The 38 Best Restaurants in Calgary, Canada | Eater

"You never quite know when and where chef Kaede Hirooka will be in the city, but as soon as Calgarians catch wind on social media of his next pop-up, they flock to him in droves. Though he’s well known for his funky take on ramen (umami-laden broth filled with homemade noodles and topped with delicious fried chicken), the chef is perhaps most famous for his gyoza-stuffed chicken wings. They are absolutely delicious and, unlike many things in life, truly live up to the hype. Hirooka has also found a lot of success in the grocery realm with his red miso-cured bacon, which can be purchased at a variety of stores in Alberta. [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson
