Crab season is officially here!

Several B.C. crabbing areas opened up this week, kicking off the season with more areas to follow in the coming weeks.

A huge thank you to the hardworking fishing families who are bringing B.C. Dungeness crab from the water to our tables. Their work is the backbone of a fishery built on sustainable practice, season after season.

There’s no better way to celebrate than at the 4th annual False Creek Crab Fest! Join us on Sunday July 26th at False Creek Harbour Authority Fishermen’s Wharf to dig into a delicious crab boil and support the fishery that makes it all possible BC Dungeness Crab 🧡

A huge moment for one of our own 👏

Chef TJ Conwi, Education Co-Chair of Chefs’ Table Society of BC, has been named “Chef with Heart” at the Restaurant Awards, and if you know his work, this one hits deep.

Named in memory of Claudio Ranallo, the award honours chefs who show up for their communities with generosity, humility, and heart, often behind the scenes.

In the wake of the Lapu Lapu Day Festival tragedy in 2025, TJ did exactly that—stepping in without hesitation to cook for families in need. It’s the same spirit he brings to everything he does, from .kitchen and LunchLAB to his work at Ono Vancouver.

This is what leadership in our industry looks like.

We’re incredibly proud to have TJ helping shape the next generation of chefs in BC. Massive congratulations, TJ—this is so, so well deserved! 👏
