I Traveled to Canada for the LARGEST All You Can Eat “MEAT FESTIVAL” in North America!

[@iandelacruz2539]

I live in Calgary but I've never heard of any of these places in my life. Thank you for making me realize I never get out of the house. I'll definitely visit these places soon!

[@amyrivers4093]

It has been said that at least once in a lifetime we should be a tourist in our own city. This highlights to me that I need to check out the food in my country New Zealand.

[@jessestrecheniuk]

been in Calgary for 15 years... I have never heard of this!! good job!!

[@Turkeyinthehay]

I've lived in Calgary my whole life and have never heard of this event. Mind blown. You also took some really great pics of the city! Thanks for coming over!

[@Tangerined]

Same here! But I just looked it up and its $140 dollars and the event only lasts 3 hours... Seems expensive.

[@Turkeyinthehay]

@@Tangerined Good to know. "All you can eat without taking time to enjoy it" is more like it. Too bad - it's a fun idea. I can't eat as much and as fast as Mike can.

[@RockinBobXYZ]

@@TangerinedHe said you get 5 drink tickets too. That alone is about $50 value.

[@cdpond]

I've lived in Calgary for 45 years... I've never heard of this before. Obviously, their marketing is phenomenal. lol

[@rhondalockrey9592]

That looked impressive to try so many different items! Thanks for coming to Canada Mike!

[@AymanKhan]

Been watching you for years, its so surreal to see you on 17th ave haha so many late nights there

[@kinorinadiy]

Anyone that comes to Calgary needs to try the VEITNAMESE FOOD !!! Especially the banh mi. We have tons of unique veitnamese dishes like goat soup, hot pot..

[@DabsDad]

Bun Bo Hue is my fav

[@AymanKhan]

@@kinorinadiy any recommendations? I keep going to this place at UCalgary called BakeChef but I'd love to try other banh mi places

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

I appreciate you filming this during a 3-hr. period of time and trying to eat as much as you can and still enjoying yourself while filming, not an easy task to do. Also, the descriptions of everything you ate were very helpful to any foodie or chef looking for any new ideas. Anyone watching this, get out and help support your local food festivals when they happen, support your Mom & Pop Ethnic Restaurants and also your local Farmer's Markets and International food stores.

[@BenSanchez-n6w]

Welcome to Canada , we have fantastic food from all over the world

[@brokenhands512]

Mike is a national treasure and we love you.

[@venom60553]

Wow I live here 35 yrs …never heard of it… welcome to Calgary

[@spencerfortier7627]

First of all I am super happy you enjoyed the city, and somehow as someone born and raised you showed me all new things to try!

[@sherio8094]

I live in Calgary and have always wanted to go to beast and brewery but have not gone yet, thanks for the wonderful showcase ! Pure is my favorite especially those little sesame meats I go just for those ! So packed with flavour !

[@MTong-jg5ke]

Welcome to Alberta! You should come back to check out Calgary Stampede and Edmonton Heritage Festival! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

[@orangeninja912]

Steers & Queers at the stampede

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Cool that you came up here to Calgary. I have been to Calgary many times, but I have never been to that festival. Edmonton doesn't have that, but we do have many other festivals. That food looks so good. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦

[@citylumberjack9169]

Mike's in his happy place for sure!!! And I am living vicariously through his enjoyment.

[@SUSLabrat]

Mike, you gotta come to Edmonton for Heritage Fest! It’s a festival in August that celebrates world cultures but the star is the food! Every ethnicity has its own food on offer.

[@carleenjohnson9063]

Most definatley, love the bison sliders that the natives offer, mmmmmm, as well as the Jamaican Jerk.

[@steveshideler1333]

Could just go to stampede and skip “heritage days”

[@carleenjohnson9063]

@@steveshideler1333 why? Trying something new, in different cities is what this channel is all about.

really happy to see my city being visited by big youtubers, its a really great place to live born and raised here

Hiya fellow Calgarian!

[@tylerarnfinson5774]

Welcome! Calgary has so many delicious and diverse food. Very proud of that! Enjoy!

[@elivate5523]

Lived in Calgary my whole life. I always thought our city was so borning with no great unique choices. Ty for showing me different.

[@theforthhokage]

I live in Calgary, and hands down the Pho from 'Pure Street Food' is probably the best in town.

[@overtonesnteatime198]

I agree. Donairs from My donair and Pho from pure street

[@Shazam999]

Short rib pho there is out of this world.

[@SpankMode-c5v]

​@@Shazam999 it's like going to the dog meat festival in China 😂

[@shanemathews4177]

Better than Mekong?

[@sheenat85]

Everytime I'm in Calgary and want some late night Pho, I go to night owl. It's amazing. They are open until like 230-3am

Cool that you came here and thanks for the local food tips..I previously knew about that biryani place - its was a hidden gem!

[@martincristobal2019]

So glad you came to my city!! I am glad you enjoyed yourself👍🏼👍🏼

[@captainvlain16]

Hi Mike! I follow and am a subscriber of your Strictly Dumpling channel. I am glad you were able to come to Calgary. I was kind of hoping you'd come visit the city as I've seen you go to Vancouver and Toronto here in Canada. I hope you can come back again and see the other Filipino restaurants here.

[@Sourdoughgirl]

Welcome to Calgary. If I knew you were coming for that event I would have gone just to say hi. 😂

[@hayleymah4325]

Same also why did I not hear about this festival?

[@Sourdoughgirl]

@@hayleymah4325 This unique event has been going on since 2012 hosted in Calgary, Vancouver and Vancouver Island but city officials don't seem to be interested promoting it that's why we don't see it on the news or TV whatsoever. If you sign up for Brewery & Beast newsletter you will get all the updated info.

[@aznflare2]

If you're still in town or ever come back I'm a big fan and I'd love to show you around different places to eat! There's some good hole in the wall restaurants and great jewels in Calgary you gotta try!

[@hamansing787]

Mcdonalds is not a hole in the wall place

[@aprilloewen9219]

I live in Calgary and I love the diversity of food we have ❤😊

[@SpankMode-c5v]

Try the dog meat

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Welcome (and farewell) from Alberta, Mikey! "Sweet creamy sauce on top" that'd be the Donair sauce.

[@cmcalgary]

Alumni is so good.

[@noncil]

You should try the Vancouver and Victoria events as well. They showcase the local restaurants usually. I usually go to the Vancouver ones.

[@KKSGCKW]

Mikey! I hope you enjoyed our city!! Never thought you would come to Calgary lol We've got a great food scene here, if you ever find yourself here again there's loads more to eat!

[@bloodsling]

oh sure,I left calgary in 1981 and now I see they have this..could have toughed it out for 43 yrs I guess.

[@athenablau1436]

Looks like a lot of yummy fun! Love the shirt too!

Not Caltown - it is Cowtown! Thanks for showcasing Alberta. As an Albertan myself, I will have to try this out.

Cool festival. Unfortunately $200 to $350 CAD per person is a bit too pricey for me.

[@AymanKhan]

@@ResinAlchemist2024 WHAT 200-350????? I'm 100% sure there's probably a better Brazilian/Texas unlimited BBQ buffet for cheaper in town

I'm glad you came this far in Alberta. ❤

[@shanemathews4177]

I had a Vietnamese guy tell me once that the reason the pho is so good in Calgary is because of the water
