The Editor:

I spent the first half of my adult life completely immersed in restaurants. My family had a large chain of restaurants and hotels. All the family was involved. My Uncles and Aunts, and Cousins. Throughout my early life, we ate in our restaurants regularly and we ate at others just as regularly to see what was going on in the industry, and with the competition and because we loved to eat. We discussed food and the business unceasingly. Even before I was old enough to actually have a real job, I would accompany my father to the restaurants and while he busied himself with the endless tasks that are a daily part of restaurant life, I was always put to work helping someone set up for service, whether it was in the kitchen or front of house. As soon as I was old enough to hold a job, I worked in our restaurants and a host of others, quite literally, in every capacity for many years. I grew up in the business. As a result, restaurants – food, service, ambience, hospitality – are in my blood. In my DNA.

Now, I am a technologist. 15 years or so ago I traded in my apron for a keyboard and have never really looked back, other than to ensure that I am still a frequent restaurant patron.

Here on eatvancouver.net is where the two get to meet.

The Reviews:

They will always be well thought out and informative to the reader. Unfortunately, I’m not on an expense account so menu coverage will be limited. So will visits. Reviews are based on no less than two visits, while Quick Bites are usually based on just one.
