VERRE
CHEF: LIAM BREEN
A staunch individualist, Breen preferred hands-on training to a formal culinary education, working the lines at restaurants across Canada. Eventually, the Vancouverite’s wanderlust took him to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he won accolades — and several awards — for his eclectic cuisine. Dubbed “The Canadian Rebel,” by local media, he was a driving force behind such hotspots as La Cave French Bistro, Marco Pierre White Grill, and Maine Oyster Bar and Grill.

DIXIE’S BBQ
CHEFS: MATTY CAROLEI / MARCO MURA
Inspired by such Austin legends as Franklin's, Swan's and La BBQ, Dixie's BBQ is Vancouver's only authentic Central Texas smokehouse. Voted #1 BBQ in both Georgia Straight's Best of Vancouver and Golden Plates Awards, we serve up fresh smoked meats 5 days a week. Our pit crew, led by Matty Carolei and Marco Mura, light up the live fire smoker first thing in the morning to have perfect brisket, ribs, hot links and pork ready for dinner service. A labour of meat-love, we pride ourselves on our Southern sides, bourbon bar and hospitality. (We also have kick-ass Fried Chicken...)
