Calgary's food scene has undergone a transformation that goes far beyond the classic steak and potatoes. Think pig's head mortadella or kale Caesar salad. 

“I think it’s a really exciting place to dine right now," says CHARCUT Roast House's Connie DeSousa, a finalist in Top Chef Canada and recent recipient of Top Female Chef honours by Vacay.ca. "A lot of restaurants are steering toward more humble, honest flavours.” 

Here, in my recent Insider for The Globe and Mail, DeSousa shares five places to sample Calgary's culinary scene.

Update: The photo credit for the very movie-like image here (what's going to happen next?!) was initially omitted due to human error. #sorry! You can find more of his creative work at Jason Stang

    Mint-green van

    It started with a 1979 GM van. Throw in miles (and miles) of Canadian scenery, sisters, dogs and my Dad's Crystal Gayle tape and what do you get? A love of travel. And yes, this travel blog.
