Three weeks ago, I had the opportunity to Skype with Bob Blumer and learn more about the new show World’s Weirdest Restaurants. Last week, I also received the invitation to check out its pop-up restaurant at the Waldorf Hotel.

In case you didn’t know, I’m a huge Food Network fan. So when I heard that there’s a new show called “World’s Weirdest Restaurants” starting on April 4, I was pretty excited about it. And when I learned that I could interview with the host Bob Blumer, who is the host of “Surreal Gourmet” and “Glutton for Punishment”, there was no reason to turn it down. Via Skype, let’s hear from Bob more about the show.
Fundraising Dinner at H.A.V.E. Cafe
Posted in By Invitations, Cafe, Culinary Events, Dinner, Joyce, News, Vancouver, tagged Alex Chen, Bocuse d'Or, Bocuse d'Or Canada, fundraiser, H.A.V.E. Cafe, Project 374 on March 7, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
H.A.V.E. Cafe is the store front of a culinary training program that is designed to provide the community with skills training and opportunities for employment. The acronym stands for Hope, Action, Values and Ethics. Through work, I had the pleasure to attend its very first fundraising dinner last week. This year they’ve kicked off a fundraising initiative called “Project 374″ to raise fund for renovations and the upkeep for the school. The cafe will also be renamed to Cafe 374 soon. Why 374? The cafe/culinary school is located at 374 Powell Street, Vancouver. Chef Alex Chen, who will be representing Canada in Bocuse d’Or in Lyon in 2013, put together the menu for the evening. Chef Alex’s dishes were basically a new take on the classics.
