What does a chef cook for his mom on Mother’s Day?
Chef JC Poirier will be making his mom’s favourites for Mother’s Day lunch at Chow.
Vancouver, BC – This Mother’s Day, Chef JC Poirier will be serving a very special Mother’s Day lunch featuring creations that his own mother approves of. Chow will be open for it’s first Mother’s Day lunch May 11th from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.
Mrs. Poirier adheres to a healthy diet rich in grains and vegetables, so her son’s yogurt panna cotta with granola and fruit salad, as well as his grilled asparagus salad with marinated mushrooms, sauce gribiche, and Parmesan with crispy breadcrumbs, are among her favourites.

Hanna Brooks Farm organic greens.
Mother’s Day at Chow means fresh, organic, and most importantly, already mom approved.
