Dan Levy Shouted Out This Vancouver Restaurant On A Holiday Gift Guide & For Good Reason

His recommendation might surprise you!

Looks like Dan Levy has a special place in his heart — and stomach — for a particular Vancouver restaurant.

The Schitt's Creek star has recently made a holiday gift guide with Doordash, which lists some curated spots that he loves to go to.

You can scroll through the list on the Doordash app, and check out some of his favourite small businesses, which work to highlight underrepresented entrepreneurs.

His epic list of tasty gifts includes places from L.A., New York, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, and of course Vancouver too!

He chose five special restaurants to shout out in the city actually, and one is a well-known hot spot for plant-based eaters, called Beetbox.

He listed Beetbox's "Beta 5 ‘Eat Your Veggies’ Chocolate Bar" in the gift guide, which is one of the many mouthwatering things on their menu.

The local Vancouver business is Black-owned, and their plant-based chocolate actually has veggies in it, which is a bit surprising.

It might not sound like a super fun stocking stuffer because it's filled with vegetables, but it's good enough for Dan Levy.

His other Vancouver-based gift ideas include:

  • A Box of Bannock, Family Pack Tacos from the Indigenous-owned restaurant Mr. Bannock
  • A Vietnamese Coffee Kit from the Immigrant-owned cafe Cà Phê Vietnamese Coffee House
  • The Lamb Souvlaki Meal from the Afghan-owned restaurant Jamila’s Kitchen
  • BBQ Pulled Jackfruit from the Black-owned restaurant Kula Kitchen

If you want to support local this season, and give people something they will most definitely put to use, food is always a good idea!
