RE: Steemit Culture Challenge Entry - The ultimate Canadian food.
Hahaha, thanks! That's good that author edited her most. You can't leave out poutine if you're talking about Canadian food.
Nice post :) Have you ever seen the neighborhood watch signs in Toronto that have funny people pasted on them? For example there's one with Bladerunner and another one with Mr. Rogers. There's plenty in Kensington market although I see them around in other places too.
Btw, I did some black and photos on Steemit recently, I know you post those quite often. I found it pretty fun to do. A bit challenging actually because things that look good in colour don't necessarily look good in B&W. They were for a contest and I didn't win but it was fun to participate.
Would not have guessed that Chip trucks originated in Ottawa. I will have to do some research indeed. I feel like if I were to guess they would be from Belgium since there's a big Belgian frites culture and Canada has always been more strict with streetfood. Then I'd assume Montreal for the first Canadian appearance since that's the land of poutine. Haha.
Not necessarily Ottawa for chip truck start-up, but the Ottawa Valley. There was a truck around Renfrew I think that claimed to be the first one!
Looking for something else after I sent you original feedback I came across the 'non-poutine' post, so here it is:

I don't think she's much competition for you as I think she's a compiler rather than a producer of original stuff like you. Still, I can't believe she has so many followers already. Go figure. (Edit: just remembered something a steem friend told me, she probably brought followers with her from another platform!)
I just got top-6 in the most recent #monomad challenge, very pleased. Going to check out your b&w now! Hey, they are good! I use b&w mostly indoors to open up a range of options because colour is often distorted depending on the type and amount of artificial light. But it's often good outdoors to, e.g. to capture the mood of a stark landscape. Just keep experimenting with it. monomad is good to showcase your work because she presents a different challenge every week and gets a lot of excellent contributions.
