Comments on: “Bon Appétit” Does Vancouver’s Food Scene In Three Pages… http://scoutmagazine.ca/2009/07/04/bon-appetit-does-vancouvers-food-scene-in-three-pages/ Vancouver Food And Culture By Andrew Morrison Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:49:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jayhttp://scoutmagazine.ca/2009/07/04/bon-appetit-does-vancouvers-food-scene-in-three-pages/comment-page-1/#comment-2543 Jay Sun, 05 Jul 2009 01:25:54 +0000 http://scoutmagazine.ca/?p=9632#comment-2543 I thought it was lazy writing with really obvious restaurant choices. Can't Bon Appetit do better than review Granville Island? The excessive focus on local food had this underlying skepticism that it could actually taste good. Right - because obviously, if it's produced near Vancouver, it must be mediocre? The smug tone and dismissal of Vancouver's local food love (and urban planning) was insulting overall. It's obvious the writer has no respect or interest in the place he visited. I thought it was lazy writing with really obvious restaurant choices.
