29 May Eat Better Food: West Oak

"Eat Better Food" is a recurring feature that highlights the amazing restaurants that use Urban Cultivators and Urban Cultivator-grown greens. Vancouver is in a transitional phase right now. Before, it was a city whose restaurants were solely focused on quality food that was imported from abroad. It wanted the best cheeses from France, the best foie gras from Quebec, the juiciest mangos from Mexico. Now, things are changing. While there is still a very real demand for the same quality food, there's also the understanding that we need to support our local farmers. And what has Vancouver learned? That food that's in season and locally sourced actually tastes better. It's the best that farms could possibly offer. This is the very core of Tim Cuff's approach, West Oak's Executive Chef.
