S4: The Halifax Donair

How did the donair become the official food of Halifax? We find out how it travelled to Canada and transformed after getting here. We learn about its inventor and that famous sweet sauce recipe.

Then, we discover all the good and bad versions of the donair across the country and learn why Edmonton may rival Halifax over its love of this street food.

With guests Omar Mouallem and Lindsay Wickstrom.
