YOUR MISSION COMPLETED: LATTE VS. NOT, EH?Vancouver’s enthusiasm for the latte is positively frothy. We challenged you last week to show your fellow
Gastroposters what was in your mugs. The latte, not surprisingly, reigned supreme, crushing all comers with its smooth, foamy goodness. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown.

We once overheard a wise person say that no one should ever dismiss vanilla as plain and boring — vanilla is a flavour, and a delicious one. This week, we celebrate simple foods that deserve deep appreciation. Your
mission is to enjoy a time-honoured, well-known dish so that we can remember the qualities that have made it so
enduring. From humble grilled cheese sandwiches to sizzling steak frites to a beautifully basic caesar salad, show your fellow Gastroposters a classic food or drink
that you feel deserves some time in the spotlight.
