Win 2 Tickets to EAT! Vancouver!

by Ed Lau on May 17, 2012

I missed last year’s EAT! Vancouver because of the Canucks Stanley Cup run. Actually, I almost missed it again this year because I come back to Vancouver on June 1st but luckily EAT!, one of Vancouver’s largest food festivals runs from June 1st through 3rd. If you’re a fan of all things edible like the 30,000 people that went last year, then I recommend you check this thing out since there will be a ton of local restaurants, bakeries, wineries, etc with booths, which means you’ll get to try some of the best Vancouver has to offer. Check out their website if you want more info on exhibits, competitions, and what Food Network personalities will be there.

I’ve got two tickets to give away. Of course, you have to be in Vancouver during this time to win. Sorry, the tickets do not include airfare from wherever you are to EAT! Vancouver…they just get you in the door at BC Place.

I don’t like difficult contests so I made this one obscenely easy. To enter to win two tickets to EAT! Vancouver, all you need to do is click a couple of blue buttons.

1. Like EAT! Vancouver’s on Facebook.

2. Like EdEats.com on Facebook.

That’s it! Mightt take 20 seconds or so…more if you actually need to log into Facebook. Since most of you are at work, I assume you’re already logged into Facebook and then, that makes this even easier. Good luck! Draw will be on May 26th, probably at Dot Com Pho! Hope to see you there (I’ll probably be going on the 2nd.).

Lhy Thai

by Ed Lau on May 16, 2012

Hey, I’ve got two tickets to EAT! Vancouver to give away. Want ‘em? Stay tuned to Twitter (@edlau) for details!

Because Richmond is right up against the coast and I happen to live in the furthest possible spot in Richmond from any other city in Metro Vancouver, I will admit there are places in the 604 that I’ve been maybe once in the last five years. Some, maybe once ever. Others…just never, only to be heard of in whispers or books of legend. I pretty much stick to the left side of Boundary most of the time…actually, more like West of Knight since I no longer have to go to the Burnaby campus of BCIT. I think the furthest into Burnaby I had ever been was Hi Genki. Anything further and I have to make sure I’ve got provisions for the journey ahead.

So finding Lhy Thai in a part of Burnaby I previously thought to be a myth was quite a surprise. I didn’t know what to expect since it was quite a hole-in-the-wall, the decor is…um, “rustic” and the member of my group of friends that made the trip on some time off from school had questionable taste in food after…”The Quizno’s Incident”.

Before we get to talking about pho, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that voted for me in Richmond’s 365 Days of Dining. I’m absolutely floored that I received 2400 votes, good for 2nd out of 12 amazing candidates. I’m disappointed I didn’t get the gig but hey, can’t win ‘em all. [...]

If you’re just discovering me now through the magic that is #Richmond365 and 365 Days of Dining, welcome! I thought I should continue to post restaurant reviews and other food related things while we’re going through the voting process. If you think I’m awesome and would make an ideal ambassador for my hometown of Richmond, [...]

Right from the second I saw the trailer for Jiro Dreams of Sushi, I knew it would be the sort of movie I enjoy. However, I avoided seeing it for a few weeks and not just because the only theater in town screening it had seats that feel like sitting on beanbag filled with pudding. [...]

While we’re waiting for the results of Richmond 365, I guess we’re back to business as usual…or unusual. When most people around town think of fried chicken, most will think of places like Church’s or KFC. A few might bring up smaller chains like Lee’s or salt and pepper chicken nuggets from a bubble tea [...]
