A BUMPER crop of Jocal restaurant news has necessitated
a change of Table Hopping pace. A tossed salad of local
restaurant and food iterns will, for this week, replace the
meat and potatoes of the regular restaurant critique.

AMBLESIDE INN RES-
1495) MARINE
VANCOUVER,

THE
TAURANT,
DRIVE, WEST
922-0101

The West Vancouver restau:
rant’s head chef Frank Mafttiman
was one Of a select few Lower
Mainland chefs who literally
displayed their culinary talents in at
recent Edible Art exhibition at the
Grace Gallery on Granville Island.

The exhibition was part of what
was billed as ‘‘$1 million worth of
chef talent’' displayed at the
gallery to help launch Famous
British Columbia Restau, ints,
1987-88, a new book by food critic
Bill Clark.

Mattman’s June 8 Edible Art
entry, Chicken Supreme with
Papayas, will be one of the recipes
featured in Clark’s book, which is
scheduled to be published in inid-
July.

Clark says his book will feature
only what he considers to be the
finest B.C. restaurants whose
kitchens use only fresh ingredients
for all food preparations and use
no MSG, frozen meats, food col-
orings., preservatives or micro-
waves.

In addition to the Ambleside
Inn, West Vancouver's Chesa and
North Vancouver's Corsi Trattoria
were also selected by Clark for his
book.

“For the size of the community
the North Shore did very well,”
Clark said. ‘‘People over there ob-
viously care about what they are
doing with food.”

He said that 99 per cent of the
restaurants tested for the book
were eliminated. In all, 400 restau-
rants in the Vancouver area were
assessed and asked to fill in
Clark’s 150-question question-
naire. Over 600 restaurants around
B.C. were contacted by the author,

Road-tested recipes, restaurant

menus and restaurant culinary tps
will be included in the book. Res-
tuurants featured will be rated by
STa4rs.

“What fo owas looking for.”
Clark said, ‘twere restaurants with
owners Who obviously cared about
the customer as a person, not just
as a dollar sign.”

Clark’s first book on B.C. res-
taurants, JO) Menus for tal

Nights, was published in 1967,
