Food, Camera, Action! Olympic Eats on Video

The bustling energy that the 2010 Winter Olympics brought to Vancouver was amazing but I’m relieved to reclaim our city back from the visitors. During the games, I yearned to sample each Olympic Pavilion’s culinary delights but the ridiculously long lineups often deterred me (and many other locals I spoke with).
Not ready to give up, I led the Foodists film crew through Granville Island’s festivities to capture all the action. Be prepared for regional specialties, tantalizing bites, and a few too many… I’ll just leave it at that.
Melody Fury of The Foodists, ventures out during Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Olympics and experiences a tasting of Olympic proportions!

I avoided Granville Island like the plague during the Games, but it looks like we missed a great day of Olympic cultural and culinary fun!
Very natural on camera performance matched by great video quality! Did you guys have a plan and write a script, or was this improvised?
Looking forward to the next installment. Who will be the next Foodists reporter?

Who knew GI had those food culture gems during the olympics? Looks like you had a very nice camera — I’m jealous and now want my own camera crew to gain access into culinary inner sanctums. Chances are my inferior cuteness wouldn’t get me all those free drinks, though. I must have those fishkebabs!

Just a heads up… Many of the places featured in the video will remain open for the Paralympics. Go to Granville Island and check them out.
