DINER: Lucky’s Doughnuts & 49th Parallel Replacing Kits Coffee Company On 4th Ave

Portrait

by Andrew Morrison | Having just crammed the office full of fresh doughnuts, I remembered that a couple of weeks back we were tipped off by 49th Parallel Coffee Company that they would be shutting down their Kitsilano location in early 2013 and re-opening next door in the old Kits Coffee Company spot (2198 West 4th). If you haven’t already heard, the new joint will come complete with its own Lucky’s Doughnuts, and there was much rejoicing (mmm, fritters topped with applewood smoked bacon). Here’s what that might look like, based on what we’ve seen, sipped and munched on at their Main St. address…

Reverence, Respect, and Realization: What The Acorn Taught Me

At 21 years old, I'm still just a kid and relatively new to working in restaurants, but I grew up umbilically tied to the hospitality industry. My father was a food writer, and my mother is a photographer. Their careers meant that most of my early years were spent in kitchens and dining rooms instead of on playgrounds and soccer fields; consequently, I learned my table manners before I could count past one hundred.
