YOUR MISSION COMPLETED:EAST, WEST & FUSION
YOUR MISSION COMPLETED: EAST, WEST & FUSION
Last week, we challenged you to share a meal declaring your ultimate food allegiance between the cuisines of the West and East — or in the case of fusion, both. Vancouver food lovers showed a well-rounded variety of preferences, but it seemed to us like the East has your hearts. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown.

Here are some Gastroposters who took that inspiration to heart. The Hundred-Foot Journey stars Helen Mirren and opens Aug. 8.

This week and next, Gastropost has partnered with the upcoming film The Hundred-Foot Journey and acclaimed Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij to bring you inspirations that will whet your appetite for the movie’s celebration of Indian and French cuisine. The film’s vivid depictions of market-fresh French ingredients echoes Vikram’s dedication to visiting Vancouver’s markets personally to find the best ingredients, as has been the practice in France and Asia forever. “I still go and shop for the best of ingredients out there,” he says, because as a chef he has an artist’s perfectionism. “Cooking is meant to be a form of art.” © 2014 DreamWorks II Distribution Co., LLC.
