I’m still writing about our Summer Roadtrip 2014<\/a> adventure when we ate our way through the USA and Canada. After one final morning in Saskatoon, we drove on towards Edmonton.<\/p>\n

On Highway 16\/aka Yellowhead, the natural midway point between Saskatoon and Edmonton has always been Lloydminster, which is a city that exists in both Saskatchewan and Alberta, it’s a decent place to fill up on gasoline, and grab a bite to eat.\"Alberta<\/p>\n

The weird thing about Lloydminster is that the Alberta-Saskatchewan border is delineated in the middle of the city, by a series of huge metal posts all the way down the street.<\/p>\n

Vegan options beyond going to a grocery store or Nutter’s Market<\/a> are minimal, and in years past I was limited to wendy’s baked potatoes drenched in hot sauce,\u00a0potato related things, or a smoothie, but on this visit I spotted a Wok Box and we rejoiced – especially since it would be the first time JC had ever visited the wonders of Wok Box.<\/p>\n

Wok Box does exist almost all over Canada (including a few locations in Ontario<\/a> – Oshawa and London), but it’s still mainly a west-west central thing. But they’ve been a vegan-friendly spot since the beginning, and they’ve been transparent about allergies and veg food both on their website<\/a>, and with posters\u00a0up at every location.<\/p>\n

I’m all about the Extra Spicy Dan Dan, with tofu, on udon noodles, and I get the same thing, every time. Be it in Lloydminster, or by gate 58 at the Edmonton International Airport – Post security Domestic-International area<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every time: Dan Dan. Tofu. Udon Noodles. I might be a creature of habit.<\/p>\n

My impression of the location in Lloydminster was really positive. They seemed to be very organized, customer service was fast and friendly, and best of all – they had both vegan food AND free wifi, and for a couple of nerds like us on a roadtrip, some food and wifi time was welcome after a couple of\u00a0hours of driving.<\/p>\n

In a few hours we would be in Edmonton which promised more sightseeing, friends, family, and delicious vegan food. Until next time…<\/p>\n
