Winnipeg's fleet of street food trucks serve a smorgasbord
of global cuisines including Fillipino, Japanese, Italian,
Ukrainian, Mexican, French and Middle Eastern eats. Along
with North American favourites like hot dogs, burgers and
smokies, there are also trucks dedicated solely to chicken
wings and French fries. The fleet typically hits the streets
from late March to late October.

the
Bacon
Winnipeg has a sweet tooth. Confectioners Mordens'
of Winnipeg, the Nutty Club and Clodhoppers, all
internationally known candy companies, started here.
Local chocolatier Constance Popp has a celebrity
connection, with her desserts having been featured both
at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards.
RAW: almond is the world's only pop-up
restaurant located on a frozen river. This popular
annual culinary event runs for three weeks in
late January to mid-February, where star chefs
serve up gourmet multi-course meals inside a
temporary heated structure built on the city's
Red River Mutual Trail.
All packaging for bacon sold
in Canada and ¾ of the bacon
packaging in the United States is
made in Winnipeg at Winpak Ltd.
