This weekend I spent an afternoon at Taste of Edmonton in search of all things pork and this year’s menu line-up did not disappoint. From bacon bullets to pork belly lettuce wraps, pig was a popular ingredient for many of this year’s vendors. If you like pork as much as I do, you still have six days to head down to Taste of Edmonton to enjoy these swine-filled dishes. So head on down to Churchill Square and taste-test some treats from some of Edmonton’s locally owned and operated restaurants.
