BC had its own “judgement” last year.<br> We remember with DK Kearney and surprise winners Chris Jentsch and Amber Jones at CC Jentsch. <br> THE SHOW <br> Nathan Fong – Fong on Food and the best patios in Vancouver <br> My challenge to Nathan was simple..after it stops RAINING where are the best patios for dining, seeing and being seen?<br> Here’s Nathan’s response<br> “For me, most patios places are always packed and buzzing during the summer. It’s the time to be seen and alfresco dining is in!<br> Food and service are always in my top tier…atmosphere, locations and views to me are secondary, nice but not as important as the food that comes out on the plate.<br> Sure, it’s always great to see the athletic and buff passer-bys rollerblading or jogging on the seawall (such as Ancora, Beach Bay or Provence) or the glorious sunsets from the Coal Harbour Cactus Club or The Teahouse at Ferguson Point, but as you said before, there’s so many places that take the location for granted and the food takes a step down. It’s still important no matter where the location is.”<br> Nathan Fong is a Vancouver born chef who is an award-winning food stylist, an accomplished food & travel journalist and founder of Fong on Food. His love for food is a family trait that has been the drive behind his work, although he wouldn’t call it a ‘job’ or ‘work’.<br> In the business since 1989, Nathan is a pioneer in preparing food for photography and film. He developed many of the mouth watering techniques used by food stylists today. It is important to Nathan for the food to look as good in media as it does in person.<br> For Nathan, travel and food go hand in hand. His drive and passion for travel stems from his desire to expand his palate and share this with others. Explore the world of food through Nathan’s eyes and share in his experiences.<br> Personally, I think the awards say it all <br> <br> * Former Director, IACP (Int’l Ass’n of Culinary Professionals)<br> * Founder and Chair, Passions for The Dr Peter AIDS Foundation<br> * Honorary Director, The Dr Peter AIDS Foundation<br> * Travel Media Assoc of Canada (BC Board)<br> * IACP Award of Excellence (Foodstyling)<br> * GlobalTV<br> * ShawTV<br> * The Vancouver Sun<br> * Taste Magazine, contributing editor<br> * International Taste and Travel Magazine, contributing editor<br> * Boulevard Magazine, Food and Travel<br> * Canadian Traveler<br> * <a href="http://www.fongonfood.com">www.fongonfood.com</a><br> * twitter: fongonfood<br> <br> June is World Pride Month – To celebrate we mix Absolut Rainbow with bartenders Kaitlyn Stewart (Royal Dinette) and Terence Lowe (Keefer Bar-Fountainhead Pub) <br><br> Just in time for World Pride Month in June,
