The Lazy Gourmet’s BBQ
A couple of weeks back, The Lazy Gourmet invited me to a summer BBQ. While I am no longer the top-ranked UrbanSpoon food reviewer, I remain in the top five and I am also heavily involved with the food blogging scene in Vancouver. 
The Lazy Gourmet does not actually have a full-blown restaurant (although they do provide to-go lunch options), but more importantly, it is a local business that is heavily focusing on providing sustainable food catering options. I was particularly happy when I found out that the salmon they use is Ocean Wise approved. For me, being a local business with a focus on sustainability and a genuine interest in the community always earns you brownie points. I wish I had had more space to sample all of their catering items. Unfortunately, the BBQ was on a Sunday when I was (as usual) triple-booked. Also, I was on my way for dinner with JT and he would have not appreciated it very much if I hadn’t eaten what he cooked for me! Overall, my experience with The Lazy Gourmet was very positive, particularly when I commented about my editorial and disclosure policy (i.e. I’m not obligated to write about anything nor do I endorse anything that I don’t feel right). I gave Ginger a few tips on Twitter and encouraged her to tell management at The Lazy Gourmet about getting a blog. More importantly, it is key to remain engaged with customers. I have had very little experience with caterers (only having really worked with LunchBox in Gastown for Mental Health Camp) so it was nice to learn more about The Lazy Gourmet. You can read more on their About Us page. Thanks for the invite to the BBQ! Next time, I seriously hope I’ll have more room for more tasty food!

A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Susan and get a behind the scenes view of their catering operation in Vancouver. She’s a wonderful person to meet, we chatted about recruitment and ended up working with her (we do recruitment for hospitality). What really knocked my socks off was the food they served right there at the catering HO. The fact that they are concerned about the environment is another big thumbs up to them.
