Organizers of the 2008 Tall Ships Festival have landed the Eagle
The three-masted barque from the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed its participation in the festival, set for June 26-29 — a coup because the vessel is a Class A type, which means it’s one of the biggest tall ships.
Anchoring one or more Class A vessels is critical to drawing crowds, John Anderson, festival chairman, said yesterday. “The Eagle is a big ship with lots of mast and lots of sail. Those are the kind of vessels that draw people to the water.”
Southern BBQ Cuisine at its best, made from local ingredients and without additives or artificial flavourings. The pulled pork and beef combo brisket plate compete for most favoured status with the BBQ pork ribs. The portions are generous. As is the tradition in BBQ restaurants, you get to pick your side. Some other menu items include Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Hush Puppies (corn fritter). Great place for meat lovers and some special items not found in most restaurants. Vancouver Island’s authentic BBQ food with real smoke. A surprisingly respectable collection of Bourbons. They’re located in a mall at the start of Station Road in Langford, just west of the corner of Millstream and Goldstream. Not big on atmosphere but very tidy and great food.
There is nothing rushed about the food at Smoken Bones Cookshack. From the hours the pork rib racks spend in the smoker, to the hours chef and owner Ken Hueston spends on the phone sourcing out local farm produce, it’s clear there’s something different about the one-year-old restaurant on Station Avenue.
The business is featured in the November issue of Air Canada’s en Route magazine as one of the top 20 new restaurants in Canada.
