What's up guys, this is my Tiny Atlas and we're coming at you from the Calgary Stampede the greatest outdoor show on earth.
This 10 day festival is filled with rodeos, parades and of course food.
And we're excited to try out some of the new addition at Calgary Stampede. Every year stampede comes up
with a list of wacky foods to try. So we are going to try this years addition. I have some stampede bucks here and I am ready to blow it!
Once July hits, Calgary gets in a special vibe, and it ain't stampeding unless you have a belly full of fried food
so we started off with some mini donuts.
Warm, fluffy and sweet like a mother's hug that you've never had. Now watch a clip of this magical donut making machine.
I come to stampede every year to get some mini donuts. Its a tradition of mine.
This looks to be coated in crack.
Whatever it is coated with, its delicious and its addicting.
I could live of this.
Every year.
Alright, first bite. I am going to feel this coming out of the other end.
I can eat this all day, all day.
After trying something familiar we decided to find something out of the ordinary and there was one place on top of our list.
What I have here is deep fried chicken feet. Its the new wackiest item of 2017 of stampede.
Try it if you dare.
But what a lot of people don't know is that its quite common in a lot of
cuisines.
But it is not so common in the Western culture so its a little unique to them.
The chicken feet I eat at dim sum are usually a little smaller. This is a huge chicken feet.
Must have been a big chicken.
It looks like the chicken got pampered before it was deep fried.
This is bigger than my ....
I dont know, its like my three fingers combined.
Overall, I think its decent. Its worth a try.
Just so you know what it is.
But I think I prefer just going to dim sum and getting a plate of
steamed chicken feet. If Popeyes opened up a chicken place and
Everything was below knees. This would be it. This a Popeyes below the knees. It's really good to see that the chicken get some
representation at the Calgary Stampede. For me
I find that the chicken gets underappreciated, and it's good to see that the chickens are clawing their way back onto the menu.
Soon after me and Lesli started to feel the July heat
and what better way to cool down than a bunch of ice-cold brewskis.
Come on now, go ride em cowboy. This is one bad ass cowboy drink.
It's like reliving your childhood in one sip.
Oh god.
Its like putting an ice cube on your nuts on a very hot day.
This is so depressing.
I am going to cherish the last sip
cause jimmy spilled everything on the floor.
This is so sad. I am thirsty too.
We are going to have to get another drink. Jimmy is buying.
Greek tragedy aside our next food item reminded me of an illegitimate love child between a corn dog and a pickle.
"Oh look how big they are"
and indeed big they were.
But it's not what's on the outside that matters. It's what's on the inside.
If you look at this, what a beauty. It looks to be a hot dog in the middle
wrapped around with pickles and that pickle is wrapped around with bacon and all that is battered and deep-fried.
I honestly I haven't eaten since yesterday, so I'm ready to just dive in.
You know this wasn't even exactly what I expected.
Wow.
Combination of the bacon, the hot dog. It truly feels like a whole meal in one bite.
This is crazy. I recommend it this one hundred percent. I missed the taste of corndog
Everything just fell fell apart on me here, but I can get down and dirty if I need to.
Now for the next place, I call it the carnivore alley, and it's not hard to see why
I've the chance to walk around and apparently everybody here is first.
I don't know what is going on, but you can't have this many people winning first place.
We've been seeing a lot of signs for first place
But what is this?
This is second place guys.
You seen it here.
Not acceptable
but we have some the first place ribs here that we're going to try out.
Babe you don't take the whole roll
I know, I am not taking the whole roll.
Saving it for later, my thriftiness is coming out.
I like the sauce. It's almost a little tangy, it's got a little fruitiness to it. We'll see if that holds up.
Don't worry about the mess around here because I'm gonna clean that all up later.
Jimmy was feeling awfully guilty so he got me another drink to cure my thirst.
It's 34 degrees outside and I'm sweating. Theres no better way to cool off than get a lemonade.
Super refreshing, I got the blue raspberry. You can pick from
flavours like mango, peach, watermelon. But I think the blue raspberry is the one to go with.
For our last food, item we were drawn in by the thick, juicy slices of meat
But is it worth the hefty price?
We're about to find out.
This brings back a lot of memories because in Korea we eat a lot of pork belly actually. Not deep fried
but grilled. We call it samgyeopsal.
But I can tell the way it's been fried and it's cooked all the way through inside.
And how juicy it looks I know it's gonna be ****ing delicious. It's crispy on the outside soft on the inside and
It's quite juicy, and I'm really surprised. I really like how the slices are really thick
me personally I like juicy.
I like meaty dishes. I loved it thick. I would definitely recommend this.
Well, that's it guys
We came to stampede to conquer the food and it definitely feels like it our wallets are lighter our tummies are a few pounds heavier.
Make sure to put on your cowboy boots and come visit one
day.
