Songhees Food Truck

Serving Up Resilience: Indigenous Chefs Preserve Native Foodways—and Create New Ones | Bon Appétit

"A Victoria-based food truck run by Gary Henry of the Pauquachin band that draws on intergenerational teachings and global Indigenous influences to create West Coast–forward street food. Dishes reflect family traditions (memories of octopus cooked in a single pot) and rooftop-garden produce, with highlights such as a West Coast Shrimp Taco topped with stinging nettle sour cream and the 656 Burger—wild sockeye salmon with house-grown greens on fresh bannock. The truck celebrates cultural continuity in both flavor and presentation, even featuring a giant octopus painted on its side." - ByRebecca Thomas
