Eat-Vancouver

Every year, the Eat-Vancouver event is held at BC Stadium for three tasty filled days! This year, they added a Pet section and BBQ section (outside). Jas, Kay and I headed out there around 3:00 pm because we wanted to catch Tojo and Rob Feenie on the celebrity stage. They both demostrated three recipes and did an excellent job. Rob Feenie is a bit of a diva, he was 45 minutes late for his show and he ran 10 minutes over his designated time (the chefs had 30 minute time slots). But worth every minute of it! He is a very charismatic person with a huge personality, he knows how to work his crowd. And he's an IRON CHEF :) Making Vancouver and BC proud :)
Every time I go to this show, I always pick up a lot of different kinds of sauces and yummy stuff. Sometimes, I can get stuff that is not even available in stores just yet. Also, it's amazing how much you save on all the items. I spent probably about 40 dollars yesterday and picked up some great stuff. I got the Green Tea for $1.00 / bottle, 3 Indian sauces for $5.00, Basil & Garlic dressing for $5.00, 3 bags of chips for $5.00, 100% pure kiwi juice for $5.00 (I think this is the best one yet! I can imagine how much it will cost at Choices), a hot sauce for $5.00 and East Indian package (includes all spices) for $5.00! I am now set to have dinner parties!! :) I really love the kiwi juice and the Green Tea with honey. It was a good day :)
