My Second & Last Restaurant Review
Remember when I promised I wouldn’t write another restaurant review after my post on Dark Table? Well…I’m breaking my own rule (again) by telling you my Fable story.
Reid and I’s anniversary was a couple of weeks ago, so we took this as the perfect excuse for dressing up and eating amazing food! It didn’t take long before we booked a dinner reservation at Fable.
I wish I was exaggerating when I say I’ve been talking about this restaurant for months (my poor friends). When I finally told them Reid and I were going to Fable, they were (strangely) more excited than I was. In retrospect, I think this was because it meant I’d finally stop yammering on and on about Fable.
Why was I so excited, you ask? Well, it all started with my summer obsession with Top Chef Canada.
Without a doubt, all contestants on Top Chef Canada were amazing. This made my life difficult as a viewer since I had no idea who to cheer for. Luckily, this quickly changed when Trevor Bird showed up—he became a favorite the moment I discovered he was also from Vancouver! Long story short, Trevor was runner-up for Top Chef Canada because Carl was just too good.
Anyway, back to Fable. As I’m sure you’ve guessed, Trevor is the chef at Fable!!
Fable was an idea he created whilst on the show, and I especially love their motto: “farm to table’, which literally speaks for itself. Moreover, Fable’s unique open kitchen not only enables chefs to personally interact with customers, it also lets them in on all the live cooking action!
Being me, I was too much of a chicken to sit that close to him, so instead, we settled at a quiet table for two. To my great surprise, Trevor approached us after Reid and I ordered the exact same item (pork tenderloin). He courteously asked if he could do an ‘off the menu’ pork tenderloin for us! When we got our dish, I was awestruck. Resting on top of a rustic wooden plate was bacon, pork, and roasted winter vegetables paired with a delectable applesauce and jam.
Honestly, I’m trying really hard not to be biased, but this was probably one of the best meals I’ve had! Apparently, I didn’t say a word to Trevor when he spoke to us or dropped off our food (probably because I was swooning over him), but in my head we had an amazing conversation!
