Living

It was 2002. I was on the way out the door of the restaurant I was managing (and the industry, more generally), burnt out and full to the brim, frankly speaking, of disdain for the dining audience, myself included.

It's a new month and a new year, which means a fresh buffet of options when it comes to food and drink events in and around Metro Vancouver for the next few weeks.

There’s no shortage of new breweries in the works all over the British Columbia. Here’s a look at some of the ones we’re keeping an eye on for in 2020.

As December winds down and we look back at the last 12 months, it’s safe to say that 2019 was another big year for craft beer in B.C. with 30 new breweries opening across the province.

You can use these cheese and egg waffles as an alternative to bread, pizza dough and dessert

Some Westerners might have trouble wrapping their heads around eating barbeque that’s not dripping with sauce, but it’s a good way to go. Chinese barbeque is quite different from the slather-it-on barbeque of, say, Memphis or many Canadian backyards.

When I moved back to my hometown of North Burnaby a few years ago, it was pretty frustrating to not have close access to Persian food. I mean, Burnaby has a kazillion sush bars (which does make me happy), but I need me some Persian herbs and spices.

Many of these seasonal offerings are limited editions, so if you want a Turducken sandwich or holiday seafood platter, you better get moving (with recipe)

Despite higher grocery prices predicted for 2020, B.C. residents are among the least likely to change their food-buying habits to cut costs, according to a recent survey.

Look, my plan to have a December vacation “seemed” like a good idea at the time. Take a week off and get some errands done so it’s not so crazy during the final days before Christmas and refresh before 2020 kicks into gear.
