Vancouver Foodster, Richard Wolak has created a new food festival to hightlight Vancouver’s creative chefs and the restaurants that are putting the city on the culinary map. We are fortunate to live in a city which has one of the most exciting culinary scenes in North America, where chefs are passionate about the ingredients that they use, are committed to pushing boundaries and are creating dishes to excite the diners palate, says Wolak, Signature Dishes Festival is a challenge featuring 15 participating Chefs and their Restaurants in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Langley where diners are invited to vote for their favourite dishes, this festival runs until September 30, 2013.
