“The Main Event – East meets West” is being held from January 18 to January 24th, 2010. Restaurants along main street will be offering three-course tasting menus for set prices from $25-$45. A percentage of food sales will be donated to The Great Vancouver Food Bank. All restaurants will also be accepting food donations. Here is your chance to dine out for a cause (in other words, another good excuse to eat out). Restaurants and some menus are posted on the event’s website.
