I was excited to read on VanFoodies.com about the “The Cooking with BC’s Best Dinner Series” put on by Edible BC. These events are offered a couple times a month, offering exclusive access to some of BC’s leading chefs. The dinners are held in the Granville Island Market after hours, which is really cool if you ask me. Many of the events are booked up now, but there is still a lot of choice. Dinner costs $89 for most events, and as Frank at VanFoodies points out, it is like a high-end version of the Irish Heather’s Long Table Series.
