Thai-Inspired Picnic Chicken Salad
Back in Town / 2014 Beau's Oktoberfest
Ottawa Folk Fest 2014 / Food Trucks & Craft Beer
Two of the biggest food trends over the past couple of years have been the emergence of an eclectic Food Truck scene and small independent breweries popping up everywhere! Both were highlights at this year's Ottawa Folk Fest.
RBC Bluesfest 2014: International Acts
If you have a craving for International Cuisine, Bluesfest has a few options. Thai, Jamaican and Greek. Having done some traveling, the authenticity of the Greek food is questionable but at least they have a gluten-free option of Greek Salad. That being said, this food was a saving grace considering that most people rush home from work to go to the festival. As much as I tried to cook for myself and bring snacks, wanting to see all the shows I wanted to actually became quite tough.. not in my early 20s anymore I guess. I love Bluesfest because I get to run into friends every night. Overall, I had a blast. Saw some amazing and nostalgic bands and there was never a dull moment.
