The “You’ve Picked a Damn Good Spot” title isn’t bought, bartered, or sponsored — it’s earned. I give it only to restaurants that go above and beyond what’s typical in Calgary’s food scene. That means spots delivering exceptional value, consistency, originality, and an experience worth talking about. No one can pay for this recognition, and there’s no subscription or hidden deal behind it. If a place has the title, it’s because I genuinely believe it stands out as one of the best — and you can trust it’s there for all the right reasons.
