Raise a pint to modern pub grub - most unhealthy dishes at u.s chain restaurants

When you think of a bar, you must think of a certain type of restaurant. Casual. Cosy. Egalitarian.
Nice beer.
Rich and comfortable food.
A British atmosphere.
It must be colored glass somewhere.
"It was an experience for me," said Alvin Pillay, executive chef of Donnelly restaurant group.
"I feel like it's the level of hospitality when I go to one of our places, or any of the bars.
Anyone can feel comfortable in the bar.
Not chicken wings, not fish and chips.
This is how comfortable you are in this space.
This is a question that Pillay is seriously thinking about.
After all, when almost everyone is talking about the demise of the bar, his task is to develop the bar experience.
"I hope you go to the local area two or three times a week," Pillay said . ".
"You will have a good drink and a good dish.
Everyone is welcome.
"A public place or bar is a unique British/Irish/Scottish type of hotel that evolved from the introduction of tabernae to the British Isles by the Romans about 2,000 years ago.
It is designed to be a popular "third place" where people of all ages, classes and backgrounds can get together for a pint of beer, whether it's family or work, gossip place, sometimes a place to stay.
For centuries, traveling to the local area has become part of the daily life of Britain like warm beer and relentless drizzle.
It is also one of the largest exports in the UK, with active bar culture being transported to Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and of course Canada.
But bars in the UK have not been friendly in recent years.
It is estimated that there is a bar for every 200 people in the UK.
But, from the start of the new millennium, the bar has closed more quickly than you can say "make my bar miserable.
It is reported that more than 13,000 bars have been closed in the UK since 2000;
On 2018, they closed at the rate of 18 people per week.
Britain's public places are gone for a quarter of an hour, victims of smoking bans, stricter drunk driving
Rules for driving, cheap wine in grocery stores, changing fashions, younger generations drink less than older people. Here in B. C.
At the same time, bars are being forced to change as times change, as bars have changed almost since the first bar license was issued in the 1970 s. (
At the time, the bar was considered so shameful that windows were not allowed in case the public was corrupt by seeing people enjoy a pint of wine. )
Some bars, such as the famous Dover Arms Hotel, were forced to close, mainly due to astronomical real estate prices in the city.
To be sure, some people are struggling with the market that is filled with chain restaurants.
But the others are alive.
In fact, they are thriving.
Their secret ingredients?
Very simple, good food.
"The taste has completely changed.
"It has nothing to do with sausage and mashed potatoes," Pillay said . ".
"I think there is a chance.
What we are trying to do is by taking elements from the great restaurants we visited while traveling and incorporating them into the bar atmosphere, bridging the gap that people are used to in the bar menu.
"In the UK, thriving bars are either taken over by chains with deep pockets (
That is, Wetherspoons)
Or invest heavily in their cooking projects.
These "gourmet bars" still feature casual cuisine, but now it's handmade and at a high price
The local ingredients are of high quality, with beer, cider and wine.
In 2001, the country bar Stafford Inn in Haford County was the first British bar to receive a Michelin star.
In 2019, Michelin offered star service to 17 British bars, including stars in both hands and Flowers in Flowers County. Here in B. C.
Spinnaker of Victoria also adopted the name "food bar.
Paul Hadfield opened in 1984, the first Brewing bar in Canada and the first one mainly using local ingredients.
In Gaines town, Sean Heather has been cooking food for years (
Great whiskey.
The focus of the Irish Heather restaurant.
Seagulls in North Vancouver, used to be rusty seagulls, introduced by manager Phil Tapping
Make cocktails and bright and lively food, dash with Middle Eastern flavor, a rather antique blue color for a long time --collar joint.
Then the Donnelly Group, which currently operates 12 bars and cocktail parties in Vancouver, including the oldest 94-year-
The old Diwali, as well as the four Diwali in Toronto, plans to open more.
Don't tell them the bar is running out of days.
Because obviously, they're not.
Please note that the bar cannot simply throw some French fries into the fryer, just call it a day. Not any more.
Consumer expectations, especially in terms of health
Obsessed with Vancouver.
"We have been thinking about health --
"Conscious objects," said Pillay.
"The salad came back to a great extent. Plant-
Based on cooking is now in the driver's seat.
Burnt and grilled vegetables as appetizers or protein supplements.
"For example, one of the most popular dishes he has added to the menu is the burnt shishito peppers that go through the barbecue and then add olive oil, smoked onion salt and green lime juice
Customers share them as snacks, which is much healthier than corn flakes applied to cheese and sour cream.
He found that the challenge was to add flavor without adding calories.
"Salt and fat make everything delicious.
But how do you make rapini and asparagus delicious and still good for you? ” he wonders.
That said, the tradition is still on the menu despite the possibility of some edits.
"We still pay tribute to our staple food, just like our chicken wings," he said . ".
"Options are still very important for customers.
People like their fried food.
"For example, three Brits in British Bay offer beef and Guinness stew with puff pastry, a recognition of classic steak pies.
"It's a super traditional thing, almost a bit flipped.
You feel really connected to the bar experience.
"Almost as important as what's on the plate is what's happening behind the scenes.
Pillay has been upgrading the skills of everyone in the kitchen, bringing food preparation to work at home and teaching his team the basics of food.
In a way, this is to control the quality of the products they produce.
But it is also directly related to attracting and retaining outstanding employees, which is a serious problem for the industry.
"Anything you can do to teach them the skills will help keep the staff," Pillay said . ".
After all, the bar is about the community, including people who work there, and people who drink and eat there.
This means that the food should make everyone feel as good as the taste.
"For me, the definition of bar food has always been quality and value.
Then the cultural attributes of Britain, Scotland and Ireland.
"The DNA of the bar," Pillay said.
"At the end of the day, it shows more concern about what you do.
It just translates into a guest experience.
