Item No. 14.1.1 Halifax Regional Council

December 8, 2015

TO: Mayor Savage and Members of Halifax Regional Council SUBMITTED BY:

Richard Butts, Chief Administrative Officer Mike Labrecque, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer DATE: 20 November 2015 SUBJECT: Donair – Official Food

ORIGIN Motion of the October 20, 2015 meeting of Halifax Regional Council, item 11.5.5, as follows:

That Halifax Regional Council request a staff report to consider approving the donair as the Official Food of Halifax Regional Municipality.

LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY Halifax Regional Municipality Charter (“HRM Charter”), subsections 58(1) (2) (3)(4): 58 (1) The Council shall make decisions in the exercise of its powers and duties by resolution, by policy or by by-law. (2) The Council may exercise any of its powers and duties by resolution unless a policy or a by-law is required by an enactment. (3) The Council may exercise by by-law any of the duties and powers that it may exercise by resolution or policy. (4) The Council may exercise by policy any of the duties and powers that it may exercise by resolution. RECOMMENDATION Staff has no recommendation. If Council wishes to proceed, a member of Council may move that Halifax Regional Council authorize and direct that the Mayor make a proclamation declaring the donair the official food of Halifax.

Donair – Official Food Council Report - 2 - December 8, 2015 BACKGROUND On October 20 2015 Regional Council requested a staff report to consider approving the donair as the official food of Halifax Regional Municipality. Council discussion on October 20, 2015 described the donair as an iconic and unique food in this region which may warrant special status. As highlighted in the material accompanying the original motion, many sources cite the donair as Halifax’s official food however there has been no formal designation by the municipality to this effect. Staff has attached this material to this report for Council’s reference. The motion and the donair generally has garnered significant media interest. Attached is a select list of media articles on the donair. Some orders of government have defined procedures in place to identify official status. For example, in the Province of Nova Scotia, official statuses of various kinds are proclaimed as an Act of the Legislature and confirmed in provincial legislation; such as:

the Official Tree Act declaring the red spruce (Picea rubens) to be the arboreal emblem of the Province;

the Provincial Fossil Act declaring the reptile fossil Hylonomus lyelli to be the Provincial Fossil of the Province,

the Provincial Horse Act declaring the Sable Island Horse as the Provincial Horse of the Province; and

the Provincial Dog Act declaring the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever as the Provincial Dog of the Province.

By convention, the Mayor may make proclamations. A proclamation is effectively a notice made by the Mayor. It serves the purpose of highlighting a cause/ topic or identifying a special occasion. A proclamation has no effect in law. DISCUSSION In the absence of detailed staff analysis, including consideration of supporting processes to identify and evaluate other official foods or other official features, staff would not put forward a recommendation for a proclamation. It is at Council’s discretion to direct a proclamation by the Mayor. There is nothing to prevent Regional Council from recognizing the donair and drawing attention to it by directing the Mayor to make a proclamation declaring the donair the official food of Halifax. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications resulting from this report. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT None ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS None ALTERNATIVES

1. Maintain status quo

Subject: Donair: Official food of Halifax Regional Municipality

Motion for Council to Consider: Halifax Regional Council request a staff report to consider approving the Donair as the Official Food of Halifax Regional Municipality

Reason: The Donair is Halifax’s most unique and famous delicacy. The recipe for the Donair was founded by Peter Gamalakos. He opened Halifax’s first Donair shop, The King of Donair on Quinpool Road in 1973. The Donair was a staple food item for families and students in the area. It has since become an iconic food and symbol of Halifax Regional Municipality and Nova Scotia. The Province of Nova Scotia has advertised the Donair across Canada to attract tourism and the Downtown Halifax Business Commission has used it to promote downtown Halifax. Visitors come to Halifax to experience their first Donair. The Donair has brought recognition to Halifax unlike any other food. Examples of where it has been noted:

- National Geographic’s World Best Cities - Numerous versions of Air Canada’s EnRoute Magazines - Halifax Magazine - Halifax Herald - CNN’s Anthony Bourdain sought out a Donair and ate one while attending the opening

ceremonies at the 2013 Devour Foodfest - President’s Choice Insider’s Report - The Food Network’s Great Canadian Cookbook - Roger’s TV shows and promotion for the 2015 Blue Jays team. - The former Daily News named it Number two in its listing of Seven Wonders of Halifax,

behind Citadel Hill - Described in the Globe & Mail - Classified’s music video - Culturetrip.com – Donair is one of Canada’s Eight National Dishes

[Report Title] Council Report - 2 - [Meeting Date]

Discussion: The Donair is made of heavily spiced ground beef that is shaped into a large loaf and roasted on a vertical rotisserie, then shaved and seared on a flat top range. The meat is placed on a thin, Lebanese-style pita and topped with tomatoes, raw onions and a sauce. The Donair Sauce is an addictively sweet blend of evaporated milk, vinegar, garlic powder and sugar. The sandwich is wrapped in tinfoil and eaten out of hand. The Donair’s unique blend of spicy meat and sweet sauce has brought recognition for Halifax unlike any other food. Many magazines, websites and articles cite the Donair as Halifax’s official food; however, we do not have this specific designation. In the summer of 2015 Edmonton Council was looking into designating their food and articles mentioned that some Edmontonians wanted the Donair as their official food, but noted that Halifax already has the Donair as our official food. The Donair was invented in Halifax Regional Municipality and we need to make this official.

Outcome Sought: It has been 42 years since the Donair was invented and it has become an important part of Halifax Regional Municipality’s culture and identity. “The donair is to Halifax what the banh mi is to Saigon, the jambon-beurre to Paris. It is a quintessential Haligonian gastronomic experience, as East Coast as Jiggs dinner.” The Globe & Mail* In addition to these Cities, others are known for their foods such as Philapelphia for the cheesesteak, and Chicago for its deep dish pizza, The Donair should be proclaimed as Halifax’s official food. *Halifax’s donair: The tastiest treat you have probably never heard of - SIMON THIBAULT, Special to The Globe and Mail, Published Wednesday, Jun. 13, 2012 6:06PM EDT

Famous chef puts delicacy on list of must-try foods

Yes, Anthony Bourdain has heard of donairs.

And the man who makes his living travelling the globe and eating strange foods can’t wait to fly one.

“I don’t think I’m going to get a chance to have one this time, but actually irs No. 1 on my list. And I’m not joking at alt” said the hoof Parts Unknown on CNN and The Taste on ABC.

9 look for unique foods, unique to the region. It is your most famous, it’s the signature dish ... like the New York dirty water hotdogWe love it, we don’t apologize for it. Wien we do a show in this area, (a donair) will probably be the first thing we go for.”

Bourdain was in WolMile on Wednesday to help kick off Devour! The Food Film Pest. Dressed in black except for low-cut canvassneakers with no laces, he mingled at the festival’s opening gala and sampled the wares from a dozen local chefs.

“Eating a lot of food, a lot of food,” he said in between nibbling and posing when his lecture manager asked how he was doing

Many of the chefs asked him to sign books or pose for photos, but Marc Gabrieau of Gabrieau’s Bistro in Antigonish was less fazegreeting him with How ya doin’, buddy?” and handing him a plate of lamb sweetbreads and chorizo gumbo, which Bourdain ateand then said “Whoa!”

He also singled out for praise chef Mark Gray of Halifax’s Brooklyn Warehouse, who served rabbit in a pig blanket a dish Bourdaiidescribed as “bat-crap crazy.”

His TV shows have produced several episodes in Canada, but this was his first visit to the Maritimes, though he imported lots offood from Nova Scotia when he was a New York chef.

“I’m familiar with some of the history, with the Acadian diaspora. I’m very familiar with a lot of the products, a lot of seafood, a lot 0shellfish over the years, mussels, oysters, a lot of fish.”

“I’m often drunk when I tweet,” he said, drawing a big laugh at the festival opening news conference. ‘if a restaurant is having a badday, I’m not going to tweet-shame them. I don’t like to tweet negative things, because people get hurt, so in that respect I try to beresponsible.”

Asked what has made him most proud during his varied career, he mentioned a recent show he did in Iran, and his fathering skills

tfW.W$i A1MAWHalifax’s donair: The tastiest treat you have probablynever heard of

SIMON THIBAULTSpecial to The Globe and MailPublished Wednesday. Jun 13, 2012 606PM EDTLast updated Thursday Jun 1420123 12PM EDT

There is a ritual that happens every weekend in downtown Halifax. It starts around 2 in themorning, when bars start to close and throngs of people congregate at the downtownintersection of Blowers and Grafton Streets, better known as Pizza Corner. They seek slices ofpizza, subs and, above all else, donairs.

The donair is to Halifax what the bunli nil is to Saigon, thejanthon-beurre to Paris. It is aquintessential Haligonian gastronomic experience, as East Coast as Jiggs dinner. Best eaten lateat night and on the street, it is a sweet and savouw, tasty and messy snack for meat lovers. For along time, it was something you rarely found outside of the East Coast, save for poor imitationsand pretenders.

To the uninitiated, the donair is intimidating. First, there is donair meat, heavily spiced groundbeef that’s shaped into a large loaf and roasted on a spit, then shaved and seared on a flat toprange. The meat is placed on a thin, Lebanese-style pita and topped with tomatoes and rawonions. The donair sauce is an addictively sweet blend of evaporated milk, vinegar, garlicpowder and sugar. The sandwich is wrapped in tinfoil and eaten out of hand. Kind of. Ac the pitahas a tendency to sop up the juices and sauces, making the bread fall apart, donairs are besteaten over a cardboard plate and as far away from your body as possible.

The history of the donair is a little murb’. Its predecessor, the doner kebab, was made in the19505 by the owner of a Turkish kehab house in Berlin. The Greek adaptation, the gno, soonfollowed, and it was this ‘ersion that Peter and John Karnoulakos tried to introduce toBluenosers during the late 19605 at their small restaruant in Bedford, N.S. The brothers soonfound, however, that Nova Scotians weren’t so fond of lamb served with a yogurt-based sauce.They ditched the lamb for beef and crafted the distinctive sweet sauce, creating something quitsremoved from shawarma and kebab.

Today, there’s a restaurant chain named after donairs and almost every pizza place sells them,Chinese takeout joints serve donair egg rolls. Ontario-based chain Pizza Pizza had a donairrecipe created for them when the branched out to Atlantic Canada.

IIaiitax S aonair: I he lasliest treat you have probably never heard of- The Globe and Mail Page 2 of 8

Outside of the Maritimes, nostalgic diners have to be resourceful to get their fix. Food-basedmessage hoards are filled with questions about where to find “authentic” donairs. And somehave taken matters into their own hands, fine-tuning recipes until they get the right mix. Forinstance, Glen Petitpas, a Hawaii-based Haligonian astronomer and computer engineer, gaineda global following for posting detailed recipes on his website, using insider knowledge from afriend at a well-known Halifax donair joint.

The search for donairs outside of the Maritimes is getting easier, In Milton find Burlington,Ont., there’s a small chain called Halifax Donair and Pizza. In Calgaiy, Jimmy’s A&A offers aversion. And in Toronto you can find it on the Danforth in a little place called The Fuzz Box.Owner and chef Neil Dominey, who hails from Bendck, N.S., was tired of his cravings goingunfulfilled. “I tried to different donair recipes,” he says. “Some didn’t have enough paprika ororegano, but I combined a few recipes to get what I wanted.” His dedication to the creation ofthe perfect donair does not mean that he is a purist. He serves his donairs with Greek, ratherthan Lebanese pitas. ‘Customers love it,” he says. “They prefer it, as the thing holds together,but I do keep the Lebanese on hand, just in case someone asks.”

On the othcr side of town, Hopgood’s Foodliner is also serving them, albeit a slightly upscaleversion, adding a bit of pork in the mixture and folding them like tacos. Chef Geoff Hopgood, aBluenoser himself, sells about 400 of donairs a week. “They’re tasty, grimy, fun and nostalgic forme,” he says. “They can be the perfect snack food with a can of Labatt 50.”

Man)’ argue, however, that they are best experienced back East, preferably late at night, isith ahankering for something greasy, sweet and meaty. Oh, and as for eating them? There is anunspoken code among donair diners. No one ever looks good eating them, so no one judges you,even if you do have sauce drizzling down your chin. Just give’er.

East Coast wrap stars: Toronto getscollectively obsessed with the Halifax-style donairJON SUFRIN

Canadian food is disgusting As a nation we are stoically proud of this fact Few countries are as talented at taking grossfood and making it even more gross than [was previously We think tomato juice should have clam juice mixed into itOur French fries come drenched in gravy, with cheese curds that squeak And when a pita wrap is put into the hands ofa Nova Scotian, it ends up drowned in a sauce that’s so sweet it simply deOes common sense.

Until recently, many Torontonians were unaware that Nova Scotia had a distinctive take on the gyro (or, if you’re Turkishthe doner kebab or, if you re Arab, the shawarma) known variously as an East Coast donair, a Hatifax donair or a NovaScotia donair. This food is as Canadian as poutine and equally as obnoxious

The East Coast donair is what happens when you take some pita bread put meat on it (usually beet) and apply toomuch of a sauce made from evaporated or condensed milk Add some chopped onions and tomatoes Do not addtabbouleh pickled beets or tzatziki

Historical accounts of the donair are fuzzy One version contends that they were invented in the ‘70s by brothers Peterand John Kamoutakos They had been trying to sell standard lamb-based gyros, but pitas stuffed with meat andyogourt were somehow not as easy to sell as pitas stuffed with meat and yucky-yummy white sauce The new sweet-

Driginally from Albania Musa doesn’t centre his business around these donairs. but they are here for 56 99 a pop He’ssecretive about how they re made (this much is certain the beef is cooked on a spit), but the sauce is sweet enough tobe considered sufficiently obscene which is really all that matters Toppings are optional tomatoes. red onionstabbouleh or lettuce and, yes, it’s all packed inside a regular thin pita, which Muss says absorbs the sauce better

Musa’s donair is noticeably different than Domlney’s or Hopgoods built hits the same notes, so any debate about‘authenticity’ is mostly Irrelevant Musa also makes a tastier If less substantial. donair than Dominey

Now that the secret’s out — that pita wraps can indeed be made to suit the irreverent Canadian palate — East Costdonairs are bound to start popping up all over the place And although that may be bad news for healthy digestive tractsit’s certainly good news for the hangover afflicted

Green onion cakes proposed as City of Edmonton’s official dish Page 1 of 3

Green onion cakes proposed as City of Edmonton’s official dish

By: Stephanie Dubois Metro. Published on Thu Dec 052013

They’re circular, they’re edible and green onion cakes are Edmonton’s unofficial dish of choice,according to one Edmontonian.

Salma Kaida has been working hard at convincing locals the deep-fried food has become a stapleat local festivals and restaurants much like Quebec’s poutine dish and Halifax’s donair claim.

With a blog and a Make Something Edmonton web post dedicated solely to the dish, Kaida wantsto make it official.

“There’s something about green onion cakes and this city that really get along,” she said.

Green onion cakes aren’t native to Edmonton and as explained by Royal Alberta Museum (RAM)officials, the popular dish is a traditional northern Chinese food. It was first brought to Edmonton inthe 1980s after the city saw an influx of Chinese immigrants, many of which came from northernparts of the country,

One of those immigrants decided to open up a restaurant and after needing a supplementalincome, he started making green onion cakes at festivals, said museum officials. Since then, ithas become a popular food staple at many local festivals such as Taste of Edmonton andEdmonton Lnternational Fringe Festival.

STEPHANIE Du9OISMETRO

Kien Ngo, staff member at Pagolac Restaurant on 97 Street. says green onion cakes are ordered daily bycustomers

Although certain dishes may he identified as “Canadian” due to the ingredients used or the origin allis inception. an overarching styleof Canadian cuisine is more difficult to define. Some Canadians such as the former Canadian prime minister Joe Clark believe thatCanadian cuisine is a collage of dishes from the cuisines of other cultures. Clark himself has been paraphrased to have noted: “Canada

has a cuisine of cuisines. Not astes pot, but a smorgasbord,.W

Some have sought to define Canadian cuisine along the line olhow Claus Meyer defined Nordic cuisine in Ins 1 lunifestofor the aWn’aVordjc Kitchen; namely that dishes in Canadian cuisine should reflect Canadian seasons, that the) should use locally sourced

ingredients that thrive in the Canadian climate, and that they are combined with good taste and health in mindi Others believe thatCanadian cuisine is still in the process of being defined from the cuisines of the numerous cultures that have influenced it and that

being a culture of many cultures. Canada and its cuisine is less about a particular dish but rather hou the ingredients are combinedi
