Missing the Taste of Home? Here’s How We’re Bringing it to Calgary

Missing the Taste of Home? Here’s How We’re Bringing it to Calgary

When I moved to Calgary as a kid, I quickly learned that finding a taste of home wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. Growing up here, my mom’s kitchen was always where I felt most connected to my roots. The smell of her Jollof or chicken stew brought me right back to Nigeria, and it was the highlight of every family gathering.

But as I got older, I noticed how tough it was for so many of us to find food that truly tastes like home. Trying to find dishes that hit that same comfort spot—without the high cost or long wait times—was nearly impossible. And restaurant versions just didn’t have the same magic.

That’s why I started The BRDGE. It’s not just about food; it’s about helping people reconnect with their culture. We partner with chefs who know exactly what it’s like to crave that real, homemade flavor. Our goal? To bring that experience to everyone who feels the same longing for a taste of home.
