Fat Duck Mobile Eatery (Food Truck)

By

The name Fat Duck Mobile Eatery was not inspired by Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck in London, but he knew people would make the association (I did). Olsen decided to call his truck Fat Duck because he simply loves duck, and duck cooked in duck fat (we already agreed on 2 things). Thus his favourite item on his menu is the Duck Confit sandwich (now we agree on 3 things).

Whistler, BC – Staying & Dining at Nita Lake Lodge (Lunch at Cure Lounge & Patio)

By

This intimate boutique hotel is no secret, and it’s ideal for couples or families who want to really relax and getaway. The Nita Lake view is up there along with Rainbow Park, North Arm Farms, and Lost Lake, and if you are not staying here then at least visit for one dining experience.

Whister, BC – Brunch at Aura Restaurant & Fix Cafe at Nita Lake Lodge

By

Stunning. I swear I didn’t alter the photo and I took that picture behind a window with a point and shoot too. I had brunch at Aura restaurant and lunch at Cure Patio which overlooks this view. The view is worth coming for alone and if you are not staying here then at least visit for one dining experience.

Araxi Long Table Series at Lost Lake, Whistler

By

While you can try Araxi at anytime at Whistler Village, their Araxi Long Table Series is a special event. It’s an upscale social and classy lifestyle event more so than it is strictly about the food. They really put the effort to make it more of an experience rather than a simple picnic in the park which you could do on your own.

Johnny’s Pops Food Cart (Gourmet/Artisan Popsicles in Vancouver)

By

Rather than a food truck, Johnny invested in a fully functional bike cart which is one of the very few in Vancouver. Powered by Johnny’s leg power he pedals around the city selling his handmade artisan popsicles made with all natural ingredients and fresh fruit puree. Try the avocado lime popsicle!

Seattle, WA – Crumble & Flake Patisserie

By

Crumble & Flake is opened by Pastry Chef Neil Robertson formerly at MistralKitchen and Seattle’s highly acclaimed fine dining restaurant Canlis. It opened in May last year so the hype and line ups have died down, but not substantially. It is still highly praised and frequented by locals and tourists alike and I’m glad I came after the rave.

Seattle, WA – Joule (Modern Korean Restaurant) – Part 2/2

By

There are Asian flavours, but for the most part it is catered for a Western clientele and palate. I wouldn’t compare it to any traditional Asian restaurant because that’s not what the restaurant is about. The ingredients are local and exotic and the ideas fresh so the menu is inspiring, but just do not expect authentic Asian cuisine.

Seattle, WA – Joule (Modern Korean Restaurant) – Part 1/2

By

A strong backbone and understanding of Korean cuisine and Asian ingredients definitely helps with Joule’s success. The style of the restaurant is supposed to be more like a casual steakhouse showcasing Korea’s love for beef with side dishes and tapas to accompany.
