I had a note the other day from Robin Coope, who thought it would be a good idea to get folks discussing what their favourite food shopping street is in Vancouver.  Great idea, Robin!<\/p>\n

Except I’m expanding the range beyond Vancouver to the Greater Vancouver area, because I know there are some great food shopping streets in Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and so on.  I’m not<\/em> looking for great restaurant streets…just places where you shop for great ingredients.<\/p>\n

Examples?  Main Street between King Edward and about 28th Ave in Vancouver, for Windsor Meats, a neat little Italian deli, the Lebanese shop for all things Middle Eastern…or what about that stretch of Lonsdale in North Vancouver where all the Iranian shops are gathered?  \"Yaas_bakery_and_supermarket_1860_lonsdal\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

You get the idea, please share  your fave raves.<\/p>\n

Of course there is a prize.  One of the entries will win a ‘Shop with A Chef’ tour, courtesy of Eric Pateman of Edible Vancouver<\/a>, a company that specializes in showing clients the best parts of the British Columbia food scene.  During your tour, you will shop with a top Vancouver chef, then head to his or her restaurant kitchen to cook the ingredients!  It’s a very fitting prize for this particular contest.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to enter.  One, by clicking on the ‘Comments’ link below and typing your entry.  Two, by calling the Early Edition’s Talkback line and recording your entry at 604-662-6690.  Contest closes Friday, May 13th at 6PM PT.  I’ll review the entries and announce the winner on Tuesday, May 17th during my regular appearance at 8:24am on the Early Edition.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
