We recently visited Canada for a few months, and we had a great time exploring places neither of us had been to before. Edmonton sometimes gets a bad rep, however, a lot of people are moving to Edmonton these days, so we had to see what all the fuss is about. We actually spent nearly a whole month in the city and we have to say, we quite enjoyed it. Let us know in the comments if you've ever been there and if so, would you move there? In the next few weeks we'll be releasing more North American content (Banff, Vancouver, Seattle and more) so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! As always, thanks for watching!😀- Brandon & Anja
At this point, I don't think we actually even knew we were going to go back to Poland! Soon after this video was filmed, one of my favorite bands announced a tour, so it became the perfect reason to go there and film. It was great to be back!
Wow ! You guys skioped the best streets and areas! Old Strathcona,ritchie market ,124 st and Garneau . Also the U of A canpus. Whyte ave is very busy like in bigger cities you talked about. Also thebmost Urban area in Edmonton.
Molson! I make a mean Yorkshire pudding. A large one, best done in a roasting pan. Always think of Poland for perogies, but Ukraine is a neighbor, so it makes sense. The food from Uncle Ed's did look really good. I've never seen cabbage rolls without meat. I've seen stuffed grape leaves without meat, but there were herbs and pinenuts. I'm mellow, I'd like Edmonton.
The large ones are best! We recently had a "Yorkshire Wrap" in Leeds. Pork roast with sage stuffing and gravy, wrapped with a big Yorkshire pudding. Delicious! Our next series is actually going to be Poland. Lots of Pierogi eaten in those videos! Uncle Ed's was good - but honestly, it the food we had in Ukraine was incredible (and for a fraction of the price). The cabbage rolls were delicious, but we do prefer a big, chunky cabbage roll, with lots of meat and rice. 😍
Great video BUT every single TH-camr that bothers even coming to Edmonton always says the downtown is dead and never goes to Whyte Ave in the Old Strathcona neighbourhood which is the heart of Edmonton full of Restaurants, Pubs, Cafe's etc. It's Edmonton's main street where all the action happens.
@@wherearewe-ytya Whyte ave is where the action is, but during events the downtown is also a lot more fun. I'm shocked that you spent a month here and nobody suggested Whyte ave to you.
😂 Sherlock Holmes pup I was the kitchen manager at the one in West Edmonton mall for 5 years. One of the best jobs I ever had. We left Edmonton in 2021 for Mexico. Best decision we ever made. ♥️ Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico. 🇲🇽✌🏼🥰
That's awesone..haha. I (Brandon) used to work in kitchens as well before we started moving around and working remotely. Can't even imagine going back to that life at this point! That sounds amazing. Traveling around Mexico together is high on the list for us..but first we're heading back to SE Asia. We used to live there but weren't doing TH-cam back then. Stoked! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks for watching and following along with the Canadian content! We appreciate it! There's a lot of great content coming up. Next is Banff, which is easily one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. Excited to finish up this one and release it next week!
The cabbage rolls were sooo good at that restaurant . And also I want that carrot cake again. You would grow to like Edmonton but more so a family place like you said. Miss you guys !!
We did grow to like it! We wouldn't live there permanently or anything, but there's literally nowhere we've ever considered living permanently..haha. We're excited to come visit again, some time!
Thanks for the video of my home city. Just if you come here again, i recommend. Heading away from downtown. Whyte Avenue is our bustling club scene curb side patios street performance and restaurants next to the university. The truth is that downtown Edmonton is still recovering from the pandemic and hasn't been the same. River valley is an excellent must-see as well, which is free. Etown is a nature lovers paradise. Lots and lots to see all the things that made me fall in love with this city.
We will be back for sure, so we're always open for suggestions for next time! We were there for three weeks, but spent most of the time working, catching up on editing, and hanging out with family. This video was the one day we really got out on our own, and we weren't even sure what to do. Haha. Next time we'd like to get out and explore a bit more.
@@wherearewe-ytI suggest you try to time your next visit with the fringe festival which happens in mid to late August. It's the second largest fringe festival in the world, and largest in North America. You will love it! And it will give you a much different vibe of the city.
What a lovely, peaceful city! And the surrounding area looks beautiful ❤ always wanted to visit Canada but I have a fear of flying lol, great to see you guys enjoy the food 😊 great videos ❤
It's a very chill city! Not too busy. Lots of nice green areas as well! We have a video of Banff coming up next. If anything will make you want to visit Canada, it'll be that video. SO beautiful! It's a shame you're afraid of flying. There's boats, but that'd be a pretty long journey! Haha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
The whole place felt so bizarre. It really did look like it was straight out of the UK..but almost like if it were a part of a film set. Especially since it was smack dab in the middle of two high-rise buildings. Too funny!
@@wherearewe-yt I love seeing stuff like this, English pubs abroad! I think the only thing that was really off about it is that we don't really do booths like in North America! Whenever I travel, I avoid typical Irish pubs but will go to English ones. Went to The Kings Arms in Nürnberg and it weirdly felt kinda like home. Except dustier.
Used to live in Edmonton a few years ago, right downtown. So surprised to see it so dead, it used to be one of the best summer cities in all of Canada, random events, markets, and festivals downtown all summer long, lots of food stalls, and the downtown farmers market (so very sad that's gone). Even with the people that go away for the summers, downtown used to be busy, especially along Jasper Ave (right near the Sherlock Holmes Pub). There was a lot of crime downtown when I lived there, though. A lot of people I know moved out of the city over the last couple of years. Glad you guys had a good time!
A lot of people talk smack about Edmonton, but we actually quite liked it! I'm from Halifax, which is pretty, but the downtown is kind of a joke. Edmonton's downtown is actually quite nice! We were there in May, and it definitely seemed quite empty in most parts. Around the pub there was some action, but once we left that area, it felt quite quiet. We were really looking forward to showing that farmers market. Google lied and said it was open. It was all chained up and completely empty. We had another commenter say there's still a lot of crime. Luckily we didn't experience any of that - but we were only really out during the day.
@@wherearewe-yt I'm glad you liked it! If you get the chance, maybe head back there mid-summer. That's when I remember there being a lot of festivals and things to do downtown. I thought the farmers market started late spring early summer, but they might have changed the date. It's been a few years since I moved away. I hope it's still there, it was wonderful! Also, if you are there in the winter, they have the ice castles which everyone should see, and there is a winter ball that you can get tickets for. Also very nice! :)
The downtown 104 street farmers market is coming back. Their move into the building on 97 was a big flop as we all knew it would be. Unfortunately, because of the new LRT track on 102 the market will be a bit smaller than it used to be.
That makes sense! There were a few areas that were busy, but outside of the core downtown, it was really quiet. Works for us! So much easier to film that way. Hahaha.
Noticed you were curious about tomatoes with that Yorkshire benedict. Tomato's are an (un)common serving with egg dishes. You'll typically find it available at older diners in Ontario at least. I think it's to add some acid to a salty/fatty dish.
Don't get me wrong, we love tomatoes, but it seemed a bit random and out of place. Haha. A little side salad would have made more sense. I would love to try and make this dish at home, but with actual poached eggs to make it like an actual eggs benedict. That would be delicious! We love a super runny yolk. So good! 🥚
@@wherearewe-yt Who cares still a stupid thing to say, especially when you apparently have Ab roots. Do an edit before you post next time dumb dumb. Pretty poor.
Do an edit? You want us to generate a new clip out of thin-air? The text pop up IS an edit. Maybe learn to read? Hahaha. You should probably go back to kindgarden, as you clearly missed out on reading fundamentals. The only thing that stuck with you was grade school insults. "Dumb dumb"? Are you 5? 😂 Get a life.
@@wherearewe-yt Get some talent loser. Or maybe a travel budget so you can actually show the places you visit properly. Maybe you could even visit the museum . . . Poor.
Want to commend yku guys for checking out 118 ave! Just make sore to check out whte ave and area ,124 st and Garneau /U of A area if you want bustle and people !
Love the video! I have been to Edmonton several times but have not had the opportunity to really check it out. Now we have some info of places to go! Thanks for the review! Keep the videos coming! ❤️
We brought some Uncle Ed's back home for everyone to try, and they loved it. Ordered it for themselves after we left! You'll have to try next time for sure.
Kind of spent the entire time in the absolute worst part of the city.. Downtown Edmonton is pretty much a business hub for large corporations. Rarely busy on a weekend during the day and never much of anything interesting going on. Plus it's just dirty in more ways than you would ever think. Outside of that, this video is fairly accurate, even though it only covers a VERY small portion of Edmonton and what Edmonton is as a city.
Which parts of the city would you suggest we visit? You can only cover so much in 20 minutes, and it's hard enough to keep peoples attention for more than a few minutes in a major city with a lot going on, so we weren't quite sure what to show in Edmonton to be honest..haha. We're more than welcome to hear suggestions for next time. As I said, I've got family there, so we'll definitely be back!
@wherearewe-yt the river valley has a massive network of trails, I recommend doing the trail from Terwillegar dog Park to Fort Edmonton park. There's so may good areas to walk around the university area. Anywhere along the river valley is a good walk, good bike trails and there's a tonne of golf courses.
@@wherearewe-yt I get that you guys were trying not to spend a lot of money outside of beer and food, but there are plenty of historical sites that aren't actually in the center of the city. Fort Edmonton Park comes to mind first. Also, the parks around the city are amazing for the most part. And as cliche as it is, we have a pirate ship inside a mall... Oh!! Also the farmers market moved to a warehouse on the south side of the city. It's not a permanent establishment, but it is popular when it's open. I totally get that there is only so much that can fit in a 20 minute video. And I assume that you guys were actually staying close to the city center, so for ease of access, I completely understand. Hopefully next time you get to see some of the nicer things that Edmonton has to offer though!
One thing we didn't get to do when we were there was go out to any craft beer bars. We DID try a lot of local beers from around Alberta at home, but didn't film it. Don't think we had Big Rock, though!
There are tons of empty parking lots in downtown. Downtown is quite dead and outside of office hours I don’t make an effort to head down there and many people don’t either.
Our favourite part of Edmonton was probably exploring the more residential parts. There were some really beautiful neighborhoods around the river. I'm from Halifax, where the downtown isn't the most exciting either. We didn't really know what to expect from downtown Edmonton, but there were some pretty decent spots we found. Some cool coffee shops as well!
@@mercpindi5522depends how much you want to spend and what kind of plans you want to invest in. I think values will go up in all areas. One of the more expensive areas will be old glenora, west of downtown. Least expensive will be north east. The 118 Ave area has the highest crime rate, so I'd avoid that.
That's pretty much what we always do. 😂 Our channel is very much food focused because those are the parts most people want to see. It's also the reason we typically always have food in thumbnails. Food, compared to a lot of museums and attractions, has a far better retention. Thanks for watching! 🍻
We really wanted to! We started to notice them everywhere while we were in Edmonton, but we had already filmed the video. We are going to try it when we come back next time. What do you recommend?
Deadmonton is right. Great video of a place that is otherwise a real dump. There is nothing going on there, the food is overpriced, yet you managed to pull it together and make some content. The breakfast would have required 100k view to break even.
Hahaha. Thanks! I can't imagine we'll break even for ANY of our North America series, to be honest. 😂 The RPM for Edmonton isn't actually too bad. We'd need like, 15-20K to break even for what we spent that day (which ain't happening). Haha. I'm surprised it reached 1000 so soon!
There is nothing going on hey,or you do t like to spend money to do anything. There is plenty going on ,but some people are so full of misery they can go anywhere and still bitching and complaining. Matter what. On the other hand, you can always move.
At 0.21 of the video she's not so exited of being in Edmonton. First stop Sherlock Holm downtown and we will shit all over the food because "Of course UK does it better". Now I love what she says a 3.20. Why again did you come here, family?
Well, yeah, of course the UK does better Yorkshire puddings. They invented them. That's typically how it goes! And we're always honest about the food. Should we lie instead? The pub was great, the food was just okay. Every other place we went that day was better (which we said). Is it your restaurant? Otherwise, why should you care? It has literally nothing to do with the city itself. And she said that because we have a lot of UK viewers, who will likely be watching this..and think exactly that. She wasn't excited because we had just finished filming our first ad a few minutes before - and it took us an hour when we thought it would take 5 minutes because I couldn't for the life of me remember what I was meant to say. 😂
@@wherearewe-yt I just feel you didn't give the city a fair review. No the city is not a Toronto or Vancouver but it has some great places to go. Did you not walk down Whyte Ave or tour West Ed, when visiting a new city do a little research.
@@wherearewe-yt Don't worry guys ,be honest. Edmonton has sooo many good places to eat. Sherlock's is a pub where you grab something to eat while downing pints and singing songs 😂

First stop Sherlock Holm downtown and we will shit all over the food because "Of course UK does it better".
Now I love what she says a 3.20.
Why again did you come here, family?
Well, yeah, of course the UK does better Yorkshire puddings. They invented them. That's typically how it goes! And we're always honest about the food. Should we lie instead? The pub was great, the food was just okay. Every other place we went that day was better (which we said). Is it your restaurant? Otherwise, why should you care? It has literally nothing to do with the city itself.
And she said that because we have a lot of UK viewers, who will likely be watching this..and think exactly that.
She wasn't excited because we had just finished filming our first ad a few minutes before - and it took us an hour when we thought it would take 5 minutes because I couldn't for the life of me remember what I was meant to say. 😂
@@wherearewe-yt I just feel you didn't give the city a fair review. No the city is not a Toronto or Vancouver but it has some great places to go. Did you not walk down Whyte Ave or tour West Ed, when visiting a new city do a little research.
@@wherearewe-yt Don't worry guys ,be honest. Edmonton has sooo many good places to eat. Sherlock's is a pub where you grab something to eat while downing pints and singing songs 😂
@@gp7910 when there is nothing but a river valley to be excited about you better have a good hockey team and good food :P (just a lighthearted jab)
Don't be so sensitive. A good review gives both compliments and criticisms.
