🍽 Grand openings in the Tri-Cities

There's so much happening!

Hey foodies!

Welcome (or welcome back) to another edition of the tastiest email you’ll get all week.

I thought last week’s newsletter was packed but… here we are. There’s so much happening – from openings to closings to tasting menus.

Thanks to everyone who entered our Dine Out Van contest (that’s literally all of you here!). Find our contest winner at the bottom.

Umbrellas down, let’s go.

P.S. The most clicked thing in last week’s newsletter was our story about La Foret opening in Coquitlam. If you liked that, you’ll love our update below.

P.P.S. If you like what you’re seeing, please forward this to a friend and tell them to sign up too!
