Vancouver’s Granville Market a Foodie Mecca

 

It’s bad enough Chicago doesn’t have a yearround market, at least like they do in Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Toronto.  But when I saw the bustling Public Market on Granville Island, in an old fishing supply warehouse in the heart of Vancouver, I realized – yet again – that Chicago is light years away from obtaining “major foodie star status” until we get one of these. Christ, there were people making old-school bagels, fruit tarts, sushi, soup, you name it; then there were vendors of all stripes – sausage, prosciutto, exotic produce – it was culinary boner time and all I could think was, “when the hell are we gonna get one of these at home?”
