Raincity Grill celebrates Pemberton with new 100 Mile tasting menu

2 Comments January 7, 2009

Raincity Grill: North Arm Farm carrot sorbet

I went on assignment for Scout Magazine in December to preview Raincity Grill’s latest 100-mile menu: a toothsome exhibition of Pemberton’s fall harvest.

Catch the details in my article on Scout. Here are excerpts and visuals to whet your appetite:

Nothing gives me greater pleasure at the dinner table than to appreciate local bounty with the very people responsible for its harvest. It was therefore my privilege to dine alongside Anna Helmer of Helmers Organic farm with a small group of food lovers, gathered to discuss eating and growing local and to sample the new, Pemberton-focused “100 mile” tasting menu at Raincity Grill.

Other Pemberton players were profiled on the new 100 mile menu. Pemberton Meadows Beef was wrapped tenderly in verdant savoy cabbage. The produce of North Arm Farm was featured in nearly every course, including a delicate dessert of carrot sorbet, yogurt snow, and fireweed honey meringue.

After this delightful dinner preview, Raincity Grill passed on their finalized tasting menu (see bottom of article) that will run from now until the end of Dine Out Vancouver 2009. Don’t miss this chance to partake in the bounty of the year’s Pemberton harvest.
