Vancouver’s Food Scene Written Up By Chris Johns For “Fashion”
August 19, 2009
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.
Q&A With Food Writer Chris Johns
March 28, 2009
This is the 37th interview of what will eventually amount to 500 profiles of people who have made life in BC that much more interesting. At the rate we’re going it’ll take three years, at which time we’ll probably just start shooting for 1,000.
Once or twice a week Scout poses 60 questions to a different individual. They pick and choose which ones they’d prefer to answer, with a minimum response rate of 20. It’s some sort of Rorschach test, for sure…
Chris Johns is one of our favourite Canadian food writers. You can often find his work in Macleans, enRoute, The Globe & Mail, Vancouver Magazine, and many other publications. Read more
