When it comes to Canadian cuisine, we have our specialties, but do we really know where our culinary personality came from?

If you’re a foodie, you’ve probably wondered the same thing at some point – and now there’s an event that will put it all in perspective. The Edible Museum of Canadian Food and Wine is giving guests a one-night-only chance to attend an interactive exhibition that will leave you educated and full.
