I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked “what’s your favourite restaurant?” and my answer is simple. I don’t have one. For me, when all is said and done it comes down to the food, so I follow the chef more so than the restaurant, and in this case I follow Chef Hamid Salimian.

I’m a huge fan of exploring street food in every new place I visit. It tells me a lot about their food culture. To really get a taste of what a city has to offer, you have to go across the board and experience high and “low” end dining and everything in between. Follow Me Foodie to New York Street Food!
The Quinto Quarto menu featured all types of offal (innards and organs of an animal) which I am no stranger to. Honestly I think this menu barely scratched the surface of what this chef is really capable of, but I’m glad I had at least a taste of what it could be.

It was my last Alaskan King Crab meal of the season so I decided to have it at Kalok. It’s not a bad place, but it’s just very average. Many of the dishes I’ve had better elsewhere and it just seemed like a homestyle approach to Chinese cooking, but not in that “authentic” way.

It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi… and so does Mijune (which is me by the way – hi!). It’s apparently one of the places to go for sushi in West Vancouver, so I decided to give it a try. It serves traditional sushi and modern Japanese izakaya, but It didn’t deliver to expectations and I found it quite overpriced.

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.
