5 Questions for Eating In Vancouver:

 

If you could encapsulate Vancouver in 1 restaurant dish, what would it be?

The dish obviously has to include local sustainable ingredients with an Asian influence. Let’s choose Japanese since there seems to be (sometimes authentic) sushi restaurants on every corner in Vancouver. How about Qualicum Island diver caught chopped scallop roll made with organic rice?

 

What BC food or drink product can you not live without?

Definitely BC’s fantastic fresh seafood and produce, specifically Haida Gwaii halibut and freshly picked raspberries from the Saanich Peninsula. But something you really learn to appreciate when you travel so much, especially to the tropics, is Vancouver Island’s pristine tap water!

 

If you could change 1 thing about Vancouver’s food scene, what would it be?

Better service.

 

If you had $5 in your pocket, where would you grab lunch in Vancouver?

What first comes to mind is a quick bowl of pho, or banh mi from a little hole-in-the-wall like Viet Sub Vietnamese Cuisine on Robson.

 

What would be your last meal on earth before a zombie apocalypse?

It’s way too difficult to pick just one. But if we must, then Chef Royer’s incredible 10-course artisan meal at JAAN restaurant in Singapore. It’s to die for.
