Kelly Ripa gushed over this Vancouver restaurant with 'Gilmore Girls' star Lauren Graham
Kelly Ripa might just be Vancouver's biggest fan, singing the city's praises whenever she gets the opportunity. From hyping up the airport to recounting her memorable times on Canada's West Coast, she isn't shy about what her favourite Canadian city seems to be.
Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham recently joined in on the Vancouver love, when she appeared on an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark that aired on Friday, November 8.
The trio — Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa, and Lauren Graham — bonded over their love for Canadian sushi, and inability to find anything as good in New York. Graham was recently on a trip to Toronto, and her way of getting to know a city includes going to its well-known restaurants.
She said that there's "some amazing food in Toronto," shouting out Matty Matheson's restaurant as well as the city's sushi scene. "We love a sushi moment," Ripa adds.
While Toronto got some praise, nothing beats Ripa's love for Vancouver. Graham brought up the sushi at Vancouver's famed sister restaurants, Minami and Miku, saying that they have another restaurant in Toronto and she ate at it "every other day" while there.
Ripe clearly agreed, and reached out to hold Graham's hand when she brought up Miku, a place she had previously shouted out publically. Ripa and Graham commiserated about not being able to find the same kind of sushi there.
"Once you have sushi that way you can't seem to have it any other way," Ripa said. Graham joked that it's her "Shark Tank project" to bring it to America.
So if you're in Vancouver, or planning a visit, make sure to eat up all the Aburi Oshi sushi you can at Miku — because it's clearly one of a kind.
Also, make sure to appreciate the Vancouver airport, which Ripa joked is where she wants to be buried.
