[News] $125K Grant Program to Support Vancouver Restaurants in Launching Delivery Concepts

I am excited to be a part of the NBRHD Restaurant Development Program, initiated by REEF Technology, to help Vancouver restaurants launch a delivery business. The restaurant industry has been hit hard this past year due to COVID, and many have turned to delivery and other innovative ways to keep their business afloat. This private grant money will provide some relief to a few restaurants, and perhaps help expand, preserve, or resurrect some beloved culinary concepts from going under and be lost forever.

I was looking up savoury recipes to prepare grapes, and I came across a roasted grapes and brussels sprouts recipe. What a clever idea! I kept on reading a number of similar recipes and adapted to create the following, with an Asian twist by adding Chinese sausage.
