CITYFOOD at 15

LOOKING BACK AND MOST OF ALL ... LOOKING FORWARD

Can it be that 15 years has gone by since the first issue of CityFood was published? The illustration above shows our first cover from June 1992, and we remember when it hit the streets that more than one person remarked: "This is great. But how will you find enough material to fill another one?"

Well, filling issues of CityFood with great material about our fabulous food, wine and restaurants in British Columbia has never posed a problem. We managed it then, when the industry was but a seedling, and we are still on the chase now that it is emerging into full bloom. Along the way there have been plenty of fascinating stories to tell. Some that made it onto the pages, and even more that didn't, because at the time, we considered it prudent not to tell.

However, the time has come, to spill all the beans of the past and to celebrate where we are in 2007. It's going to be a blast and we thought we'd give you an advance invitation to come join us in the celebration.
