On a Monday evening, I checked out the Vancouver Christmas Market with my coworkers. In its second year, the Vancouver Christmas Market is modelled after the German Christmas Market. Located at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza, you will find Christmas gifts, craft goods, a giant Carousel (which I forgot to take a picture of) and of course, food and drinks. Here's a quick take of what I had while I was there.
Event Recap: Take a Bite benefiting the Take a Hike Foundation
Last week Mr. and I had the opportunity to attend a fundraising event called Take a Bite. Hosted by the Tuesday Night Food and Run Club, it's a foodie event to raise awareness for the Take a Hike – Youth at Risk Foundation. Two local chefs, Trevor Bird from MARKET at Shangri-La and Leah Gamache from Chambar Restaurant, put together the evening's menu and volunteer theirs and their helpers' time for this event.
Lonsdale Quay Market Taste Tour & Contest Winners Announced
For five days in October, the Lonsdale Quay Market ran a food and beverage festival called Savour. Honestly, we don't go to the North Shore very often because we live in the suburbs, so we don't know Lonsdale Quay very well. Since the Savour event was free for public to attend, Mr. and I took the opportunity to explore the market.
Upcoming Tasty Movie Events
The longer we're in the blogging community, the more interesting things we find out about our city. Recently we received two media releases about two different events in November. Both are food-related movie events, but they're also movie-related food events. Essentially, you are treated to a culinary experience while watching food-related movies. How fun!
Prestons – A Taste of the Fall Menu
Joyce and I attended the media launch event at Prestons for its fall menu -- my first food blogger-type event. Socializing and Lisa equals: out of comfort zone plus awkward, which also equals to complete social misfit. Nevertheless, still had a good time, met some really cool people, some really flamboyant people, and a couple of drinks.
