Reception Menu Tasting = SUCCESS!
I had been told the food at the Vancouver Convention Centre was good but it really was FANTASTIC! This weekend, my mom and I were treated to the Chef’s Table, an opportunity to taste the buffet menu Allan and I had selected. We were not disappointed! We sampled salads, a gorgeous seafood platter, yummy chicken, spinach ravioli and my personal favourite … carved striploin cooked to exactly how I like it! The chef came and chatted with us as we went through each course with wine pairings and a very attentive waiter on hand. We learned that the kitchen is a scratch kitchen so they everything is created there … well, from scratch – INCLUDING the truffles! No freezing! They know exactly what goes into each dish! The Convention Centre also tries to buy local as much as possible and organic in many cases. So wedding guests … I highly recommend … COME HUNGRY! And be sure to grab prawns from the cold seafood platter, the free range chicken, and some carved beef!
Now, I’m even more excited than I was before! And then, I’ll probably have to wait to be the last table up to the buffet…
