Vacay.ca’s Foodie of the Year Heads to Vancouver
Deborah Son is the winner of the 2013 Vacay.ca Canadian Foodie of the Year Contest and her Grand Prize included a visit to any of the Top 50 Restaurants in Canada of her choice. Deborah, who is from Winnipeg, chose Vij’s in Vancouver and will stay at the Loden Hotel during her stay in August.
Of her victory, Deborah says: “It feels incredible. … The menu at Vij’s looks beautiful but my decision was definitely influenced by the fact that it was voted No. 1 last year on the Vacay.ca 50 list as well as No. 3 this year.”
