Small Bites: From carbon-free to contamination

Hungry for more food stories? Check out these small bites:

• The Sun’s Mia Stainsby weighs in on The Mackenzie Room in Railtown. (Read our pre-opening feature on the lovely restaurant, too.)
• Spud.ca launches “carbon free delivery” aka they use bikes.
• A “make your own gin kit” you say? Sounds like a fun idea!
• Vancouver’s Foodster ran a fried chicken challenge, and the winners have been announced. Such a fun, eclectic mix on the local fried chix scene.
• Well, this is an awful statistic-slash-headline: “Contaminated Food Sickens 1 in 10 People Worldwide Each Year.”
• Montecristo checks in with Vancouver’s Miku restaurant, and how they’re keeping things fresh.
• Our biggest food stories this week: Where to find the best bowls of soup around town, Vij’s Cambie location is almost open, Timmies handed out freebies, we toured Pat Quinn’s in T-town, Kamei Royale is moving locations, and where to find the best hot chocolate in Vancouver.
