ONE SECRET OF WHITE SPOT’S SUCCESS IS NO SECRET AT ALL:

VANCOUVER, BC, July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Back in 1928, White spot founder Nat Bailey turned his 1918 Model T into a mobile food counter that parked at Lookout Point in Vancouver every Sunday, selling delicious hot dogs and ice cream to hungry tourists. His menu was based on the best local ingredients he could find. Today – 94 years later – the tradition continues, with White Spot restaurants purchasing more fresh, locally grown produce than any other full-service restaurant chain in the province.

“The story of White Spot is inseparable from BC, and it all started with one man and his truck,” he said Warren Erhart, President, White Spot Restaurants. “For more than nine decades, White Spot has proudly supported local growers. We’re very proud of the long-lasting relationships we’ve forged, including some that go back to a handshake with Nat Bailey and continue to this day – like our partnership with the Guichon family Felix farms in Delta, who have been supplying White Spot with potatoes for our Kennebec fries since 1938.”

This summer, BC’s iconic restaurant chain – the longest running in Canada – is celebrating its tradition of supporting local cuisine by launching a new “celebrate BC‘Menu made at locations across the province July 25th to September 4th.

“The variety, quality and freshness of BC ingredients is at its peak this time of year,” said Executive Chef Jacob Kennedy. “It has been such a pleasure for the Culinary team and I to create the food for this new menu.” On the list is the new one BC Brie & Bacon Grilled Chicken Burgermade with fresh BC chicken breasts and topped with brie Golden Ears Cheesecrafter; while Steelhead Florentines Spotlights Ocean Wise Steelhead caught in Lois Lake, BC The new BC Summer Salad features a bounty of locally grown produce and, by popular demand, the famous fresh lettuce BC Blueberry Pie is made with blueberries sourced all the way through Farms in Silver Valley in…
