Markets FOOD TRUCKS

Check out some of the city’s finest food trucks, which will be roving around Edmonton this summer

E Local Greenhouse Grown

Handmade Artisan Cheese

Vegan Options & More!

dmonton’s long winters don’t keep us—or our cravings for food—hidden inside. The city’s countless festivals bring out great food trucks but, there’s no comparison to the food-forward summers that are lead by events like Taste of Edmonton. The culinary scene is a defining characteristic of Edmonton, as of late, and food trucks are keeping up with the standard. Comfort food has been redefined by many of these trucks, and while we’re sure there are ‘healthier’ summer options, there’s really no beating saucy sandwiches, baba’s handmade perogies, and Mexican street tacos. Trucks rotate throughout the week, usually serving lunch around downtown and other business hubs. They can end up anywhere from St. Albert to Leduc, but you don’t have to hunt them down with the city’s Street Food App. Most trucks are open 11 am to 2 pm for lunch, but a few may stay open past 6 pm for dinner, or very late at festivals in the

city—all dependent on events and weather. What the Truck?! has been growing in the city every year too. The extravaganza brings over 20 food trucks together at a time so you don’t have to go far to find that macaroni and cheese your friend tried at a music festival, or that barbecue brisket with the perfect sauce. Food trucks have events almost monthly through the warmer weather and are easily accessible on Facebook. Whichever way you find your food trucks, here are some of the best Edmonton can’t get enough of: 1. Drift Drift isn’t the best in Edmonton by luck. Nevin Fenske is a Red Seal Chef, and his business partner (and wife), Kara, is a business management graduate. Drift was one of the first operations to elevate the Edmonton food truck scene and it has remained at the top thanks to its drool-worthy, house-made sauces. Their Pork Belly Sandwich with chili mayo is a thing of beauty.

2. Calle Mexico Mexican food is finally receiving the praise it deserves, and Calle Mexico is leading the food truck path for traditional tacos. Its simple—yet flavourful—tacos, tostadas, and tortas led to the taco truck opening a storefront on 107 Avenue to deliver authentic Mexican tastes all year round. 3. Bully Give them your lunch money— you won’t be disappointed. Bully, with its bright orange truck, is pretty easy to find since it’s on the streets more than most. It’s menu rotates between various comfort food options that’ll have you stuffed, but the all time favourites are their six cheese Bully Mac or Philly Beef open-faced sandwich.

4. Meat Street Pies They say do one thing, and one thing well, and that’s the strategy for the chefs at Meat Street Pies. Husband-wife duo Thea and John Avis bring home-style

savoury pies to the streets. What really stands out is the ability to buy lunch for one with their individual pieces, or the option to buy an entire pie to take home to the family. You can alway pull a Michael Scott and finish a family-sized chicken pot pie for lunch too, no one would judge. 5. Casa12Doce Casa12Doce is technically a Sherwood Park truck but you can find them at Edmonton festivals year round. The truck’s strong point is definitely its array of mild-to-spicy salsas you can pour all over your tacos. Watch for their specials as they also serve tamales on certain days! 6. The Purple Perogy Sure, Edmonton’s culinary scene is booming but this city will never turn it’s back on the humble pierogi. The Purple Perogy handmakes its offerings with a signature creamy dill sauce. Its classic cheddar and potato version will transport you back to your baba’s kitchen. Tamanna Khurana

Dish HYDRATING HIGHBALLS

Joshua Byrne’s wildberry brumble/ Tamanna Khurana

Three Edmonton bartenders share their favourite, hydrating summer cocktails

hough Edmonton’s summer is short-lived, on the whole, long days full of sunlight make Edmonton patios and decks the greatest tools in overcompensating for the city’s excessive winters. Along with summer come sangrias, pale Mexican lagers, and any sort of alcohol mixed with sugary slush. While delightful in taste, all three of those options often yield a painful morning after. Human bodies don’t process booze the same way in the summer as they do in the winter, because the risk of dehydration is much higher. No one wants to pass up on the opportunity to bask in the 11 p.m. Edmonton sunset, surrounded by friends, and a healthy flow of drink. That’s why three of Edmonton’s top mixologist have come up with the solution to avoid hangovers (as much as possible). Nic MacDonald of Woodwork started his hospitality career working in kitchens, which heavily influences his cocktail creation. He experiments with ingredients that you wouldn’t normally find in a cocktail, often working closely with the eatery’s chefs. Canadians have a “seasonal pal40

ate,” he says. People will want something in the summer, then something completely different in the winter. Also: Edmontonians get some killer produce, which can be added to make a complex and fresh cocktail. For MacDonald, the perfect summer drink is the hashiri highball, a custom creation that grew from his fascination of Japanese whisky, and his desire to try new fresh flavours. He acquired a book full of juice recipes that highlighted the balance between unusually sweet flavours of vegetables like carrot with ginger. “A lot of it was based on just making healthy juices,” Macdonald says. “But for me it’s still a liquid I can use in making cocktails.” Whiskey is not a spirit that generally pairs well with hot summer days, but the drink’s kiwi kick, fresh ingredients, and Japanese matcha makes the hashiri highball the ideal way to sneak whisky into a Sunday afternoon. Jennifer Kerr, who honed her cocktail skills working in the famous Rundle Lounge in the Banff Springs Hotel, has gotten the art of depleting excess sugars, sul-

fites, and impurities from cocktails down to a science. It was hard not to, after having spent years creating cocktails for high-end vacationers in the mountains, and now at HALO Bar in Edmonton’s Renaissance Hotel. The not-so-secret secret lies in making your own simple syrup. Simple syrup is just equal parts water and sugar boiled down, and then refrigerated. This breaks down the sugars so that you have to use less raw sugar to achieve the same level of sweetness. “I think a lot of people think in terms of flavours,” Kerr says. “I think in term of feelings. So when you’re talking about a healthy cocktail the first thing I think of is refreshing. When you think about the summertime: it’s sweltering hot, you need something that gives you that light feeling and a Paloma is exactly that for me.” Kerr’s ‘My Favourite Paloma’ is a slight twist on the classic. The addition of simple syrup and bitters allow the flavours to be modified to suit the drinker’s taste. The key is in creating your own flavours rather than using anything store bought, and of course don’t skimp out on the cheapest tequila.

Joshua Byrne had worked in tequila, whisky, and vodka bars before he began at gin-focused Ampersand 27. As a bartender, the appeal of gin is in its light nature and the versatility of the herbs that go into it. Bryne prefers to keep summer cocktails as natural as possible and the Bramble is perfect for that. “It’s a gin based cocktail. Citrus, sugar, very classic but you can add cucumber. You can add fruit, add just about anything that can hold up. You can puree it, throw it on as a garnish. Just open your fridge, see what’s in it.” You can make a fruit or vegetable puree syrup by boiling one part water to one part solid and straining before refrigeration. One key difference is that Byrne uses honey syrup rather than simple syrup, making the drink not just more ethical, but more natural as well. Rather than a garnish, Bryne’s Bramble is topped with a mini fruit salad on the rocks. There are few drinks that would be enjoyed more on a hot sweaty Edmonton day. Tamanna Khurana

BEST AMONG BERRIES

THESE HASKBERRIES TASTE LIKE HASKBERRIES Alberta farmer wants the humble haskap berry to take its rightful place as the province’s premiere fruit

Haskap berries are amazing / Photo Supplied

iquors, powders, and pastries—these are just a few uses that Andrew Rosychuk is exploring with haskap berries. Rosychuk is a city slicker, turned farmer, who owns Rosy Farms. He works in the tar sands in the winter to help fund his passion for agriculture, more specifically berry farming. Rosychuk fell head over muddy heels in love with this enigmatic berry, which purportedly has three times the antioxidants and five times the anti-inflammatory

COOL TREATS

effects of any high bush blueberry. Haskaps have a very high yield rate and they can withstand extreme temperatures. They have the flavour of blueberries mixed with raspberry and black currents. “I had no idea what haskaps were, and I had bought haskaps, currents, and sour cherries. I like to joke though, and say that the bugs love the currents, the deer love the sour cherries, and I fell in love with the haskaps,” Rosychuk says. Unlike Willy Wonka, Rosychuk Zheng Guan, owner of Snowy Dessert / Doug Johnson

has not shut his doors to the public. In 2016 he established a 26-acre orchard, planting 10,000 haskap bushes. In 2017, he hosted a farm field day where 80 curious people attended and planted another 7,000 haskap bushes—no golden tickets required. He has also begun to work and collaborate with many other people and entrepreneurs in the community. Frickin’ Delight Donuts— a vegan café located in Devon that makes all their in-house food from

scratch—were the first to create a haskap vegan donut. “The berries are delicious. They taste like a blueberry without the seeds, but also like a raspberry without the tartness,” says Mandy Woytkiw owner of Frikin’ Delight Donuts. “We were a bit turned off by the glaze because it starts to act like ketchup, but have now begun to experiment with other pastries that we know will work really well.” Rosychuk also started working with Joos, a local company that specializes in making unique blends of pure vegetable and fruit powders. Joos uses a freeze-drying technique that retains most of the nutritional value, and puts an end to the timeconsuming process of juicing. “It was amazing how well the haskap worked out and how well it was going to work in their product line,” Rosychuk says. Rosychuk also made his own

liquor as a proof of concept to show local distilleries and vendors in the hopes they will follow suit. It has an exceptional flavour that could become a staple to any mixologist’s bar, he adds. Rosy Farms is a place where all Rosychuk’s haskap dreams have become reality. “I’m just a big advocate of small business and people creating their dreams, because there are so many things trying to hold people back, and it is just nice when you can do what you want to do,” he says. This summer marks the first time that Rosy Farms will be promoting the haskap berry at two local famers’ markets: 124 Grand Market and the St. Albert Farmers’ Market. With each project, Rosychuk and his team get one step closer to their goal: making the haskap berry an Alberta-defining fruit. Sean Carmichael

(SHAVED) ICE, ICE BABY

Relatively new frozen treat in Edmonton continues to grow in popularity

ust before Whyte Avenue proper begins, a mediumsized cafe sits on a corner lot on the ground floor of a apartment complex. It’s not for nothing that this business bears the name Snowy Dessert, considering the Korean cafe specializes in shaved ice, a cold treat that’s a little more advanced than its name implies. Shaved ice, in short, is made by taking a block of frozen milk (or milk and water, in some cases), which is shaved into tiny, frosty flakes. In feel, it’s somewhat akin to ice cream and frozen yogurt, though lighter and with different toppings. “In Korean tradition, you freeze a piece of ice, and you use knives to scratch it into small pieces. You put sauce and fruit on top of that,” says Zheng Guan, owner and manager of the store. “Right now, we use 100 percent milk, and we add in different ingredients, including honey and

sweetened milk, and some other secret ingredients to make it taste as creamy as it can,” he says. “You can feel that our shaved ice is very different from other shaved ice.” The dessert comes from Korea, though other countries have similar products, like raspado in Colombia, and halo halo in the Philippines. The Korean version, called patbingsu, dates back to the 1910s, and originated with sweet red beans as a topping (some of Snowy Dessert’s menu items have this topping as well). “Sometimes, people in Korea didn’t have a lot to eat. Korea is also cold as Edmonton, too, in a lot of places,” Guan says. “They had to find something to eat.” While frozen yogurt and ice cream may contain frozen fruit, shaved ice uses fresh fruit, and other toppings one might not find in other dairy-based desserts. For instance, a few of Snowy Dessert’s options use

powdered green tea and rice cakes. They also have a chocolate shaved ice, though it’s not terribly traditional. Snowy Dessert uses a specialized machine to shave the ice, but anyone looking to make the dessert at home can do a quick Google search and find some tutorials, Guan says. Snowy Desert opened in the 82 Avenue location last July, and business has been steady ever since. While the business’ first summer drew lines of customers, according to Guan, people still come in for shaved ice during the winter. Shaved ice is a fairly new addition to Edmonton’s culinary world, but, already, more and more shops are opening. “It’s already fairly competitive, the market,” Guan says. “Desserts are also fashion. You have to modify them and change them according to people’s taste and always try to improve to a different stage.” Doug Johnson doug@vueweekly.com

Dish

COLD SOUP

Chef Moe Eddine’s gazpacho in shot glasses / Tamanna Khurana

GAZPACHO IS THE PERFECT SUMMER SOUP Selling a cold soup to people is a tricky task, but this Iberian offering has flavour and vitamins for days

aking cold soup sound appetizing is not an easy task, so it’s not surprising that finding gazpacho in Edmonton is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The dish itself is shockingly easy to make, requiring only tomatoes, cucumber, spices, whatever other flavours you crave, and a blender. When made by someone with a veteran flavour palate the dish is far more than cold tomato soup. The variety of spices can make the soup a health-conscious, savoury substitute to a heavy meal on a hot summer day. Gazpacho originates from the Andalusian region in the south of

Spain, with variations going back to the time when ancient Romans arrived in the area. It’s still common in this part of the world, and around Seville. While there are versions common in other parts of Spain and Portugal, outside of these regions gazpacho was mostly just a trend in the 1980s. Chef Lino Oliveira, one of the city’s leaders in Portuguese and Spanish cuisine at Sabor and Bodega, adds gazpacho to the restaurants’ menus every August. He admits it’s hard to sell it when you tell a guest that it’s a cold soup. “People who had them really

enjoyed them, but it’s not something everyone’s willing to try,” Oliveira says. Gazpacho is packed with flavour, depending on how it’s made, and can be suited to anyone’s taste. Chef Moe Eddine from the Renaissance Hotel worked in Cyprus for years, and would make gazpacho often to help guests beat the heavy Mediterranean heat. While Edmonton doesn’t share the same climate as Cyprus, there’s reasons to add gazpacho to your diet. “In summer time I think it’s a great option for healthy alternatives,” Eddine says. “It’s refreshing: no gluten, no fat basically,

and you can get all your fibre from it too. It’s basically a balanced meal without the protein.” The dish can be what you make of it. There has never been a set recipe for gazpacho, but classically, the base is tomato with cucumber. If you search for gazpacho ideas online you can find everything from avocado, zucchini to melon bases. You pick your base, and add spice per your preference. If you want, delicate cold proteins like scallops, prawns or prosciutto can be added to complete the meal. “You’re having a raw vegetable dish with a lot of flavour,” Olivei-

ra explains. “It’s well composed, and it is a very healthy way that goes with the trend now of juicing and eating raw foods. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t come back as a trend.” There’s very little stopping gazpacho from making a comeback. It is unbelievably healthy, very easy to make, and much tastier than the connotation that ‘cold soup’ gives off. The right gazpacho can taste refreshing and spicy in the same sip, all the while giving your body all the nutrients it needs to survive out in the sun. Tamanna Khurana

The secret to cruising, touring, bombing or commuting through Edmonton by bicycle is to find the nearest ravine or river valley access, and keep to the valley as long as you can. Not only is it the most serene and shady route, it’s often the simplest, shortest, and has the least traffic to contend with. The valley winds from northeast to southwest with ravine offshoots leading up into many neighbourhoods. For the outer perimeter, bike trails and signed bike routes/ sharrow lanes are generally best. Although bikes are permitted on all city roads, the Whitemud, Yellowhead and other major thoroughfares aren’t the most pleasant. Detouring around them often only takes a few minutes, and is well worth it.

Adventure GOING UP AND DOWN

The 100th Street Funicular / Supplied

N O A T N N D O T M HE D E S S A E L L G E V T A A T E O R R G

An overview of the city’s latest asset in the river valley

hose who are familiar with Edmonton’s downtown core, know it has certain constants that seem to have always existed. They can be the high quality sandwiches at the Italian Centre, the questionability of the water

The goal of this contraption’s construction was conceived in tandem with the city’s focus on downtown accessibility. The inner core of the city bleeds into the local green river valley, so it was only a matter of time until

accessibility to the river valley for all citizens, but also to supply a unique kind of social space. “We wanted to make an inviting place, coupled with the birds-eyeview of the river valley and I think we’ve accomplished that,” says

“Initially, there was immense study on placement. Once a position was picked then we hit the fun point of ‘OK, how are we going to build this?’” at City Hall’s wading pool, or the grueling staircase to get to and from the river valley. City officials took it upon themselves to remedy the issue of river valley accessibility last December, after opening the 100th street funicular, a diagonal form of an outdoor elevator. 68

it built some connective tissue between the two. Development began back in 2015, and the funicular and surrounding natural area was completed last winter. The entire ensemble includes a lookout, promenade, and footbridge, all of which were designed to not only give suitable

Jesse Banford, the city’s director for facility infrastructure delivery. Banford oversaw the bulk of the funicular and its corresponding component’s construction over the two-year period. By juggling numerous project managers and feedback from citizens, Banford was able to create

something that had not been seen in the city before. “Initially, there was immense study on placement. Once a position was picked then we hit the fun point of ‘OK, how are we going to build this?’” Banford says. Function and fashion had to come into play immensely as the nature of the funicular had to suit the needs of the people of the city, but also not look like a giant glass box in the middle of a lavish valley. Measures were taken to make sure of this as the entire setup includes strategic wood placements, making it blend against the natural backdrop of the area’s vegetation. “The initial question we asked ourselves was: ‘How do we make it look like it is supposed to be there?’” Banford says. Since the installment’s opening in December, the area has seen

MAY 31 – SEPT 4, 2018

high pedestrian traffic and positive feedback from many in the city. However, some have questioned why a winter city needed such an expensive installation that will probably only see consistent use during our short summers. “It doesn’t matter what you deliver or propose; there’s always going to be critics … a lot of the feedback has been overwhelming and even the naysayers are impressed,” Banford says. With warm weather already here, this new addition to the city will be put to the test and Banford and his team are standing by, as over the next year adjustments will be made as the area grows in popularity. As far as it seems right now this new addition to the city will breathe new life into the river valley— let’s just hope it’s all going up from here. Jake Pesaruk

Adventure CANOEING

DEVON TO EDMONTON — BY PADDLE

Edmonton Canoe offers the opportunity to canoe from Devon to Edmonton during the summer months All Summer Edmonton Canoe Voyage begins on Devon riverside edmontoncanoe.com

The canoe from Devon to Edmonton / Mitch Goldenberg

’ll never forget my partner’s glee as we pulled our canoe onto the Windermere Golf and Country Club last summer. “Land!” she screamed, as we pulled our canoe up to the shore and stepped out of our tin voyageur for the first time in four hours. “Lunch!” I yelled as we marched toward the clubhouse. Our halfway checkpoint from a day on the North Saskatchewan River offered us the rare opportu-

Summer Adventure Sale May 31 – June 17

nity to walk, eat, and look at each other face-to-face. It’s not that we didn’t appreciate the chance to paddle through nature on that rainy August day, but rather, we were eager to enjoy the break we had been working toward all morning. Our experience with Edmonton Canoe began on a weekend morning at 9 am, when our bus departed Laurier Park heading southwest.

For $120, the company ships you and a partner to Devon, provides you with a canoe, two lifejackets, and paddles. Then, they push you off the shore to wander through 35 km of water, trees, golf courses, dog parks, bridges, cottages, and finally, the city’s downtown skyline. The stream flows in your favour, but sometimes the wind doesn’t. That was our main challenge during a day of peaks and valleys, literally and figuratively, paddling back to our car. Devon made for a peaceful start to the journey amongst a rocky shore filled with trees and cliffs. Once we passed a few fishermen and separated from the pack, tunes were cranked, sing-a-longs commenced and it wasn’t long until we untied our first bag of snacks. We kept searching for the sources of mysterious wildlife noises,

including quacks, squawks and buzzing. Soon after, we spotted a beaver building a dam. 73 bottles of beer on the wall later, we lost cell phone service and felt our first sprinkle of rain. The wind picked up as we inched closer to our desired lunch spot. Mother Nature would make us earn our break with an hour of intense paddling through wind to stay on-course. Comfy seats and bathrooms awaited us in the clubhouse as we regrouped for the second half. As we approached the limits of Edmonton proper, progress came to a halt. Our canoe blew towards rocks in the middle of the river, making the water shallow and paddling impossible. After 10 minutes of maneuvering attempts with our bodies and paddles, we came to the sad reality that I would have to get into the water and push.

It was a dark moment as I looked down at my shoes, imagining my feet in the cold water having to dry off in the breezy chill. The shuddering boosted my motivation—you can do this. Another 10 minutes of wiggling our bodies and digging our paddles into the ground did the trick. We floated back into the stream and would soon swoon from the sound of cars racing over the Anthony Henday Highway bridge. We were close! Passing familiar landmarks was the best part—Terwillegar Dog Park, Patricia Ravine Trail, and finally, Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park. Land ho: Our glorious return to shore marked the beginning of a few days of soreness, and the end of a demanding, rewarding, and memorable day streaming on the North Saskatchewan. Mitch Goldenberg

icycles are the best. Super fun? Check. Great exercise? Absolutely. Can ride on water? Actually, yes—if you invest in the pontoon bike contraption that a local company is importing from Italy. Through their company Schaefer Innovation, Edmonton husband-and-wife team Chris and Simona Schaefer, have the distribution rights to the Shuttle Bike Water Riding Kit. It turns nearly any bike into a propeller-driven watercraft, advertised as having a cruising speed of 10 km/h—twice as fast as a canoe. “Riding your bike on the water, it’s like a fantasy,” Chris Schaefer says. “I think it’s going to revolutionize cycling.” On an early-spring weekday evening, the Schaefers were demoing the kit to a couple of interested buyers in a windowless basement hotel meeting room. They’d planned to do an on-water demo, but the pool was closed for maintenance—

so instead they showed off how to set up the kit. Using a generic Schwinn hardtail mountain bike—you can order kits to fit 26”, 27.5”/29” or even 20” folding bike wheel sizes— they started by attaching mounting brackets to the seat stays and down tube of the bike frame. These have their own tightening hardware, so there’s no need to pack wrenches. Then they used the back-wheel-powered dyno to power the included pump to inflate the three-metre pontoons. After futzing with some metal tubes, they popped the bike on top of the floaties—a bike was now a boat.

A propeller mounted under the front wheel drives the rig and you steer like you would a normal bike. The whole thing weighs 12 kilograms, fits in an included backpack, and has a load capacity of 140 kilograms. The kit costs $2,300 to $2,500 depending on which wheel size you need, and Schaefer says he’ll back that up with a fiveyear warranty. It all sounds very good—but how stable is a person perched on a bicycle mounted on air chambers? “It’s very safe,” Schaefer told the prospective buyers. “The pontoons are dual-chambered,

in case one tears. And they’ve tested this with ocean waves and by having a Sea-Doo intentionally drive close to it.” Schaefer, who describes himself as a serial entrepreneur, says he first saw the Shuttle Bike Kit online while looking for green transportation initiatives. After contacting the Italian company Shuttle Bike Kit Engineering—a small, family-run business that has been making these kits for about seven years—he secured the exclusive distribution rights for Canada, good for 750 units in 2018. It’s the first time this technology is available in the country

and Schaefer says he anticipates enthusiastic adoption. In the hotel meeting room, one of the prospective buyers—a young German man—says he is planning an epic river adventure combining canoeing, kayaking and possibly now biking down on the water. So could this be the evolution of cycling? For the kind of rider who truly wants to avoid aggressive drivers and crowded trails, it could be an investment in tranquility. “And you don’t get dirt and dust in your face,” laughs Simona Schaefer.
