I moved to Vancouver because I wanted to be a chef at a small, independent and respectable restaurant that cared about its products, and not just a big box restaurant with premade shit. I’ve taken a large pay cut over what I could have been making if I chose to do that, and it was WELL worth it. If Vancouver loses those options it destroys a huge part of the culture here and what makes this city special.
That goes far beyond restaurants, but of course that’s the part that’s most important to me.

I’ve been actively trying to avoid spending money on more frivolous shit (ie. a new BBQ although I could def use one) in order to spend disposable income at local restaurants and shops.
We’ve also held off on ordering things online and have been waiting for them to come back in stock locally at places like gourmet wharehouse etc.
Unfortunately I really don’t think the general public realizes how much these small business and restaurants rely on consistent support. Especially restys that had virtually no take out prior to this
Hopefully your place comes out of this on the other end westopher and we can come and support it.
