Style vs. Substance – The Aurelia III

by Colter Jones 04.01.2012

No matter how much you spend on the rest of your home, every party that you hold will begin and end in the kitchen. This is not unlike the espresso machine, which is a natural talking point where customers gather around swapping stories while eagerly anticipating deliciousness.
At a point we have to realize that a [...]

Green Table 2.0 Launches

by Rick Green 03.29.2012

Since then, more than 100 operations have joined the Green Table Network to develop and implement tailored sustainability plans. As a result of that experience, GTN has [...]

Pizzeria Barbarella

by Canucklehead 03.29.2012

Not that many moons ago – people in Vancouver were pining away for good pizza. Even Seattle, with Serious Pie and Delancey were killing us in the pizza department. How could the Economist say that we were the best place in the world to live, when our pizza was so completely shitty?
Well, [...]

Beer Review: Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale

by Jacob Galbraith 03.27.2012

It comes in a pink bottle, lays claim to the adored flavour combination of maple and bacon, and affiliates itself with a semi famous Portland doughnut shop, and yet I’m not surprised at all. This is, after all, Rogue, a brewery that toes the line between being famous for quality and being experimental. A younger [...]

Made in House, Smoked in House, Baked in House

by Rick Green 03.26.2012

What began for Tyson Reimer and Ryan Murfitt as a search for space to house a smoker, has grown into a project that brings to mind aspects of the proposed New City Market food hub. Woodland Smokehouse & Commissary offers professional chefs & food artisans the capability to produce, package, and sell fine food products.

Book Recommendation: “Empires of Food: Feast, Famine, and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations”

by paulkamon 03.25.2012

Every once in a while a book comes along and changes the way you think, evolving your perspective and understanding of the world to another level. My recent reading of “Empires of Food: Feast, Famine, and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations” did just that. Acting as a potent historical analysis of the human species [...]

Blind Tasting Review: Joel Gott Riesling 2009

by Sheila Whittaker 03.22.2012

Blind tasting reviews are a fun game to play with restaurant sommeliers and wine nerds across town. I pour a glass from a mystery bottle and ask them to review it blind.  By not knowing what the wine is or who represents it, hopefully, an honest-no-bs-review is achieved.
Come inside and read the review of our [...]

Real Regional Cuisine of the Deep South

by Canucklehead 03.21.2012

On a recent trip to the US South, I got to try out some of the what the locals love to eat. But let’s face it – for all of my obsessions over organic and seasonal foods, the vast majority of Americans are more interested in local restaurant chains. And their loyalties are [...]

Beer Review: Elysian Idiot Sauvin IPA

by Jacob Galbraith 03.15.2012

The Pacific Northwest brewing scene is notorious for its use of hops. The region produces beers of all styles, but the most saturated of them all is the India Pale Ale. Elysian’s Idiot Sauvin IPA provides an interesting twist, in that it makes a point of pushing one variety into the spotlight as a means [...]

Vancouver’s First Cycling Café “Musette” Opens on Burrard

by Colter Jones 03.13.2012

Celeste green is now the official colour of a spandex safe zone. The iconic colour of Bianchi bicycles is featured throughout Musette, Vancouver’s first cycling café, which opened this week at 1262 Burrard Street. The location is just off of Davie and Burrard but it’s a bit tricky to find because they are located in [...]
