604 Foodtography

I usually avoid posting about my personal life, or at least if I do, it will be mainly centered around food, but I had such a great experience with Vancouver’s own version of The Amazing Race, called The Amazing Hunt…that I just have to post about it!  The theme of this race on October 3rd, 2009 was centered around the newly completed Canada Line Skytrain.

Rules and etc about this race here.

There is one little thread of relation to food that is note worthy, and that is…there was an eating challenge! Already when they hinted in the morning about the eating challenge, I was thinking it would be an Asian restaurant because the Canada Line goes to Richmond, one of its main features.

I was excited, as soon as I entered the restaurant and saw what was on the table, I didn’t even have to read the clue, but still had to for the cameras. I sat down and started eating, and even jokingly asked for some rice while Victor was outside waiting for me to finish.  I was the first to arrive, and the first to finish. Deliiiiicious, I loved it. Although it was actually a lot of food after and I left really warm and full, which doesn’t bode well since we are on a race..we had such a big lead after this. No picture of it because it was a race, durh!

We ended up winning the race, and are racing again for the 2009 Championship title this Saturday 24th. If you see people running around town that day, don’t be alarmed! Below are pictures of the other clues we received. The video for this one isn’t up yet, but you can take a look at past races on their Youtube channel.
