What’s Good This Week March 12 Edition

What To Do Around Vancouver This Week

We’ve been busy traveling and then catching up from traveling, so our posts have been rather infrequent of late. Life and work balance is always a challenge and sometimes I just get exhausted trying to keep up. Hopefully this sunshine will motivate me to get back in the groove, and there’s certainly a lot of reasons to get out this week and I’ll be doing so!

Greasy Spoon Diner Vol. 37 Featuring Chef Charlotte Langley March 19 5:30pm and 8pm

Benefiting The Better Life Foundation

The Greasy Spoon Diner Supper Series is truly one of a kind. It pairs the best chefs in the world with the legendary Save On Meats to create a monthly four-course dining experience. Chefs trade in their tweezers for tongs, creating four courses inspired by diner food.
The meal is paired with cocktails made by award-winning bartenders, as well as craft beer and wine. The best part: it helps feed and employ members of our community. It’s an opportunity to re-connect with purpose, enjoy an exceptional meal with people who share the same values, and hear about the work being done to serve those less fortunate. The Greasy Spoon is the easiest way to make a big impact while having a great time, every time.

Save On Meats 43 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4

Early Seating – 5:30pm-7:30pm
Late Seating – 8:00pm-10:00pm
