T
he joy of eating is understood
by cultures the world over.
Tasting something never before
experienced can be transformative,
forever changing the way we think
about food. For some of us, we
even pick our places to vacay based
on what there is to eat when we get
there! Is there a vibrant restaurant
scene? What are the indigenous
regional ingredients? What is it
going to cost? Fortunately for Peg
city residents, we have it all!
This magazine is obsessed with
fi nding the bests of absolutely
everything. The best ingredients,
check, comfort foods, check, dim
sum, cheffy creations and, well you
get the picture. Start at the back
of the magazine and you’ll fi nd
our best list organized by cuisine,
offering editors’ choice picks of
Winnipeg’s best restaurants.
For traditionalists who like to
read from the front, see the latest
openings in ciao! news, a run-
down of the season’s festivals and
other fun events highlighted in the
summer calendar.
Beyond previews and reviews,
this issue gives attention to per-
haps one of the most universally
loved food groups, ice cream!
We also go inthekitchen with
four chefs, who share recipes for
signature dishes. Trust us, they are
keepers!
This special travel issue of Ciao!
celebrates the relationship between
food and travel and is sure to whet
appetites for a road trip. This year
we head north to the lakeside town
of Gimli and picturesque Hecla
Island, and some fun places to
discover along the way.
Whether a local or a visitor,
enjoy the summer, and let this be
your guide that enriches every
experience!
