Another Difficult, Next-To-Impossible ‘Name That Vancouver Restaurant’ Challenge

IMG_8580

by Andrew Morrison | This game challenges Vancouverites to identify local establishments by revealing only a tiny facet of their interiors. It might look impossible, but just watch. There is a group of people out there – ahem, Scout readers – who are so attuned to our food and drink scene that one among them will always get it right.

I’ll chime in when someone gets it right.
