I guess it goes to show the importance of researching your destination beforehand. I live in Montreal and its common to ask bus drivers questions about the route, native montrealers do it all the time so I assume visitors would too. Helps to know the norms of the place you're visiting… Read More

In the sections describing the company and the environment, its a red flag for me if there isn't anything unique. If a company can't show how it stands out from other companies, I don't want any part of it.

I feel like people forget how often we eat maple syrup (at least in Quebec). sure, maybe you only have it straight out of the can on occasion when you have pancakes or waffles but is everyone forgetting that every other dessert is maple flavored? maple cookies, maple ice cream, maple… Read More

I think the real question is, where are the all dressed chips? Whether you like them or not, as far as I've seen you can only find those in Canada. Pickle and ketchup chips might be less popular in the states and UK but you can still find them

Maybe if you're going to do a superbowl food post, try to make it more centric to SF and KC? Kansas City throws down with bbq and local beer (boulevard, Martin city, mothers, etc.) I'd be curious to see what SF does seeing as it is a culinary powerhouse

Oat milk is so good! Especially in tea and coffee. It's the only milk I'll ever drink straight (besides like, whole chocolate milk but that's practically melted ice cream). Oat milk is a more ecologically friendly alternative using less water, space, and other resources for production.… Read More
