VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Do you like pork? Would you say you have a passion for pork? September 10th to 16th is Passion for Pork Week in Metro Vancouver!
“I have been waiting for this for a couple of months now,” says Mijune Pak from Follow Me Foodie. “Alberta pork producers, they’re promoting restaurants that are promising to use safe and healthy pork and are raising animals in a safe and humane manner.”
Usually when you think of Alberta, you think of beef; but Wildrose Country is also known for high-quality pork.
Burnaby’s Hart House is one of the restaurants taking part.
“They’re showcasing pork belly and natural pork tenderloin and also the braised pork shoulder.” explains Pak. “They created a pork belly with a benito broth braised in daikon and bok choy and chili ginger and scallion relish.”
Other places with a passion for pork include Lupo, The Refinery, and Memphis Blues BBQ.
