Vancouver's restaurant scene.

On the one hand we have chefs and restaurants trying to source food locally, with attention paid to sustainability and quality. With preference where possible to organic foods, or those that have the least amount of chemical additives or preservatives.

On the other hand we have restaurants where food source and local ingredients do not feature.  Who knows where all the mystery meat and seafood even comes from, or the conditions it is raised in.  Is it chemical or preservative free? Is the food presented  even the item advertised?

But hey, let the secret continue by  loading  it in a pot and covering  it with secret sauce.

Your choice, but as a diner, I am just going to say no thank you to secret food.
