Homer Street Launch Brunch Menu; Acorn Cocktail Party

YALETOWN — Homer Street Bar & Cafe launch their brunch menu tomorrow with a characteristically chicken-y flavour; veteran bartender JS has created a chicken-Caesar, made by infusing Wild Turkey with chicken fat and then garnishing with a chicken skin. On the menu along with brunch standards there are some pleasingly unusual items including rotisserie-sausages and a chicken cobbler. [Eaterwire]

MAIN STREET — Freshly-bottled last night, Powell Street's new distillery the Odd Society have dropped bottles of their first batch of East Van Vodka at the Cascade Room. Made from "100% malted barley grown in BC and proudly blended with purified Vancouver tap water" get down there fast before supplies run dry. [Eaterwire]

Cocktails echo the fall-theme with plenty of pumpkin and spice notes. [Facebook]
