News from Scout supporter Fuel

BC’s bounty gets the spotlight all year long at Fuel Restaurant with the 12 Months of BC, showcasing fresh new features, menus & special dinners happening every month. For the month of August Chef Robert Belcham and his culinary crew are featuring Chilliwack Corn, and Robert’s famous chilled corn soup. This sweet corn is picked from Chilliwack farms in the morning, and delivered that same afternoon, ultra fresh.

Robert’s chilled corn soup is made by lightly heating juice that is made from corn flesh. Up to five ears of corn are used for each serving. The juice is whisked until it thickens, chilled and served ice cold. This sweet, refreshing soup tastes like mouthfuls of fresh corn. Popular amongst Fuel diners, one regular guest is known to come in, order a double corn soup, and sometimes finish with one for dessert!

Fuel will showcase three feature corn dishes for the month of August:

Chilled Chilliwack Sweet Corn Soup ($12 – available for lunch and dinner)
red haven peach, crispy cornbread, foie gras mousse

Seared Qualicum Beach Scallops ($31 – available for dinner only)
sweet corn succotash, avocado, crispy pork belly

Spiced Manjari Chocolate Pot de Crème (10 – available for lunch and dinner)
corn sorbet, churros, dolce de leche
