On Tuesday, April 28th, Chef and Co-Proprietor Daniel Boulud, DB Chef de Cuisine Stephane Istel and Master Mixologist Cameron Bogue hosted an event at Vancouver’s DB Bistro Moderne to launch DB’s new seasonal cocktails, just in time for spring.

Attendees enjoyed mingling with the trio, Bogue serving up his signature Cherry Vedder, Boulud kissing babies and signing books, and Istel serving up mouthwatering DB burger bites for all.

Daniel Boulud, who comes to Vancouver often to enjoy the scenery, sights and sounds, as well as to keep his staff at DB Bistro Moderne and Lumiere up to speed with global trends, is the author of five cookbooks which are available on his website store, HERE.

DB Bistro Moderne is located on West Broadway Avenue and is open for lunch daily, dinner nightly and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The lounge at DB, featuring drinks by Master Mixologist Bogue  is open daily and always presents a good reason to kick back and have a drink.
