Sure, it sounds delicious, but why exactly did Hudsons Canadian Tap House, a small restaurant chain with locations in Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon, name it the 'Sault Ste. Marie Chicken Salad'?



"We call ourselves 'Canada's Pub' and we wanted to represent the entire country," Hudsons' Director of Marketing Karli Anderson told SooToday.com.



Other Hudsons menu items include Mt. Columbia Nachos, Potlatch Shepherd's Pie (made with P.E.I. red potatoes and Canadian bison), Bob and Doug's Club Sandwich, Henry Hudson's Timberhead Pilsner, the Snowbird Martini, and the Sylvan Lake Sorbet blended cocktail.



"The Sault is a popular Canadian spot, so we named the salad after it," Anderson said. "It just sounded good and it's our most popular salad."



In fact, the Sault Ste. Marie Chicken Salad is so popular that it won a Reader's Choice Award from Edmonton's now defunct See Magazine.



Who knew the Sault was so famous in Western Canada?
