The regular four-course restau-
rant review will appear in the next
Table Hopping episode.
SALMON HOUSE ON THE
HILL, 2229 FOLKESTONE WAY,
WEST VANCOUVER, 926-3212.

Salmon House management has
decided to put to public tastebuds
the controversy of farmed salmon
versus wild salmon.

During September, the restau-
rant’s menu is featuring over a
dozen different salmon-based
items ranging from Farm-raised
Salmon en Papillote ($16.95) to
Wild Salmon in Grape Vine leaves
($15.95) to Smoked Salmon
Cheesecake ($4.50) and Smoked
Salmon and Avocado Ice Cream
($3.75).

All are designed fo test argu-
ments for and against farmed and
wild salmon, and perhaps settle,
once and for all, the culinary side
of the controversy.

The salmon-based dessert items
could end up testing the outer
limits of the dessert field.

The Salmon House, which was
recently sold by Nintendo Enter-
tainment to Toseki Entertainment,
is also distributing fact sheets on
both farmed and wild salmon and
asking customers to fill in their
salmon preferences on a survey.

Survey respondents will be eli-
gible to win a weekend fishing trip
for two.

In an unrelated matter, the
Salmon House is helping to orga-
nize a Sept. 22 benefit auction for
the physically disabled.

The event is scheduled to take
place at Vancouver's Science
World starting at 7:30 p.m., and

the first recipient of the funds rais-
ed at the auction will be Darryl
Won.

The Salmon House sous chef
was left a quadriplegic following

an April 1990 car accident. Won is-

highly regarded in the local
restaurant industry, and his misfor-
tune has inspired the entire res-
taurant community to rally to his
support.

Thirty of Vancouver's best res-
taurants will be hosting the Fan-
tasy Food 2000 benefit for Won.

Organizers hope to raise
$100,000.

The B.C. Paraplegic Foundation
has established a Fantasy Food
2000 Trust Fund, and all funds
raised by the project this year will
be placed in the trust to benefit
anyone in the restaurant-food in-
dustry who sustains a disabling in-
jury in the future.

Tickets are $95. Call 926-3225
