A few weeks ago we told you about Hot Chefs Cool Jazz VI, a fundraiser for Bocuse d'Or Canada and the 2011 team led by Chef Ryan Stone. VanFoodies.com was invited to attend this event, so Mr. and I went and let me tell you, it's quite the privilege to have 30 of BC's top chefs cooking for you at the same spot. So take out your bib and let us walk you through this mouth-watering photo blog post.
Event News: Vancouver Craft Beer Week & Spot Prawn Festival
Would craft beer and spot prawns make a good pair? You will have the opportunity to try them both next week! Vancouver Craft Beer Week: May 10-16; 4th Annual Spot Prawn Festival Kicks Off on May 8.
Diva at the Met
For the first time on VanFoodies.com, all three writers have joined forces to provide you with a full scope of the Dine Out dinner at Diva at the Met. None of us has ever been there before, but we have heard good things about the restaurant. Intrigued by all the praises it receives, despite the recent personnel change in the kitchen (Quang Dang replaced Dino Renaerts as the Executive Chef), I personally was hoping for a treat.
Baru Latino
Mr. and I often eat out at West Coast restaurants and French bistros. To diversify our culinary experience, we took the opportunity to look for something different for Dine Out Vancouver. We decided on Latin American; we chose Baru Latino as per Frank's recommendation list.
Il Giardino Restaurant
My Dine Out Vancouver 2010 kicked off with a location that I've been wanting to go for a few years: Il Giardino, part of the Umberto Group. The advantage of doing DOV with 2 or more people is that you are more likely to try everything on the menu, as restaurants usually offer 3 options for each of the 3 courses. In this case, my parents and I did just that - we ordered one of everything, vegetarian dishes included.
