Smoking cigars, off-roading, shooting, and bear wrestling are just some of the incredibly manly things I do. However, scotch drinker I'm not. When I was invited to a scotch tasting dinner by the good folks from The Macallan, I couldn't pass on the opportunity. How could I say no to James Bond's scotch of choice?
Since our first visit to Edible Canada on Granville Island close to three years ago, it has been added to our list of staple because it has seasonal offerings and quality is consistently good. So for this year's Dine Out, we decided to go back once again because it had an interesting "Canadian" menu. And we made it a double date with Bryan and Kathryn.
This year's Dine Out brought us back to some restaurants that we've been to in the past. Baru Latino was one of them. We checked it out for Dine Out 2010 (when it was held in April to not get in the way of the Winter Games), and six years later we're intrigued to give it another shot. Overall, the dishes were a bit hit and miss at Baru Latino.
Because I take the Canada Line to work everyday, as I exit the Waterfront station I would see the banner sign of the Cannibal Cafe. It's been a couple of months now and I've been expecting a somewhat more permanent fixture by this point. Nonetheless, when they're selling a Groupon, I bought one to give it a try.
For my birthday, Mr. surprised me with a dinner at Supermarine. Since its opening, I've been wanting to check it out so I was very excited when our car pulled up right in front of the restaurant. Supermarine focuses on sustainable, seasonal, local products, highlighting the best that our farmers and fishers can offer. There are a number of staple items on the menu with seasonal dishes as well as daily features.
