Eugene: “What’s on the menu for dinner tonight? Geoffry: “We’ll start with a shark fin soup, a main course of prime rib roast with veggies from my garden and finish the meal with some habanero sea salt chocolate paired with a nice La Marca champagne.” Eugene: “Oh mon dieu! Shark fin soup. You know I’m against it.” Geoffry: “My dear friend. Calm down. I don’t mean to offend. We will have butternut squash soup instead.” Eugene: “Wonderful. Count me in.”

Our love began in Casel Marche with our clues and breakfast we were on our way You took us to fourth and we had a baguette We danced on the tables, we weren’t finished yet 3 farmers markets, umami paste and wine Our senses were delighted but we couldn’t stay to dine We cut some tomatoes, we drew a red tree We hugged a cheese troll and with five famous ladies, we drank a cup of tea Oh Calgary your food scene is something to behold The flavours are new, authentic and bold We can’t wait for next year’s Culinary Treasure Hunt to discover more great places that we can uncover.
