		<description>Moved here from Toronto a couple months ago - and just discovered fellow Calgarian foodies on chowhound...you have great recos!

I do have to say you're right on the money about Calgary being like TO circa 1991 (I moved there from HK in the late 80s), and that Calgary could be tooting its own horn a little louder. Have to admit I was initially surprised with the level of diversity here...I will own up to the fact I was probably an ignorant Torontonian. But nevermind that, because what's important is is the wonderful food that diversity can bring to a city! thanks for acknowledging the fact that the world's 2+ billion "Orientals" deserve more than just a "composite asian blob" label. 

So here's to great food and a fantastic coffee culture here in Calgary! Next time you spot a "visible minority" of "asian" decent at artigiano/bumpy's, holler "Vee" - it might just be me.</description>
