Exotic cuisine on the fly

Three SAIT grads turn backpacking trip into a reality show
At Burt and Lucy's canteen, the walls are tarps and in place of a floor, uneven sand. There is no electricity, no working lights or refrigeration either. The kitchen prep area is littered with sugar canisters and jugs of vinegars — while white candlesticks stand freely for light.

"I come from an evangelical background, so my story's quite serious," Brower said. "I think that's probably why I put humour into my monologue, so that it was a little easier to approach.
