Three to Eat: Choice picks for two tickets - Edmonton Journal

Article content

A Taste of Edmonton visit will inevitably leave just a couple tickets kicking around but there are plenty of good ways to put them to use. The festival bartenders are happy to take tickets as tips, you can donate them at the festival gate as food bank donations or you indulge further with a decent selection of dishes for a mere two tickets, or about $4.00.

Booth 4, two tickets

A heap of fresh, finely-shredded cabbage is drizzled with an onion dressing as it’s served, finished with a sprinkle of black and white sesame seed, which adds some diversity to the dish. Not dressing the cabbage ahead of time helped it retain its crunch but if you’re after more than one item, grab this one first and let it marinade in the dressing as long as possible.

Booth 27, two tickets

Hot-sauce-tossed food has been a perennial pub-grub favourite. Cauliflower was slowly integrated into menus around town as a vegetarian option to the standard hot wings and I’m surprised it took as long as it did to toss mushrooms around in a bowl of buffalo hot sauce. The sturdy fungi are well-suited to being battered and deep-fried before getting dressed in a thick and spicy coating. And while the mushrooms aren’t huge, seven in a dish is a decent deal for two tickets.

Booth 29, two tickets

This little cup of creamy starch would hit the spot when looking for something filling after a few beers. It’s rich and satisfying but unexciting otherwise and could be dressed up six ways from Sunday but for two tickets, this is a reasonable value. It’s served hot and best enjoyed that way.
