100 MILES WITHIN ONE MILE
Vancouver, BC… Vancouver eagerly awaits the start of Dine Out Vancouver, scheduled from January 19 – February 3, 2008. This year Harry Kambolis and his three restaurants, Raincity Grill, C Restaurant and NU Restaurant & Lounge are offering a very special Dine Out opportunity; 100 Mile Menus at all three venues. Based on the success of Vancouver’s original 100 Mile Menu at Raincity Grill, Kambolis and his team of chefs, led by Robert Clark, have teamed up to present Vancouver with the best of our backyard – Dine Out Vancouver style. Running this popular Vancouver dining event for extra days, Kambolis starts his Dine Out January 11th through until February 12th. And putting local dollars to work, a percentage of sales from C Restaurant will be donated to Growing Chefs! Chefs for Children’s Urban Agriculture, a non-profit organization founded by former C Restaurant pastry Chef Merri Schwartz in 2005, teaching children in grades 1 to 4 about the wonderful ways in which food gets from seed to soil to table.
The 100 Mile Menu began at Raincity Grill in January of 2006 and to mark that date Raincity will celebrate Two Years of 100 Miles this winter. Chef de Cuisine Peter Robertson creates a menu working with local products such as Pitt Meadows Lamb, Gulf Island Shellfish and Agassiz hazelnuts. Looking toward the spring Robertson is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Asparagus, local citrus fruit and even 100 Mile flour. Raincity Grill has dedicated its history to promoting Farm to Table fine dining.
