Vancouver is a great place for foodies because we have many restaurateurs who open new restaurants and remove the barriers with different types of cuisines and exciting dishes that are full of unique and exotic flavours.
People should get out of their comfort zone and visit more of the hidden gems that they may not have heard of before. Exploring neighbourhoods is a great way to find new eateries. By broadening views people can enjoy the cultural diversity that our city has to offer. This past year I created an event series called Tasting Plates, which is a chance for people to try something different, including food from restaurants, food trucks, cafés and bakeries in Vancouver. People get the chance to explore a neighbourhood, and taste a variety of dishes.Foodies get to experience some of the newest and tastiest offerings, eat new dishes, visit new restaurants, meet the chefs and meet new friends along the way.
Our food community is fortunate to have many organizations that educate the public. The Growing Chefs charity does fine work educating children in the classrooms. Farm Folk City Folk offers exciting programs and events such as its annual Feast of Fields event. Vancouver Farmers Markets, as well as many other markets, bring the farmers locally grown products to people who are eager to find fresh and great tasting ingredients.
