During my long career in medicine, I would make a point of visiting hospital laboratories, especially in children's hospitals, whenever I visited a country or a city that boasted of a paediatric hospital. And generally I returned to Vancouver with a renewed pride in the quality of care we provided in the laboratories of our own Children's and Women's Hospital here in BC.
Now that my second career centres on theatre, food and travel writing, I likewise take every opportunity I can to see theatre, and wine and dine in great restaurants wherever I travel. Each time I return to Vancouver whether I have experienced superb meals in London, Capetown, the Languedoc or on my recent trip to Chicago, I realize anew how lucky we are to have the fresh food bounty from earth and sea, that we have here in British Columbia.
Prompted by an absolutely outstanding dining experience with the Chef's Table selection at Goldfish Pacifc Kitchen last night, and looking back on the variety of restaurants I have reviewed since I began posting my reviews to Supping in Vancouver, I realized that I need to develop some sort of a rating scale to distinguish an outstanding dining experience from an excellent or a merely really good meal.
