August marks the return of Raincity Grill’s Annual Tomato Tasting Menu. Diners are sure to be swept away as the culinary team at Raincity celebrates the diverse tastes, colours and textures of B.C.’s freshly ripened tomatoes.
Farm Initiative – Raincity Grill is pleased to announce a new partnership with UBC Farm/Centre For Sustainable Food Development. Raincity’s works hard to incorporate farm specific dishes onto their menu when ever possible. As of August Raincity will be including UBC farm fresh eggs into the mix with the UBC Omelette. Traditionally, UBC does not sell its eggs to the restaurant market as the production level is so low. However, Raincity Chef de Cuisine, Peter Robertson hopes that by purchasing even a small amount of eggs from the farm Raincity will be able to heighten consumers’ awareness about the work that UBC and the farm is doing.
For menu information and other media inquiries please contact Stephanie Jagger at stephanie@taitpr.com or 778-329-6190
Be sure to watch for our September update as Raincity Grill continues to forge a path for local and sustainable farms and fisheries.
