Some of the best meals in Metro Vancouver are found in small bakeries, family-run restaurants and unassuming counters near transit stations.

The 54-40 Ocean Pearl lager feels like the kind of collaboration that could only happen here. A legendary Canadian rock band, two South Delta breweries, a song that has lived in people’s memories for decades, and a beer brewed with hops grown just down the road.

Stanley Park feels different at night. The crowds thin out, the trees go dark around the paths, and Malkin Bowl starts to glow like a little secret in the middle of the city.

As someone who spends a lot of time exploring food and drink stories, I am always interested in the people creating experiences that bring communities together. That is one of the reasons I have enjoyed following Flavor Camp and the work of Reece Sims. This month's Bearface BEAR-BON Challenge is a great example of what makes Flavor Camp different.
