As a Calgarian it was so nice to see the city through fresh eyes. You should absolutely come back in the summer. Calgary has a massive festival called the Calgary stampede that is wild!
This comment made our day-thanks so much for watching! Funny you mention that Calgary stampede. When we were at the Marriott airport bar the bartender was telling us all about it and it seems like an awesome event, so now we are planning on going at some point. Though we were in Calgary to bookend our Banff trip, we hope we can encourage others to explore this city because we loved everything we saw there. Thank you for watching and for the recommendation!
You had me at donuts and coffee! What a cool thing to sky walk. Love a dough donut over a cake donut. Love Asian inspired food. Yum. Texas bbq in Canada wow. I bet the drinks were top notch. You guys found some great options! And Marriott bar looked great. 🎉wow guys. Well done.
We really couldn’t believe how good the food was in Calgary. Those donuts blew us away (and what better way to start your day than eating way too many doughy donuts?). We are so happy you enjoyed it!
Great choice! What a good way to start your vacation to Cancun 🥃🌴! That was the best smoked old fashioned we’ve ever had, and the bartenders were excellent. Thanks so much for watching!
It was so good! There aren’t many great BBQ spots that also serve elevated craft cocktails (at least in our experience), so we were blown away. We hope you get to go!
Use to be a forno chef at Joeys for a year, fantastic food is put out of that kitchen and the workers treat that establishment like it's their own. Hayden block beans are unmatched.
That is so cool to know about Joey’s. When the workers think of the restaurant as their own it really shows. And YES to Hayden Block’s beans! As a southerner I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the best baked beans I’ve ever had are from Hayden Block in Canada. Absolutely incredible
Next time you are in Calgary, you will need to try our newest burger spot, Class Clown Burgers. It is the best burger I have had and Alberta beef is always a must! As for Hayden Block, it's our little secret spot after 10 PM as all the meat is half priced, perfect for after sporting events.
These are fantastic recommendations-thank you so much! We really fell in love with Calgary while we were there and definitely want to go back. I think alot of travelers look past Calgary on their way to Banff, but it’s such a cool, pretty city with some great restaurants. We are adding these places to our list for next time. Thank you!!!
It was one of the few restaurants we hit (not sure how long you watched), but we don’t have that chain near us so it was new for us. We live in Orlando and get a lot of unique, smaller chain restaurants from other regions. Though we don’t generally prefer chains to mom & pop joints, we like to keep an open mind and give them a try. We actually liked Joey so no regrets here. If you have any recommendations for next time we would love to hear. Thank you and hope you had a merry Christmas.

Oh my gosh I want those donuts again
Those donuts haunt our dreams

I got the same drink at Yakima this spring before going to Cancun!

I want to go to that BBQ & cocktail place! I must admit that Calgary looks amazing

Noble Pie is also one to consider for a pizza date spot as it's a hidden game.

Cool airport hotel
Fully agreed!!! We don’t often stay in airport hotels but this one was really nice. We could have sat by the window watching planes take off all day 🛫
👍👍
Thanks so much for watching! We love your city 😀
lol you came to Calgary and HIT JOEY (A chain restaurant that is mid). Come on dude.
It was one of the few restaurants we hit (not sure how long you watched), but we don’t have that chain near us so it was new for us.

@@micalebgoeswest Model Milk, Nupo, The Nash, Shokunin, River Cafe, Alloy, Bow Valley Ranch to name a few. Calgary has a fantastic food scene.
Thank you so much! We are planning our next trip so we truly appreciate you sharing these! We know there is so much more to explore in Calgary
It’s pronounced YACK-I-MAH
Thank you! We tried looking up pronunciations but struggled. Thanks!
