Cleaver on 17th Avenue has a few wild cocktails, but this one has to be the most eye-catching.
The Caesar Stack is topped with a fried chicken drum and wing, jalapeno waffle, beef slider, house bacon, tomato fennel ketchup, and a tempura corn dog.
The food sitting on top of this tasty drink also tastes incredible, from the waffles made from scratch to the two-day brined fried chicken that is then sous vide in chicken drippings and deep-fried in a special cleaver spice.
Chef Spain, coming from Ireland, didnât always love the Canadian cocktail, and now sheâs created one of the best places to go on a Calgary Caesar Crawl.
