DISH
Words: Bryan Birtles / Photographs: Eden Munro
Food is one of life’s constants. There is never a time when food isn’t being consumed
in this city: whether it’s a quick muffin on the way to work, an important business lunch, a snack in the afternoon, a dinner at home amongst friends or a late-night bowl of cereal, food is ever-present in our lives. Far from just being something that keeps us alive, however, food nourishes us in much deeper ways. It’s preparation is meditative, its consumption life affirming. The work that goes into making sure this city stays fed is considerable and goes on at all times, yet it’s something we often think very little about. For the 13th annual Golden Fork Awards, Vue Weekly presents a day in the life of Edmonton’s food scene, and a look into the work that nourishing us entails.
