TABLE HOPPING columnist Timothy Renshaw (centre) joined CKO Radio’s Roving Gourmets Mike Doodson
(left) and Kevin Moe (right) as guest gourmet on a recent tive review of Cafe Roma. The pasia extravaganza

received raves, both over the airwaves and in today's column, from the trio.

Return to Cafe Roma
was worth the trip

CAFE ROMA, 60 SEMISCH,
NORTH VANCOUVER, 984-0274
THE STRANGE art of restaurant
reviewing has taken a tentative step
beyond the printed medium into
the ballyhoo of radio.

Though newspapers and maga-
zines remain the best sources of
permanent written reference for
the ravenous eating public, the
concept of live chew-by-chew meal
coverage is currently being pio-
neered by ex-News staffer Michael
“Regular Guy’? Doodson.

Along with color man Kevin
Moe, Doodson makes weekly
forays into the culinary jungles of
Vancouver and surrounding com-
munities for CKO Radio. The two
bill themselves -as the Roving
Gourmets, a pair of regular guys
who loudly kick the starch and
finger bowl elitism out of restau-
rant reviewing.

On a recent outing, the digestive

duo invited the News Table Happ-
ing bureau along as a guest
gourmet.

Doodson and Moe, for the
benefit of their listening audience,
wear tuxedos and travel in a white
stretch limousine.

After comparing expense ac-
counts, we directed limo driver
Jerry Thompson to Cafe Roma.

Fast approaching its first birth-

day, the restaurant has managed to
juggle its over 50 varieties of
homemade pasta without bobbling
any of the freshness or diversity of
the original concept. It remains
one of the North Shore's best
pastarias with one of the Lower
Mainland’s most extensive pasta
repertoires.
