If you’ve been around the block once or twice, at least at Churchill Square during Taste of Edmonton, you know that some restaurants return year after year. Nothing wrong with that.

But if you’re of a mind to be adventurous, there are some first-time attendees who have created some delicious dishes for this year’s festival.
1. Avocado & Beef Jam Grilled Cheese, Underground Tap & Grill (3 tickets, booth 42)
Okay, I’ve got to be upfront here. I started my Taste of Edmonton experience somewhat confused and ended up squandering a disproportionate number of tickets at Underground. I ate all three of their dishes, including the cauliflower and cheese veggie wings, which at a mere two tickets were amazing value, and lip-smacking. Still, I had to go with the grilled cheese as my top choice because it was yummy and had the word “beef jam” in the title.
2. Apple Sausage Corn Dog, May (4 tickets, booth 14)
Still confused by my assignment (I’ve now been retired for two years and have lost the ability to follow basic instructions) I once again sampled too many dishes at one booth. Profligacy notwithstanding, I can confidently recommend the apple sausage. Though it was unruly due to its portion size, I am a fan of big food and happily wrestled the generous chunk of sausage into submission. The cornbread batter was sweet and rich and just the right amount of crisp.
3. Bacon Jam Crostini, Gia’s Deli & Catering (2 tickets, booth 4)
By this point, I was down to the last two tickets I had budgeted for this category. So I went with the two-ticket option — the bacon jam crostini. If you find yourself with more than two tickets, take a chance on the other items, as this was so-so.
