Vancouver's best-kept restaurant secrets

Directly from the Glowbal Group Press Release:

The Glowbal Collection Appointed Purveyors of PEI Blue Ribbon Beef

From restaurants to retail, there is a new steak in town

Vancouver, BC: Moo-ve over bland beef. The GLOWBAL COLLECTION has proudly served PEI Blue Ribbon Beef in its premier steakhouse, Black+Blue, since it opened last fall. Now, GLOWBAL is pleased to announce that select BC retailers offer the flavoursome PEI Blue Ribbon cuts, under the GLOWBAL COLLECTION brand.

Raised on the lush seaside fields of Prince Edward Island, these cattle feast on longer grass and potatoes, creating superior marbling and buttery flavour. Never introduced to animal by-products or antibiotics, the rigorous Blue Ribbon Program selects the top percentage of Canada’s highest grade, Canadian Prime.

“While researching top beef producers to showcase at Black+Blue, we were keen on working with smaller, boutique-style farms with high quality products,” says Emad Yacoub, GLOWBAL COLLECTION Proprietor. “Blind tastings conducted in GLOWBAL’s test kitchen resulted in PEI Blue Ribbon being labeled ‘outstanding’ in terms of flavour and texture. We are proud to offer the brand at our restaurants.”

By exclusive rights, The GLOWBAL COLLECTION serves PEI Blue Ribbon Beef at its restaurants, including Black+Blue, COAST, glowbal grill steaks & satay, and Italian Kitchen. And now discerning diners and BBQ buffs are invited to steer themselves to the following BC-based retail shops to pick up the luscious cuts to prepare at-home:

Famous Foods: Kingsway Street
Market Meats: Kitsilano
Windsor Packing: Main Street
Windsor Meats: Edgemont Village, North Vancouver
Butcher Dave’s: Sechelt, BC
Claytons Market: Sechelt, BC
Nesters: Whistler, BC

Recently, GLOWBAL COLLECTION Corporate Chef Ryan Gauthier visited PEI and met with the Blue Ribbon farmers.
