Granville Island Public Market... the name conjures up thoughts of quality artisanal foods. Two of the citys best in the meat biz are there. Armando Bacani started his family-run butcher shop in 1987, and boasts the most extensive variety of meats in the city, from 100% Wagyu beef to bison to elk. You name it, we have it, he says. For his part, Oyama proprietor, Jan van der Lieck, is a fifth-generation charcuterie master, whose signature is the honest pride that comes from performing this time-honoured art. His is a responsibility to provide the people with the best, most natural sausages and patés, and what a job hes doing.
