Arriving in Sudbury for the latest leg of our Halifax to Winnipeg food trip, I scoured the internet and studied numerous menus online, finally picking out a place that seemed perfect for a dinner and a blog post. Unfortunately, when we finally found it, it was closed. Neither Corey or myself have ever been to this town and we began driving around, searching for something that would jump out at us as we drove by. That didn't happen for quite a while, until, just when we were about to give up, we found The Peddlers Pub. It was a local spot filled with happy guests and an extremely welcoming bartender. When we are at a new place, we will ask the staff what we should eat, especially if I haven't studied the menu online (which anyone who has dined with me can tell you, I do regularly). She suggested what we should drink and eat and made our early evening dinner a really relaxing experience after a long day of driving. We had a Guinness and the new Keiths Cider, which she prompted us to order, and which may just be my patio drink of the summer. As we relaxed into our chairs our pub food arrived. She said the deep fried pickles, dry ribs and wings were the appetizer choices that would never disappoint, and she was right. Although I love diving into different foods and culinary treats, I also love the occasional pub food experience, especially when it is prepared properly. Sometimes when you are travelling, you end up in unexpected locations and find them to be among the most memorable parts of the adventure.
