GOODS: Dockside Restaurant & Brewing Company Joins The Scout Community

We’ve invited Granville Island’s Dockside Restaurant & Brewing Co. to join our GOODS section as a recommended local company. They are now proud members of Scout, and as such we will be publishing their news on our front page and hosting a page for them in our list of local and independent goodness. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support of our little website!

If you think your business would be a good fit for Scout, we want to know.

January 19, 2011 

The main objective of this website is to scout out and promote the things that make Vancouver such a sweet place to be. We do this with an emphasis on the city’s independent spirit to foster a sense of connectedness within and between our communities, and to introduce our readers to the people who grow and cook our food, play the raddest tunes in our better venues, create our most interesting art, and design everything from what we wear to the spaces we inhabit.

The Scout List is our carefully considered, first rate agenda of super awesome things that we’re either doing, wishing that we could do, or conspiring to do this week. From our calendar to yours… Read more

Food Critic’s Attackers Go Unpunished In New York Court

December 18, 2010 

www.timesunion.comRemember that guy who penned some unkind things about an Albany, NY restaurateur two years ago and had the living daylights subsequently beaten out of him by thugs looking to get paid in free drinks? Neither do I. But he’s understandably a little bummed tonight, as neither of his assailants were punished in court earlier today. Both walked  free without even a massage on the wrist. And what about the restaurateur who allegedly ordered the “hit” on the Mario Batali lookalike? He’s clean too. None of this would amuse me, of course, if it wasn’t for a comment left on Gawker’s coverage of the story…

As for the attack, one can only call it tepid and unadventurous at best. The punches lack any kind of zest or flair and were generally flat and tasteless. A kick to the groin was equally as uninspired and seemed to be missing the richness of earlier ‘nad knockings. A good beat-down is supposed to excite all of the senses, but this attack failed to leave this reviewer wanting more. Two-and-a-half stars.”
