Win 2 tickets to a sustainable food and wine night at the Vancouver Aquarium

Update: Congratulation to Kevin (@604foodtography). You are the winner of the 2 tickets!

Thank you to everyone that entered. I’ll be sure to post more prizes for grabs soon :)

I’ll eat just about anything that I can fit in my mouth. Well, almost anything. Eating ethically is important to me and sometimes, my readers have to put up with me yammering on and on about sustainability. Hey, if we truly love food, we must preserve all species by making responsible food choices.

Now, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t indulge.

I’m inviting 2 lucky winners to join me in celebration of scrumptious, sustainable food!

Tourism Vancouver is throwing a “Sustainable Plate & Pairing Challenge” where 8 chefs from Dine Out Vancouver will strut their stuff at the Vancouver Aquarium. Each chef will prepare their best dish and skillfully pair them with local BC VQA wines.

This event is in support of the Ocean Wise Program so you can bet that the seafood will be fresh and sustainable!

Ocean WHO, you ask? Then you best watch this video, jam packed with spot prawn head sucking action!

Simply follow these 2 steps to win

1. Write a comment below about the food you’ll miss most if it gets wiped off the face of the Earth. (Include your twitter handle / fb name)

2. Spread the word through either:

Twitter: Follow me and write a tweet that includes this link, @GourmetFury, and #DineOut e.g. Party with @GourmetFury! 8 #DineOut chefs + 8 BC wines @VancouverAqua. Win 2 tickets http://ow.ly/3qtZ8

Facebook: “like” Gourmet Fury on facebook, then share this link with your friends. Be sure to type @Gourmet Fury in the description so that I can track you! e.g. Win 2 tickets to sample 8 Dine Out chefs’ menus and 8 BC wines at the Aquarium from @Gourmet Fury [insert link]

The winner of the pair of tickets will be picked at random and announced on January 6th, 2 weeks before the event. Good luck and I can’t wait to meet you!

Time: January 20th at 7pm

I would miss a butter soaked lobster. Messier than a babies bib at feeding time, but tastier than a box of chocolates!

Sushi…. definitely sushi :p

EEEK I hope I win!!
http://jan-chan.com Janice

The food I’d miss the most would probably be clams (with scallops and prawns as a close 2nd/3rd choice).
Nicolb

Sushi… but because that pretty much covers all seafood. Sushi me now!
brycepugh

I would miss all of the fish!
It sounds a little Seussical to say it like that, but it’s true.
Pink fish;
White fish;
Big fish;
Little fish;
All fish!
Henry

Fresh, wild salmon. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
http://rainyruns.blogspot.com Beth

Local fresh seafood and wine are two of my favourite things. Wouldn’t want to miss it!

Pork.

No more bacon, crispy lechon and samgyeopsal pork belly just to list a few…what would I do?!
Hilary

Food I’d miss most…popcorn. How would we watch movies without it?
ephemera07

hi Melody – great contest! I will miss wild salmon the most, although any sushi fish is a close second. And I would definitely miss cocoa!!!!!
Sophia

I would be pretty sad if I couldn’t have my sablefish anymore. That and steak!
http://MissManifesto.com Colleen

Fish, for sure. All kinds, but probably tuna and salmon the most. Also, heirloom anything. they taste SO much better!!
Jen

I would miss so many different foods! Crab with garlic butter, avocado, cheesecake, Irish Cream liqueur, tempura
Jeremy

I would miss prime rib roasts the most!

steak
Katherine

Oooh raw salmon … that’s why the Ocean Wise movement is so important now :)

Also I’d die if truffles were wiped off this earth. I had the best truffle poutine last week and I still can’t stop thinking about it … hungry .. now … ugh!

I’d miss Lasagna the most. It’s the best gift to the world… Love it.
@vancouverhoney

Whole beef tenderloin sliced with blue cheese cream sauce poured on top. Oh yeah.
Sanaz

Sushi for sure…
http://www.realcitylife.com William Tang

I would miss the tender taste of Mahi Mahi smothered in a butter cream sauce with a light hawaiian pineapple salad on the side…oh my word
http://foodtree.com Anthony Nicalo

I’d miss humans. Most cultures don’t eat humans, unless you are a worm, of course, but eating sustainably isn’t about preserving your favorite dish. Unless we start to eat sustainably, the planet won’t be able to support human life.

Truffle! I could eat cardboard if it was covered in truffle oil… mmmmm…
maria

I would probably miss poutine the most! So Canadian eh?
Crispy Lechon

I will definitely miss Filipino roast pig (Lechon).
Shoshanna

I would miss wild salmon (mostly sashimi); therefore, it is important to support local sustainable seafood.
http://fabulouslyfrugalinvancouver.wordpress.com/ Dianne Chow

I would definitely miss Ahi tuna as it is my favorite fish and I always order it whenever I see it on the menu.
Evelyn

I’d miss steak the most! A huge piece of triple A Alberta beef, rare please.
http://www.tangmac.com Cecilia Lu

Definitely chocolate. The pennies we’re paying at the moment in no way lives up to the actual cost of producing cocoa beans. Need to start treating chocolate like the luxury it once was!
Angela R

Cod & Halibut! Fish n’ Chips….hmmm yum

Fruits, all kinds of fruit. I don’t really have a particular type of fruit but if I had to pick one it would be the orange.

I’m @h_suarez on Twitter btw
Lexa

I sure would miss scallops if they disappeared! (@lexaleigh)
Jennifer Breakspear

Salmon… I would be done in if we did not see hordes of salmon tenaciously journeying upstream.
Raspberries… the marvelous flavour found within the tiny berries… without it the world would be a sad place.
Chocolate… I can’t even imagine the darkness that would settle in over our globe if we were to be deprived of chocolate.
I must stop. I am getting depressed.

Diane

Tuna tartar! Actually, I already miss it as I think I shouldn’t eat it when it’s so endangered :(

Dungeness Crab… cooked on the beach in salt water

Mussels! No, wild salmon! No, sable fish! Oh, I can’t decide, there’s too much delicious….
Anita

Salmon. Definitely salmon. Sushi. Prawns.
May

My favourite type food is seafood, and if I had to pick my favourite seafood it would be scallops. They’re small, but so unique in taste. I would miss them dearly if they got wiped off the face of the earth. That, and vegetables in general. No amount of meat or seafood can ever replace veggies!
