14 Southern Barbecue Restaurants in Calgary
It’s summertime and our thoughts turn to barbecue — but not the grilled meats most Canadians have come to call barbecue — the kind that’s cooked for hours in a wood-burning smoker and all its hearty accompaniments. This Southern style of cooking is a food trend sweeping the city.

How Calgary Chefs Find Their Inspiration
By Shannon Cleary, Jacquie Moore, Gwendolyn Richards and Julia Williams; photography by Jared Sych You’d be forgiven for expecting a conversation with Michael Noble to touch on food. The inaugural chef at Catch, innovator of Earl’s menus and now chef-owner of The Nash and Notable is, after all, four decades into an enviable career that pivots on developing some of the restaurant industry’s most creative and enduring dishes. But nope: food is not the thing that inspires and drives Noble.
48 Summer Eats Under $20
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth, Kathe Lemon and Gwendolyn Richards; photography by Jared Sych It may be called chicken on the way, but what we dream about are the corn fritters from this local chain. Always order more than you think you’ll need as these little gems disappear fast. —K.L.

6 Best Traditional Tacos in Calgary
There’s little that can beat the crunch of a battered piece of basa. Añejo’s basa comes on flour or corn tortillas and can be ordered individually (for a post-work bar snack) or in groups of three or six for a full meal.

The decor says hip and modern taqueria, but Native Tongues is dedicated to sacred Mexican culinary traditions.

Fish tacos are typically a deep-fried affair with the battered fish as the star of the show. Anju’s version steers away from Baja tradition with a Korean take that involves a bit of DIY dining. A whole sea bream (a mild, white fish) is steamed and served alongside fresh salsa spiked with soy, a slaw made from green onions and seaweed lightly seasoned with a bit of salt and sesame oil.
6 Local Toppings to Make Your Taco Next Level
This authentic joint in Crossroads Market has an extensive selection of sauces, the most interesting of which is the coconut salsa. A little bit tangy, a little bit sweet, it’s a delight spooned over grilled shrimp, and an obvious companion to anything involving pineapple. Everyone loves guacamole and the stuff from Chongo’s Market is the best.
Best Millennial Dining in Calgary
Each generation leaves an imprint on the experience of dining out, from what’s on the menu and how it’s cooked, to what the room looks like and what diners expect of the people working that room. The harbingers of influence right now are the millennials — tech-savvy, hyper-connected, socially conscious experience-curators who like their ingredients local and their liquor brown.
Meet Endurance Adventurer Laval St. Germain
Laval St. Germain has been a bike commuter for the past two decades, even during the years when his workplace was the Calgary International Airport. But for the 48-year-old Calgarian, an extreme adventurer whose “vacations” have included rowing across the Atlantic and climbing Mount Everest, waking up at 5 a.m. to bike from his home in Mount Royal to the outskirts of the city during a winter squall is just a good first workout of the day.
