Update May 7, 2009: Recently moved to NE Alberta between NE 14th and 15th
Location: New location – will update once known.
Description: Heritage. What does that say to you? To me it means old world or something long lost that we need to remember. And that is what I thought when I saw a new cart named Heritage Street Food on the way to get a taco. I had my heart set on a taco that day, but the owner of Heritage Street Food beckoned us over with offerings of a homemade blondie – a light airy brownie. Who can pass up sweets? While we munched on this little morsel, we eyed the menu and he stated he had just made beet ravioli from homegrown beets. He even show us the deep purple pasta to prove it. This engagement and what we saw on the menu was enough for us to give it a whirl.
A couple of us opted for the Cubano sandwich which was chipoltle port, honey ham, swiss, pickles, cilantro, lime may on a panini. It turned out to be on a homemade honey wheat roll that he had baked that morning.
Are you seeing the theme? It appears he has a penchant for making the food truly from scratch. Granted, a lot of food carts do that and that is why we go there. Yet, to get a sandwich with homemade bread – that is a treat. You should see his breakfast special – 10 grain beer pancakes with honey orange syrup. And the beer used is Deschuttes Inversion IPA. I’m not a big fan of pancakes, but I would try those.
Sample Menu:
Cubano Sandwich: $6
Fresh Pasta dishes daily: $6 (veggie options)
10 grain beer pancakes: 2 for $3
Roast Beef Sandwich: $7
Coffee bbq tofu steaks with jicama apple slaw: $7
and deserts…
Hours: Please call for hours.

They haven’t been there either of the two times I’ve gone looking. Do they still exist?
Oh, sorry, yeah, they disappeared soon after I had posted this. Not sure where they ended up. They have a good concept going.
Yes we still exist, just moved. But hoping to return to downtown area soon
