Vancouver Restaurants Bring Green Dining to the Forefront

"As a One‑MICHELIN‑Starred restaurant committed to supporting local food security, Burdock & Co sources organic and biodynamic produce and sustainable seafood, receives farm products in reusable totes to cut cardboard and plastic, and highlights peak local produce year‑round. Owner and chef Andrea Carlson emphasizes that supporting organic growers and a sustainable local food economy is central to their mission. One menu highlight that underscores their sustainability message is the sea urchin gelato with almond, burdock, and radicchio crumb, created partly to draw attention to the ‘‘eat the invaders’’ initiative that highlights red urchin’s destructive impact on local kelp forests and encourages more sustainable seafood choices." - Sophie Mendel
