I’ve had the privilege of having some pretty terrific jobs the past few years.  Terrific not only in the fact that experience brought me to an exciting opportunity here in Vancouver, but because I’ve met some amazing people and lifelong friends along the way.  I’m happy to say that I’ve lucked out again in this regard.
To introduce me to a popular dining spot, some coworkers took me out to Baru Latino Restaurante one Friday eve.  I can’t say much more beyond the food was very good and the house specialty-ceviche-was outstanding.  Oh yes, and Vancouver Magazine’s recommendation of last year to try the arepa con chorizo was a good one.

Why can’t I say much more?  Because I was too busy enjoying an evening out with new friends to pay too much attention to the food… beyond taking photos with my sangria goggles on, that is.
