The Plan
The four of us will travel across the Trans-Canada Highway and document/rate every chipstand along the way (and of course, order an abundance of fries). Our journey will be captured and be turned into a six-episode documentary web-series.
The Journey
For weeks, we ate nothing but potatoes and gravy... and survived to tell you about it. We also met many chipstand owners who were happy to be a part of our crazy adventure.
With hours of footage, we narrowed down our fry-eating tour into consumable episodes, available online for all to see.

The Results
The series went from being featured on printed newspapers, radio shows, and live television…

… to sending us to Ottawa and having a poutine picnic with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The Aftermath
5 years after our journey, we teamed up with Toronto breweries and hosted pop-up events under our Trans-Canada Fryway banner, sharing our knowledge by making our own fries with homemade gravy and fresh cheese curds. Deliciousness for all!
