Random Thoughts of Chris Tilley

Today I discovered Gelato. I spent the last two weeks in Vancouver and decided to experiment in where I ate. I found a number of wonderful places and I like the idea of local and unique. The more I think about the more I like the idea. All the food was fresh and therefore was probably local at least more local that some of the alternatives. That would make this style of eating more environmentally friendly. There was also much less packaging even on the stuff I got to go.

Anyways the Gelato, I had never had any before and was never sure exactly what it was. I found a good website the explains the difference between Ice Cream vs Gelato. I had the chocolate and my son had the sour cherry. It was a small bowl with a tiny 'tasting' spoon but it was so loaded with flavorful that I felt I had eaten far more than I really had. Quality versus quantity. The Gelato was made in store with all natural high quality ingredients and that definitely made the difference. It was clean, crisp, flavorful and I will be returning for more next time I'm in Vancouver. The place is called BC Gelato and is at the corner of W Broadway and Spruce.
