When the Calgary Stampede rolls around in the summer, the city gets treated to a massive variety of wild and crazy foods. Ther's more going on in the city than you'll find at Stampede and you can get a little crazy any time of year. We found some of the best crazy Calgary foods to put on your bucket list and you won't be sorry that you tried them. From insanely decadent drinks to the most giant poutine you've ever seen in your life, Calgary is a foodie paradise.
