Incoming Holiday PR Wave

François makes his mark with the new Teahouse menu; Chinese Restaurant Awards, Diner’s Choice winners announced; Two Chefs Poplar Grove Wine Drinker Dinner set for December 2nd; Naramata Inn’s Heirloom Spa holiday open house; Portfolio gifting ideas from Laughing Stock; Holiday happenings at Hart House; Chef Wayne Martin of Fraîche debuts Heirloom Catering; JoieFarm wines now available for sale online; Holidays at Q4;

(Vancouver, BC, Canada) – For over 30 years, Teahouse Restaurant has been defined by its breathtaking location in Stanley Park. Today, that’s about to change as new Executive Chef François Gagnon releases his new menu ( click here to view menu ).

Since joining the Sequoia Company of Restaurants to head up the team at the Teahouse, Gagnon has completely reinvented the cuisine. According to Gagnon, “The new menu has a distinct, ‘classic bistro’ feel with dishes like Cassoulet, Roasted Sablefish and Steak and Frites. I wanted to build a menu that was primarily bistro; one which would allow traditional dishes to stand out and let the ingredients speak for themselves.” Other menu highlights include: Qualicum Beach Scallops and the AAA Tenderloin. “Even though we have created an entirely new menu,” says Gagnon, “We did keep some Ferguson Point classics like the Carrot Soup with Crème Fraîche to keep the tradition going.”

To say that Gagnon comes to the Teahouse with an impressive resume is an understatement. First apprenticing with François Rousseau in Quebec, Gagnon made the jump to France where he trained under acclaimed chef Joel Garault, of Hotel Hermitage as well as Roger Verger of Le Moulin de Mougins. Since then, he’s never looked back. In 2002 he began working with Rob Feenie, both at Lumiere as Chef de Partie and at Feenie’s as Chef de Cuisine. Soon after he made his mark at Blue Water Cafe as Executive Sous Chef alongside Frank Pabst and most recently he was Executive Chef at Cin Cin Ristorante . Says Gagnon, “The opportunity to be at the Teahouse is unlike anything I’ve experienced in my career. This is an exciting time, I feel it’s my kitchen to do what I want.”

According to Sequoia Group of Restaurants, bringing in Gagnon as the new Executive Chef was the “final piece” of the Teahouse re-branding, which began in May 2009. To celebrate they will be lighting up the Teahouse and going all out for the festive season. Other upcoming events where Gagnon can show off his new menu include the launch event of Senator Larry Campbell’s new book A Thousand Dreams and a children’s Christmas breakfast for the Canucks Autism Network.

Located at Ferguson Point in Stanley Park, the Teahouse began operations in 1979. Boasting fresh local ingredients and classic bistro cuisine, the Teahouse is known for comfortable, simple dining… as well as the best views in the city.

CHINESE RESTAURANT AWARDS, DINER’S CHOICE WINNERS ANNOUNCED

(Vancouver, BC) – Who says that the Canadian electorate is apathetic? Perhaps they just need something meaningful for vote for? Apathy was nowhere in evidence with voting for the second annual HSBC Diners’ Choice Awards. More than 9,300 votes were cast in 15 award categories. Good food, good taste and the art of dining well are very important topics in cuisine-crazy Metro Vancouver. We take eating very seriously.

The HSBC Diners’ Choice Awards are one of two components of the Edgewater Casino Chinese Restaurant Awards . The other is the Critics’ Choice Signature Dish Awards which will be announced at a gala event scheduled to take place following the 2010 Olympics.

“Good food is an essential element of Chinese culture,” says Critics’ Panel Chair Stephanie Yuen. “The freshness of ingredients, balance of flavours, and subtlety of dishes are all hotly debated topics amongst Asian diners. It is no surprise to us that the Chinese community embraced the CRA so enthusiastically, but we are thrilled that mainstream society is also passionately involved in voting for their favourite restaurants.”

Many of the winning restaurants are to be found in Richmond. In fact 56 percent of the winners come from Richmond with Alexandra Road being a hotbed of culinary excellence – six winners come from that one street! For true Chinese cuisine cognoscenti, Richmond is a Mecca for the best dining in Metro Vancouver. “There is such a strong Asian restaurant culture in Richmond that it is no surprise to us that many of the winners are to be found there,” comments Ms. Yuen. “Now that the Canada Line is running, it is even easier for people from Vancouver to come and explore Richmond’s rich culinary offerings.”

The HSBC Diners’ Choice Awards included 15 categories with Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards in each. See the attached list for the full list of winners. “The best thing about the Diners’ Choice Awards is that it encourages people to get out and try somewhere new, so everyone wins in the end.” click here to view the winners list

The CRA wishes to thank the following partners who make the Awards possible: Edgewater Casino, HSBC Bank Canada, Mercedes-Benz, Tourism Richmond, CBC TV and Radio, China Eastern Airlines, Heineken, Underwater Harvesters Association, Georgia Straight, CHMB AM1320, Ming Pao, World Journal, Klip Magazine, 818Channel, Edible-Britishcolumbia.com, Westca.com, Aperture Photography, Chinese Canadian Chefs Association and the Vancouver Multicultural Society.

TWO CHEFS POPLAR GROVE WINE DRINKER DINNER SET FOR DECEMBER 2ND

Two Chefs and a Table is pleased to announce the next in its series of Wine Drinker Dinners to be held December 2nd in partnership with the award-winning Poplar Grove Winery.

Located on the slopes of the Naramata Bench, just outside Penticton, Poplar Grove Winery began as a quintessential garage winery in 1993. Over the last two years, Poplar Grove has entered an era of re-invention, moving from an artisan winery to a world-class winery with 150 acres of new vineyards under cultivation.

Paired with signature selections from Poplar Grove Winery and their second label Monster Vineyards, December’s menu will not only focus on fall flavours and local ingredients, such as Polderside Duck, but will include course which feature Poplar Grove Blue Cheese.

For this dinner in the Vancouver’s darkest, stormiest season, chefs Karl Gregg and Allan Bosomworth have created dishes that perfectly combine robust textures and traditional winter ingredients with subtle flavours and classic preparations to satisfy the soul and please the palate.

The Wine Drinker Dinner is $65 per person (tax and gratuity not included). As always, reservations are recommended. Email info@twochefsandatable.com or call 778-233-1303 to secure your table.

Amuse Bouche In time for the busy holiday season, Martin has opened a new catering program to appeal to busy gastronomes. Led by chef Martin and Andrew Sward, former Culinary Capers catering manager, the new catering service is sure to be a great success.

Heirloom Catering offers a variety of options for stress-free entertaining for either relaxed or upscale fetes and private gatherings. Heirloom Catering is also able to cater larger events at venues like the West Vancouver Community Centre or the UBC Boathouse in Richmond.

Aside from creating memorable private events, Heirloom Catering also caters breakfast and lunch to businesses and board meetings, entertaining clients and staff alike while still keeping up productivity. Either at the office or on the town, Heirloom Catering can answer any culinary dilemma.

After 15 years honing his craft in the esteemed kitchens of Four Seasons Hotels around the world, Martin opened Crave on Main in 2004, Fraîche in 2008, and Crave Beachside in 2008. Martin also spreads his culinary philosophies through shows like the recent Vancouver Home & Interior Design Show in October and in November Cornucopia Whistler’s Food & Wine Festival where he partnered with Road 13 Vineyards and winemaker Michael Bartier to present a sumptuous luncheon at a private home.

Sward is a natural to lead the catering efforts for Martin. Sward’s team showcased exceptional cuisine at the 2006 Olympic and Paralympic Games and he was the general manager of Fraiche. Now he is the catering liaison for all three restaurants under the umbrella of Heirloom Catering, and his proven team delivers remarkable results.

To discuss catering for your upcoming event, please contact Andrew Sward at 604.319.5027 or email andrew.sward@heirloomcatering.ca

Want An Business Web Design? Bradford Is A Great Place To Find One

You want to start an online business but you don’t know the first thing about starting a website let alone managing an e-commerce business. What about advertising, such as driving traffic to your site? Who is going to manage all of this? Your business plans have the ability to be successful, you just need some knowhow on making a website and getting it into the public arena. Don’t worry, there are many others out there just like you. They have the idea for their business but they let someone else do the web work for them. These business owners usually end up turning to a website design and hosting company.

For the best in web design, Bradford and the surrounding area is full of award-winning digital agencies and design companies.

A website design and hosting company will design your website for you according to your specifications. They can also help you to advertise your business and services through the internet by using Pay Per Click and SEO. The website design and hosting company makes it easy to run your business without having to know the first thing about computers and website design.

When deciding on the website design company you are going to go with, do your research. Do not pick the first digital agency you come across just because it is easier. They should be able to show you some examples of their work for other clients so you can get a feel of their creativity. An agency might claim to be really good but their work has to stand up to these boasts. You need to know what to look for and you need to know how to weed out the good website design and hosting companies from the bad.

Take into consideration some of the following factors to decide if their websites are as good as they say. What is the website like to use? What is the colour scheme like? Can you move around the different pages of the website easily? Most importantly, when looking at examples of the company’s work, does it make you want to buy the product they’re offering? When it comes to selling things online, this is the most important factor.
