Hello eGulleteers! I'm a new member and thought I'd give my first two cents worth here. I agree with KT that the winners of the Georgia Straight's Best Restaurants are won mostly by ballot stuffing. Vancouver has such a variety of restaurants and I still see the usual winners every year on the list (such as Pink Pearl, Hons, etc.) Albeit, some winners are worth recognition. I actually have never heard of Chatters amongst my foodies friends. Think I will put on my iron stomach and try it. As for best Italian, namely pizza, Incendio; with their brick oven baked thin crust topped with fresh tomatoes and asiago cheese...mmmmmmm Does eGullet have a "Best of" listing? I'd be interested to know what foodies have to say, particularly in the Canada thread.
