserts: Ice Cream at Yelo'd

Ube (purple yam) and Buko (coconut) swirl soft serve. The ube was very mellow with the coconut definitely dominating. Very refreshing and smooth. #yeg #yelodicecream #icecream #yegfoodie #yegfood #yegeats #nofilter

Turkey Burger from Bully Food Truck

This turkey burger from @bullyfoodtruck was amazing! A huge patty with excellent seasoning, topped with turkey bacon, garlic aioli, and pickled onions. I held the cheese. Knife and fork were required. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats #nofilter #bullysfoodtruck

Just Desserts: Cappucino Popcorn Rice Square from Bully Food Truck

A souvenir from Interstellar Rodeo. I think I need a hammer and chisel. (Note: I have had this puffed rice, chocolate, popcorn, and cappuccino cup delight from @bullyfoodtruck before, and it is worth the effort!) #yeg #yegfood #yegfashion #yegeats #nofilter #irodeoyeg

Just Desserts: Ice Cream at 80 Flavours

Ube (purple yam) and green tea ice cream melting quickly in the heat! The ube reminded me of taro, which I often order as bubble tea. The green tea really tasted like tea. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #nofilter #icecream #yegeats #80flavours

Beef Short Rib at Sugar Bowl

Braised beef short ribs with asparagus and roasted potatoes. The dish usually comes with mashed potatoes but they were out. Mashed would have carried the plentiful and slightly spicy au jus better, but the meat was fork tender and delicious. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #sugarbowl #yegeats #beef #nofilter

Breakfast at Fatburger

Ultimate hangover all-day breakfasts at Fatburger of all places. Two eggs, hash browns, and toast, with a choice of pancakes, sausage, or bacon. Pay more and get more choices, with all three being the XXL. This large was a mere $7.95. #yeg #breakfast #yegfoodie #yegeats #fatburger #yegfood
