That’s a great thread Canada really has an underrated food scene. I noticed a lot of people mentioning local specialties, but it’s also interesting how travelers still look for familiar, budget-friendly options in between trying new dishes. When I was planning meals on a trip, checking menus with prices ahead of time helped a lot, something like Jack in the Box Menu with Prices Deals & Combos Updated 2026 gives that idea of planning smart without overspending while traveling.
