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. The Bromberg Brothers are known as the “Chefs to the Chefs” for their culinary excellence and chef clientele in their New York and Las Vegas restaurants, and they were recently named 2011 “Best Restaurateur” finalists by the James Beard Association.

So what makes this even more special? Vancouver is the only Canadian city selected for this Blue Ribbon-Renaissance partnership!

At this event we got to try every dish and cocktail featured on this menu. Here is the list:

Blue Ribbon Bites

“Northern Fried” Chicken Wings
Grilled Chicken Burger
Smoked Salmon Toast
Manchego and Mexican Honey Toast
Sauteed Calamari
White Bean Hummus Toast
Grilled Cheese Panini
Fried Rock Shrimp

Blue Ribbon Cocktails

Hummingbird
Michelada
