Small Bites: Deep Fried Starbucks Coffee is a real thing

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

• Yes, Deep Fried Starbucks Coffee exists. No, you can’t get it in Vancouver.
• Another Sbux tidbit: Sadly, the coffee chain is closing all 23 of the La Boulange locations they acquired in the U.S. Of course, we can still get LB pastries at our many (many, many) local Starbucks spots.
• Did you know Metro Vancouver has an annual Garlic Festival? It happens on August 23 this year in Richmond.
• Check your mushrooms, yo! There’s been a big recall after some fears of possible Listeria contamination.
• Learn about urban agriculture in Vancouver with this video about Sole Food Farms.
• Flavour Town Adventures checks out Molli Cafe in the West End for a taste of their tacos.
• Our top food stories this week: Complete list of 72 Vancouver patios open to 1 a.m. this summer, the best ice cream sandwiches in town, 8 of Canada’s top restaurants are in Vancouver, Meat City opens in the West End, Subeez closed down amidst scandal, and one local restaurant business is helping former Subeez staff out in a big way.
