My friend Chris Johns (former food editor of enRoute – read the Scout interview) has put together a pretty bang-on snapshot of Vancouver’s best and most iconic restaurants for the upcoming September issue of Fashion magazine (you can read it here). Given the outlet, the feature is unsurprisingly molto staccato. He does not go into much in the way of detail about the restaurants that turn his well-oiled crank. Nevertheless, the rooms mentioned are each worthy of exceptional note. They are Tojo’s, Chambar, Cafe Medina, Vij’s, Lumiere, DB Bistro Moderne, Go Fish, Nu, Bishop’s, Blue Water Cafe, Market, and the upcoming Corner Suite Bistro De Luxe.

It’s my opinion that Chris Johns has emerged as one of Canada’s finest food writers. His enRoute research alone earned him great stripes.
Now his clean and articulate work this summer for the Globe has confirmed what is lacking elsewhere in modern food reporting, with the obvious exception of Beppi.
Gut a bust, Chris,

When I saw this picture I knew that this great and funny writer had to be related. His grandfather and mine were brothers and he looks just like them. I am writing from south western Ont — original Johns country.
Last time I saw Chris he was visiting Ontario with is parents and sister and had been swimming in Lake Huron. He was about eight years old soaking wet and cold.
Great writer he turned into.
