Food lovers who missed dining inside Winnipeg’s eatery on ice will have a second chance this winter.

RAW:almond, the pop-up restaurant built at the confluence of the frozen Assiniboine and Red rivers last January, is priming for another three-week run in early 2014.

“I’m pumped but I’m not going to lie to you, I’m nervous too,” said Mandel Hitzer, chef and co-creator of the event.



This year’s edition runs Jan. 24 to Feb. 13 and includes: a guest chef from Calgary; a bigger dining room that seats 30; a new tasting bar for 10; weekend brunches; and surprise visual arts screenings projected on the tent.
