Food Truckin’ @ WHCA

Since the introduction of Food Trucks on Calgary’s streets, the concept has exploded.  With hundreds of choices of gourmet, snacks and drinks, clients have an opportunity to try something new and different to tickle their palettes.  And sometimes, one is craving food and drink, but they are not in an area with food and beverages and just need something to hold them for a while.

The WHCA is proud to announce that the Calgary Food Trucks will be in attendance on  Wednesday, May 30, 2018 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. out back by the soccer fields/gazebo.  Come on down and get some snacks for the evening or take in the U4/ U6 soccer action with hot dogs, family squeezed lemonade, and mini donuts.

For the full list of Food Trucks that will be in attendance, check out the link below.

Italy Coast-to-Coast

Come and celebrate the delicious food and wine from four amazing cities across Italy, Chef Justin Lall will design a four-course menu inspired from each of our chosen cities in Italy.

Beginning in the south we will start with the famous coastal city of Naples on March 20, the capital of Campania and third largest city in Italy. Naples is internationally famous for its cuisine and wine, known for the rich flavours and inventing the Neopolican pizza.

Next we will move up to the historic city of Rome on May 22, the capital of Italy, Rome has the third highest density of residents in Europe. Rome’s food flavours are vast and influenced from many of its surrounding regions and countries.

For the summer we head off to the region of Tuscany to enjoy the city of Florence on July 24th, if the weather is nice we may dine al fresco on the patio (TBD). Florence cuisine is very comfort based and is heavily focused on meat and wine, Tuscany is one of the most famous regions of Italian wine with big flavour.

We will finish our fourth dinner on October 23 with a fall inspired menu with the northern city of Milan which is knows as the design capital of the world. Milan has developed its own local culinary traditions typical for North Italian cuisines uses more rice than pasta and many braised meats.

Each ticket includes a welcome glass of prosecco, a four-course plated dinner inspired by the region of each city, hospitality and tax. You can choose to include wine pairings for each course, picked from each of the regions to complement each dish.

Seating is limited as we will only be selling 40 tickets to each of these dinners, so make sure to purchase your tickets early. In the true style of Italy we will be dining at four communal tables for the evening to enjoy conversation with others.

Naples – March 20

Rome – May 22

Florence – July 24

Milan – October 23
