We went to a launch event to celebrate the addition of the "Blue Ribbon Classics" menu to the p2b Bistro and Bar at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside. The "Blue Ribbon Classics" menu is a collection of signature dishes by Eric and Bruce Bromberg, chefs and founders of the famous Blue Ribbon Restaurants. All in all, I think this is a great selection for happy hour or appetizers at an evening gathering. The venue, p2b Bistro, is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows and a Coal Harbour view. It's like a patio seating without having to go outside.

Blue cheese in Mac and Cheese? WHAT? For those of you that don’t like strong cheese, no need to worry. As thick and cheesy the sauce was, I could only detect a slight hint of blue cheese, for all I know I could’ve imagined it. The pasta was cooked just right, despite being scooped out of a warming tray. The meatballs must’ve been from two different batches. One was done perfectly, tender and moist, while the other was just a tad overcooked. Either way the seasoning was pretty spot on.
Eat Vancouver Part 1 – Things I Liked vs Didn’t Like
Last weekend, I sent myself and Mr. to check out Eat! Vancouver 2011. The biggest food consumer show in town, Eat Vancouver attracts visitors in the thousands each day. Except for the Pet Food section, we dropped by almost every booth at the event. If you didn't go to the show, it's actually impossible to tell you everything, so we will give you a glimpse of what you missed.
Arts Club’s Celebrity Chef Cooking Classes ft. Chef Ned Bell
Mr. and I received an invitation to attend one of the Arts Club Theatre's Celebrity Chef Cooking Classes, and it turned out to be one featuring Chef Ned Bell. Chef Bell is the Head Chef of the new Rosewood Hotel Georgia, which is due to open in June. We had a wonderful meal specially prepared by one of the celebrity chefs in town, enjoyed the interaction with Chef Bell and watching him demonstrate throughout the evening.
The Red Lobster Experiment (Lynnwood, WA)
America, the land of the plentiful and home of the obese. A country where the only thing bigger than their stomachs are the size of their portions. This is a manly man’s playground. Enter the Red Lobster.
