The event, hosted by Downtown Kelowna, is a one-day eating contest. People can walk from restaurant to restaurant, eating food and getting check marks on their event card passport.
Downtown Kelowna said that if you ate at a different place in downtown Kelowna for every meal, you wouldn’t eat at the same place for over a month.
