This reminds me a bit of the progressive bicycle dinners I used to participate in where we ride bikes to different people's homes where each host has prepared a different part of a meal. The first destination was a stop for appetizers, the next for salad, etc. all the through to dessert and usually a Jacuzzi soak to go with it. Great fun and in your case, a chance to decide which restaurants to return to in the future. PS - You might add a caveat at the beginning of your post. Warning: this post WILL make you hungry!<br />Michele Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736434700971972819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795725678398075458.post-5414747184717837152014-07-24T11:50:46.462-05:002014-07-24T11:50:46.462-05:00I love food tours!

They are such fun way to explore an area, learn about the history and delight in tasty delectables! Canada is on my list of place to visit and Winnipeg looks like a great city to explore! Plus the food you got to taste looked great!

You spoke of food so much that I have to share one of my best - if not THE best - experiences with Caesar salad came from the restaurant in the St. James Hotel. They make their own croutons there, and they are out of this world!<br /><br />Hmm. Now I want to go to Winnipeg again.
