A little about this place
About The Food Chemist Chinook
The Food Chemist calls itself Calgary's comfort food lab, and this Chinook branch at 156 58 Avenue SW was its first, with a second in Crowfoot. The menu is laid out like a periodic table of more than 120 wing flavours, alongside loaded mac and cheese (honey chicken, butter chicken, fiery chicken), poutines such as Philly steak and meat feast, loaded fries, wraps, quesadillas and thick milkshakes. Portions are large, and the combos can feed a group. The shop is small, with about 16 seats, so many people order ahead or use delivery. It opens daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and halal food accounts have featured it.

What people enjoy
- Mac and cheese, loaded poutines and wings in a huge range of flavours are rich, crispy and full of flavour.
- Portions are big for the price, and a single order often stretches to two meals.
Things to keep in mind
- The shop is tiny, with only a handful of tables, so eating in can feel cramped and takeout is often easier.
