On the Grill

Welcome to On the Grill, our daily Dine Out Vancouver Festival blog by Fred Lee. Over the next 17 days, Fred discusses everything food with a great selection of Vancouver’s chefs; what they enjoy, the ingredients they favour, and everything Dine Out related.

Fred’s, fabulous sense of humour and unique style makes him our 'Man About Town.' The Social Butterfly steps out with Rick Cluff every Monday morning on CBC Radio One's The Early Edition to share all Vanhattan's A-list happenings, red carpet parties, must-attend galas and fabulous fundraisers.

Fred's weekly social column 'Fred UnLEEshed' appears in the Vancouver Courier and 'City Life' column in the National Post. An advocate for the arts, Fred is also the resident theatre reviewer for Urban Rush with Fiona Forbes and Michael Eckford.

A foodie at heart, Fred, along with fellow CBC colleague Margaret Gallagher, hosted the national CBC Radio One food show Flavour of the Week. When not gala-vanting, Fred is Associate Director, Alumni Engagement at the University of British Columbia.
