I GOT SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT… And its not Elvis’s Sideburns but just as good!
So having a love for new finds in Vancouver and having a thing for chips, yes, those things we find in the stores all over the world that are made from corn or potatoes and often dips in different sauces like salsa, french onion dip, spinach and artechoke spread, seven layer dip, and oh so much more, I am excited to tell you all about Fresh is Best.
Fresh is Best is a Kamloops based business that has come to Vancouver and changed the lovely city of Kits. Although its been around for a little while it’s just breaking ground on West Broadway.
After a day of wandering the city with a friend from Toronto we met up with her Adam Behr, an incredible voice over expert based in Vancouver, BC. We decided to get crazy and have a Mexican themes evening with Mexican beers (Corona, Sol, and Modelo) and an improvision of Mexican food. Adam took us on an adventure for food, beers, and the likes in his neighborhood and we our first stop was Fresh in Best. Man was I in heaven.
Fresh is Best has an array of salsa, hot sauces, amazing tortillas, and more. Being a bit of a chip and dip connoisseur I was like a kid in a candy store! Now I have to tell you that I love to cook, making up new recipes as I go, and get a kick out of mixing and matching new finds so this store has now made the PaSSioN-Girl list of favs.
All their fresh items are sugar and gluten free and delicious. Their chips have jalepeno or chilli in them with a slight twist of lime!
After 30 minutes in the store I am excited to say that these are among my favourites:
First and foremost the hot sauce of choice is the Moletn Mango.. its like a party in your mouth… SERIOUSLY! If you like a hot sauce that is just sweet enough to smile, just hot enough to kick your eyebrow up a bit, and pleasant enough to put on the bbq or your favourite tortilla this is the hot sauce for you!
As for dips I have to say that the Garlic and Spinach Dip is to DIE for! Using fresh sour cream, a LOAD of garlic it leaves you saying OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! that’s goooooooooooood! More peas!
The next on my favourites list is the Smoked Black Bean Dip the best part of this is that you can get it alone or in the layered dip. It’s got a nice subtle smokey taste and a not so harsh beany zest. Yes thats right folks, I said beany!
So if you are looking to hit a party in the Kits neighbourhood, or happen to pass through stop by Fresh is Best I promise you won’t be disappointed. Ask Maxine for some help on finding a salsa or dip that you like, she might even give ya a little taste or two!
