Here’s an early heads-up on FeastVan, the second annual 17 day dining event involving many of the best restaurants in East Vancouver. From January 18th to February 3rd, local foodies and visitors will be invited to enjoy a selection of specially priced three-course meals (two course meals at lunch) at restaurants like Au Petit Chavignol, The Cascade Room, El Caminos, Habit, Harvest Community Foods, Les Faux Bourgeois, The Parker, Campagnolo Roma, Fray, The Red Wagon, Union Bar, and more.

All of the participating restaurants are going to be donating $1 from every prix fixe supper sold to the Stratchona Community Center’s outstanding Backpack Food Program, which helps to provide food to under-priviledged kids on the DTES and bridge the weekend gaps when school food programs don’t run. Also signed on are the good people at R&B Brewing Co., who will be donating a percentage of every delicious keg of East Side Bitter sold during the event. The cheese lords at Les Amis du FROMAGE will be doing the same for every sale of its kickass macaroni and cheese. It’s a delicious event for a great cause, and Scout is glad to be a part of it again.

If you own or run a restaurant in East Van and would like to get on board to help out, email Joe Chaput at joe [at] buycheese [dotcom] and he’ll tell you everything that you need to know. Scout will be keeping you abreast of all things FeastVan in the run up to January 18th, but in the short term, we kindly ask that you spread this initial good word on Twitter, Facebook, and such.
