Burdock & Co. | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: for chef and owner Andrea Carlson’s hyperlocal cooking that shows off British Columbia’s bounty—and all the good vibes. She’s one of the city’s most dynamic community-centric chefs. The quality and unpredictable nature of Burdock & Co.’s dishes make for a fun and ever-evolving experience. ORDER THE: house-milled arctic sourdough bread with cultured butter to start, then whatever your server recommends off their current menu. The buttermilk fried chicken is one of the few items they keep—and for good reason. THE VIBE IS: a Pacific-Northwest mix of brick, wood, candlelight, and locals. The food may be intricately plated, but it’s also accessible in price, making this an ideal neighborhood spot. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open every day, from 5 p.m. ’til the last regular has left; and for brunch on weekends, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can reserve online ahead of time. —Lindsay Anderson" - Condé Nast
