Thanks to Vancouver Foodster, Mr. and I won a contest prize to attend a chocolate workshop at Beta5 Chocolates on Valentine's Day. What a perfect way to spend our evening on this special day! The chocolate event was a lot of fun, and I think it's perfect for couples or birthday parties or even bridal shower. It's a great gift idea for someone who loves and appreciates chocolates. I believe this is the first time that Jess & Adam hosted event of this kind, but I heard they might be doing something like this more often in the future. I definitely recommend others to give this a try - you will enjoy it!
Mexican Wine and Tequila Tasting
Last week we were also graciously invited to attend a wine and tequilla & mezcal tasting at the YEW restaurant + bar at the Four Seasons Hotel. It was a preview of the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Food & Wine Festival on March 22-24, 2012, the only one of its kind in Latin America.
10 Best Foodie Pick-Up Lines
Happy Valentine's Day! In light of this special occasion, I found a list of foodie pick-up lines by Anna Brones at Ecosalon. The original article has a list of 50, but I thought I'd share my 10 favourite ones. Some cheesy, some funny.
February is Apple Month
When I say apples, you may think of the fall season. This mentality should change. Apples, depending on the variety, are now available almost year round - from September/October to somewhere between March and June. In fact, BC Tree Fruits, the largest apple producer of local apples in Western BC, is celebrating Apple Month in February!
[Food Truck] La Brasserie Street
As part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities, a new component called "Street Food City" was introduced this year. It's a gathering of a number of food carts in Vancouver at the Vancouver Art Gallery plaza for just three days during the DOV period. Thankful to have a boss who enjoys food as much as I do, we made a trip down to Street Food City as part of our team building exercise. After checking out all the food carts, we have decided to try La Brasserie Street. My boss actually has tried it before, but he did recommend this cart and said he would have it again. For me, sadly I haven't done my part in visiting all the food carts in town, even though my office is close to many of them, so I was happy to give this a try.
