Look who’s Breaking Bread for a great cause — our pal and man-about-town Josh Boettcher (aka @itsjosheats), giving some love to @best_kind_bakeshop and its push for @movember.

For every one of these delicious sourdough ‘staches ordered, the East Vancouver bakery will donate a dollar to the charity, which is dedicated to addressing and advancing men’s health issues.

Go get yourself a handlebar today and show your support for a worthy cause.

With new restrictions in effect in various provinces across the country in the midst of a rising second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to give a shout-out to all of the small and independent businesses that are negotiating lockdowns, breakdowns and all associated roadblocks on one rocky road to recovery.

If Charles Darwin were around today, he’d no doubt be proud of the amazing examples of adaptability being demonstrated by staff and patrons of cafes, restaurants, breweries, wineries and more that continue to roll up their sleeves, put their shoulder to the wheel and go above and beyond to show their support for one another.

Out here in BC, a new two-week lockdown is in effect as the Province tries to stem the tide of rising COVID-19 cases in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Valley Health regions.

You and your ‘pod’ are still encouraged to dine in at restaurants in both of these regions as well as all around the province, but if you have any hesitation, we still encourage you to show your support for small and independent restaurants by ordering takeout or picking up from your favourite spot in the neighbourhood, where the health and safety of guests and staff remain top priority.

Check out our website for all of the options that exist — from dine-in, takeout, delivery, meal kits, heated patios and more.
