About Us
Canada has amazing food and an underrated culinary scene. From the West Coast to the East Coast to the North Coast and everywhere in-between them, our country has an abundance of fresh ingredients, talented chefs, dedicated producers and farmers, impressive restaurants and a curious crowd of foodies who can’t get enough. Because of this, we want to spread the word — tell Canadians to look in their backyards for outstanding ingredients or dishes (figuratively, not literally), and tell the world that we’re not simply just maple syrup.
Eat North aims to tell stories of the Canadian food scene and the people behind it. From liquor distillers and sodas made from Canadian produce to the wide array of ingredients grown and the chefs who manipulate them into perfection, Eat North tells you why food matters to Canadians.
So, stick with us and Eat North.

Dave Wilkinson - The Web Guy
Without the web nerd, there would be no website, and it’d be pretty hard to explain all the dinners and booze we spend on. A consummate technology addict, his love of food science is only outweighed by his disdain for most forms of molecular gastronomy. He generally remains locked in the dungeon, with the odd chicken & waffles platter slid under the door for sustenance.

Chili Relleno
Food that I wouldn’t mind never seeing again:
Tofurkey

Heston Blumenthal

Three words: mandolin hand guard. *shudder*
Best thing I’ve ever cooked/specialty:
As soon as you say you cook something well, somebody comes around the corner that does it better than you. With that said, I do make a mean jambalaya.
Diana Ng - The Overall Nit-Picker
When we say nit-picker, that goes for food, writing and everything in between. A pain-in-the-ass web editor, writer in constant need of lemons for her thinking helmet, food nerd, Scotch drinker and .gif peruser, she is living the dream of a broke-ass food writer.
Desert food:
Soup noodles
Food that I wouldn’t mind never seeing again:
doughnut
Food idol:
Anthony Bourdain

Throwing fresh chopped bird’s eye chili into hot oil, turning the kitchen into an incinerator
