🤔 What is MUNCHIES?

Munchies, definition: An intense craving for food that can namely be triggered by the consumption of cannabis products.

Munchies Quest is a citywide food quest celebrating bold, creative cravings.

For one week, restaurants and specialty food shops across Montreal and Winnipeg unleash their most outrageous, indulgent, or unexpected creations — from double-fried Korean pogos and stuffed cookies to neon bagels, birria ramen mashups, and oversized comfort food twists.

This isn’t about one ingredient.
It’s about going bigger, bolder, and more unexpected than usual.

The public explores the city, tries as many Munchies as they can, and votes for their favourites.

🍩 What qualifies as a Munchies dish?

Your Munchies item should feel like your boldest idea of the year.

It must:

• Stand out clearly from your everyday menu
• Feel indulgent, playful, stacked, stuffed, oversized, or visually striking
• Be easy to order and easy to try

It can be sweet or savoury.
New or existing.

If it feels extra — it fits.

🍔 What are examples of Munchies food?

Munchies are bold, over-the-top comfort creations that push beyond the ordinary.

Examples include:

• Double-fried Korean pogos stacked with toppings
• Birria ramen mashups
• Ube soft serve or matcha tiramisu
• Over-the-top stuffed cookies
• Bao sliders with bold flavour twists
• Chili crisp popcorn chicken
• Giant outrageous donut creations
• Loaded, oversized comfort dishes

Sweet or savoury.
Stacked, stuffed, oversized, unexpected.

If it makes people stop and say “I need to try that,” it belongs in Munchies.
