It's award season for local restaurants and CBC food columnist Gail Johnson is reviewing the winners of this year's Chinese Restaurant Awards. Vancouver Magazine held its annual Restaurant Awards last week and highlighted Chinese dining with categories like Best Chinese and Best Dim Sum, but Johnson said these dedicated awards allow for multiple and specialized categories like Best Sichuan Mouthwatering Chicken, Best Chinese Take-Out and Best Peking Duck,. Another new category this year is the Ocean Wise Sustainable Seafood Award, which went to Heritage Asian Eatery on Pender and Thurlow in downtown Vancouver. The restaurant recently became a member of the Ocean Wise Sustainable Seafood program, which is shown on restaurant menus with its symbol signifying which choices are ocean-friendly. "Even though the eatery doesn't have that many seafood options, it's great to see it choosing sustainable seafood," Johnson said.
