We cover a wide range of topics here on VanMag.com—food, fashion, politics, more food, the politics of food, et cetera—so when it came time to tally up our most-read stories of the year, we weren’t surprised to find a mix of informative (like Frances Bula’s look at city hall’s internal politics), provocative (like our food editor’s take-down of one of the restaurant industry’s most anticipated opening) and just plain helpful (looks like you loved our candy-and-wine pairing guide as much as we did). Of course, with any “Top 10” list, we have to leave some other beloved stories in the dust, but sound off on social with any of your must-reads from this year’s crop of VM stories.

Intrepid reporter Lucy Lau investigates.
From Sour Patch Kids to peanut butter cups, Vancouver magazine’s food editor picks his his top tipples for a sophisticated candy consumption sesh.
Our 30th Annual Restaurant Awards feature is a result of a lot of eating by a lot of judges. The process starts as soon as last year’s awards are done and doesn’t stop until this issue goes to press. In the interim there are hundreds of meals, a few glasses of wine and plenty of heated debates. These are the results—dig in.
Our food editor, Neal McLennan, has never been one to shy away from sharing his opinion, and with his scathing review of the much-hyped Hydra, his disappointment was loud and clear (and seriously controversial).
The 2019 Power 50 list looks at the people in our community who are at the forefront of these issues—the changemakers, the business leaders, the activists and the politicians who moved the dial in this city in 2019 and, no doubt, in the year to come.
