Day Trip

Food for your day trip usually ends up stuffed into a backpack, so sturdiness, weight, and messiness are all important factors. Perishability can be important depending on weather and time. Day trip food should also be hearty and truly delicious, to make it a motivator to get to your destination by lunch.

Welcome to Dirty Gourmet!

We are three women who came together after a bike tour across Canada and years of camp life to rethink food in the outdoors. We believe that food should be as much a part of the experience as the activities, location, and five star views.
