How the Michelin Star Guide got it so wrong in Vancouver!

Рет қаралды 91,814

Жыл бұрын

Vancouver is an amazing place with great places to visit and even better places to eat! Really love this city; born and raised here and hope you get a chance to visit. It was a nice surprise when the Michelin Star Guide decided to cover Vancouver, but I think the folks there got a few places wrong... Luckily and in my opinion, they were errors of exclusion rather than errors of inclusion.
I hope to correct these wrongs and the best way I know how, is to do it in person and with some friends! Really grateful that you can join as we explore some of Vancouver's finest places from the delicious seafoods to the warm and comforting Vietnamese Bone Marrow Pho, which I think is the best I've ever had.
Join me as we explore Vancouver Best Happy Hour spot at the @fannybayoystersoysterbar2472 with oysters and wine and caviar... then we can enjoy a a warm and comforting bowl of Pho along with a massive fragrant Chicken Rice; a Vietnamese speciality from the great folks at Linh Cafe

With the exception of Michelin Bib Gourmand, in order to have an actual star with Michelin, it seems like it's not the food that matters but whether your portions are small and appealing to the eye and whether you use foam and at the same time have a good wine list.

Tim: Thanks for another top notch Van City vid. That chicken rice and pho looked amazing. I hope I can trouble you with a few questions as I am a big food nerd: 1) What is the condiment in the gravy boat seen at 17:43? Did it come with the chicken rice as a condiment specifically for it? Also, I noticed they brought out other gravy boats with condiments with the chicken rice - what were they if you recall? 2) Are their pho noodles fresh or dried if you recall? If fresh, do they make them in-house?

I also thought Michelin got it wrong and would have been happy if your choices made it in. I also thought Straight and Marrow should have had a nod. And more Cantonese food, but it has to be right in the city, so maybe Chef's Choice or Sun Sui Wah as a place that has been doing good dim sum for ages.
