He’s doing it for a good cause; Mealsharehttp://www.mealshare.ca/city/calgary/. “Mealshare is a organization that partners with different restaurants around the city. The restaurants have certain menu items where if someone buys that meal, they donate a meal to someone in need,” he says.
You don’t have to keep pace with Kyle, but he’s encouraging Calgarians to get out and sample some of the 48 poutines. the fun and feasting launches from the Ship and Anchor on 17 Ave. Saturday at 1p.m.
