It’s the 35th World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) in Daejeon, Korea and Chef Tobias MacDonald from La Belle Auberge is the representative for the Americas. I was honoured to be invited to attend Chef Tobias’ final practice run for his Global Chef’s Menu at La Belle Auberge.

Behind me was the skyline of my beautiful city and on my plate was the rest of the world. It was a refined style and exploration of unique ingredients executed with very subtle and delicate flavours. The flavours were simple, but very finely tuned. It was the work of a passionate chef.

Holy crap! No, not the cereal, but just holy crap. I don’t know how many Mother’s Day restaurant promotions are happening around Vancouver, but my inbox is literally flooded with Mother’s Day menus. It’s the busiest day of the year for restaurants. Follow Me Foodie to Mother’s Day Brunches!

New York is full of award winning delis that claim to have the city’s “best pastrami sandwich”. I asked a handful of trusted New York foodies some of their favourites and Eisenberg was one that came up often along with 2nd Ave Deli. A celebrity favourite in Manhattan.

BC Spot Prawn season officially kicked off yesterday and live ones are available May until June (8 weeks). So where can you find these large, sweet, succulent and delicate yet firm prawns? All over Vancouver! In the foodie world this is equivalent to Christmas.

I really wished I did some previous research because I thought the thing to order was the famous Cuban sandwich. That was only half the equation though and it turns out I missed the “Best Corn on the Cob” in the city. @$#%. Seriously?!

Grocery Showcase West features independent grocers trying to take their products to the next level. Here are some trends I spotted at the show. I don’t really like calling them “trends”, but they are more or less just popular items or new ideas and products in the food scene right now.

Христос Воскрес! It’s a Sunday Night Ukrainian Easter Dinner Series! Chocolate eggs one week and paska (Ukrainian Easter Bread) the next? I’ll be bringing my basket! This is more or less a traditional Ukrainian dinner prepared by the Pazukha’s… how’s that for a last name? Recipes too!
