Edmonton's Fork Fest is in full swing, and if you've been looking to try out a new local restaurant, now's the time (until January 26th)! Participating restaurants are offering full multi-course meals and specialty menus for a set price of either $25 or $45.

The foodie hot spots this week include the Royal Coach Dining Room at the Chateau Louis Hotel, A Cappella Catering, Accent Restaurant & Lounge, The Blue Pear Restaurant, Blue Plate Diner, Jack's Grill, Parkallen Restaurant (fine Lebanese cuisine), Sabor Divino Restaurant, Wild Tangerine, and lastly, D'Lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar, which I highly recommend (see their Fork Fest menu here).

D'Lish (pictured) is owned and operated by Avenue Magazine Top 40 Under 40 honouree and YWCA Women of Distinction Award winner Amanda Babichuk, who's d'Lishious life motto is "Groove. Taste. Sip. Love." I'll take a dose of that.
