The Calgary Stampede midway is stacked with over 60 new food items this year. Here are seven standouts worth tracking down between July 3 and 12.
Amsterdam Cone Fries from the Poutine King brings five pounds of French fries topped with shredded Gruyère cheese, béchamel sauce, and a truffle mayo drizzle — decidedly not for the faint of heart.
BBQ Rib Cookie from Craig's Cookies pairs a cookie literally stuffed with BBQ rib meat, served with a side of BBQ sauce for dipping. It's the vendor's first Stampede.
Chili Cheese Dog Pizza from Bow Tie Pizza mashes two carnival classics into one: pizza topped with chili cheese dog fixings.
Deep Fried Birria Taco Bomb from Mexican Street Food takes birria and cheese, encases it in a deep-fried corn tortilla, and serves it with consommé for dipping — expect epic cheese pulls.
Fried Frozen Watermelon from Mr. Pickle fries frozen watermelon chunks in mini donut batter and drizzles it with strawberry sauce. It's unconventional enough to merit a try.
Ramen Donut from Wok This Way pairs a golden noodle crust with a cheesy interior for a sweet and savoury snack that captures what the Stampede is really about: culinary risk-taking.
Twister-Roni from Big Coco's skewers pepperoni and mozzarella, drizzles it with garlic butter and marinara, and makes it extra portable for the crowded midway.
