  • World AIDS Day at Cioppino’s in Yaletown

     

    For the last 10 years, Lesley and Mike Rogers have hosted a World AIDS Day luncheon in support of Vancouver based charity – A Loving Spoonful. This year, they celebrated the anniversary with the help of friends and super chef Pino Posteraro at the stylish Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill and Enoteca in Vancouver’s Yaletown district. Decadent short rib pasta followed by the perfect piece of fillet steak, helped remind everyone that Chef Pino and his crew are some of the most talented in the city. The Loving Spoonful delivers approximately 1,750 meals per day to those suffering from HIV/AIDS. To date, close to 2,000,000 meals have been delivered. With the Christmas season upon us, it’s nice to know that thanks to families like Lesley and Mike Rogers, giving can continue all year long. (more…)

  • Lumiere Daniel Boulud Bistro Opening and Shut Up and Shoot Movie Launch

    When you make a movie with the likes of Gary Busey, Tom Sizemore and Daniel Baldwin, it’s definitely time to celebrate. That’s what Vancouver’s talented Silvio Pollio did at the DVD launch of his “Shut Up and Shoot” movie. Pollio and several other cast members, including Joe Cortese, toasted the occasion at the Can-Am Importique studios in Burnaby which was the perfect setting since owner Paul Pincott is known for warehousing one of the city’s biggest collections of movie set paraphernalia. Also the culinary stars were out last week as David and Manjy Sidoo relaunched the newest version of their Lumiere restaurant. Located in Kitsilano, the new view in dining has come courtesy of New York living legend Daniel Boulud who also lends his name to the adjoining DB Bistro (formerly known as Feenie’s). (more…)

DJ Timka, direct from New York’s Buddha Bar, put down the sounds as Octopussy, Odd Job and other sexy villans strutted their stuff. A sexy VIP room, exotic decor and the who’s who of Vancouver’s beautiful people all added up to a night that Halle Berry would have loved. Halle Berry, who is in town shooting her new movie, was scheduled to attend, but had to cancel last minute). Lastly, congrats go to Pasquale Cusano and the gang at Montecristo Jewellers for their exclusive men’s and women’s shopping nights – funds from which go to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.
