Welcome to another "Fresh Sheet" update featuring take out and delivery options from restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and more across Metro Vancouver.
Particularly exciting today is the inclusion of some spots that had been temporarily closed, like Trafiq (makers of some incredible cakes) and Trans-Am (an award-winning bar known for their wicked burgers), as well as the ressurection of Blind Sparrow, a West End restaurant that shuttered in Tk. And of course, much more from several places.
There's some damn awesome stuff happening with Vancouver's incredible restaurants right now, and if you can, please support them. They won't all survive.
I've been working to keep you updated on what different restaurants and food businesses are doing at this time. You can read more about some options here:
- 麻豆传媒映画restaurants clear fridges for shut down, donate food and money
- Metro 麻豆传媒映画restaurants, food businesses find creative solutions to stay afloat, help people during COVID-19 crisis

Additionally, please use the excellent website to connect directly to restaurants and order food, as well as purchase gift certificates and merchandise.
As emails and DMs come in from restaurants and food businesses, or as I am able to track them via social media, I am rounding them up here regularly to keep you informed.
Bear in mind that due to the COVID-19 crisis, things may change rapidly. Please connect directly with the restaurant via phone, email, website, or social media, before making plans that depend upon their offerings being available.
