Once again we present our weekly Food Media Omnibus, a collection of all the local food writer’s most recent works in print. Enjoy…

——————————————————————————

In the Vancouver Sun, Joanne Sasvari reviews Fishworks on the North Shore and Shannon Kwantes enjoys South Surrey’s new “Tap”.

In the Westender, I check out Mis Trucos on the Davie strip.

In the Globe & Mail, Alexandra Gill returns to review Coal Harbour’s Irashai Grill.

In the Georgia Straight, Judith Lane points out some great lunch spots (I’m dying to test drive Cru for lunch).

In the Vancouver Courier, Tim Pawsey dishes on wine label art.

The West End’s infamous Maxine’s Hideaway is destined for the wrecking ball to make room for apartments. Sniff. It’s an interesting read – full of ghosts, whores, tunnels, gangsters, and sugar magnates.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s travel editor pays Vancouver a visit, dines at Stepho’s (WTF).

The National Post tries to steer young chefs into “casual fine dining” chains. Er…don’t.

In the North Shore News, Deana Lancaster sizes up C Food, the new cookbook from C Restaurant, and Mangia with Quattro, the new cookbook from Quattro.
