John Bishop's culinary journey is a testament to how life can unfold in unexpected and magnificent ways. From a young Welsh boy with no grand ambitions beyond escaping his small town, to becoming one of Canada's most influential culinary pioneers, Bishop's story captivates from the first moment.The heart of Bishop's philosophy crystallized in his first days at cooking school: mise en place – proper preparation and organization. This concept would guide not just his cooking but his entire approach to life and community. After honing his craft across the UK, Ireland, and working on merchant ships, Bishop arrived in Vancouver in February 1973, eventually landing at Umberto Menghi's acclaimed Il Giardino.What truly set John apart was his revolutionary vision when opening his eponymous restaurant in 1985. Long before "farm-to-table" became an industry buzzword, Bishop built direct relationships with local farmers like Natty and Gary King of Hazelmere Organic Farm, planning seasonal menus based on what would be harvested from their soil. This approach – focusing on locality and seasonality rather than ethnicity or culinary technique – transformed Vancouver's dining landscape.Bishop's Restaurant became more than just a place to eat; it was a cultural institution where art, community, and hospitality merged. For 37 years, it hosted everyone from Hollywood celebrities to regular Vancouverites celebrating life's milestones. John also became an ambassador for Canadian cuisine, representing its bounty internationally from Beijing to London, all while feeding culinary icons like Julia Child and Jaques Pepin back home.Most profound in John's reflection is his understanding of cooking as an act of giving. Whether preparing a meal for family, creating a special anniversary dinner for longtime guests, or mentoring chefs who would become the next generation of culinary leaders, Bishop recognized that the table itself – the gathering place where people connect – holds transformative power.Though Bishop's Restaurant closed at the end of 2021, his legacy endures through the countless chefs he mentored, the culinary philosophy he pioneered, and his ongoing work connecting people through food with charity-focused culinary tours. His advice to young people entering the profession resonates far beyond cooking: find something you truly love, and it will never feel like work.Send us your feedback

Filmmaker Kevin Eastwood returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss his latest documentary. The Society Page – which premieres on Knowledge Network on March 17 – is an in-depth look at the life, craft, and impact of Malcolm Parry, Vancouver's iconic society columnist. For 40 years, Malcolm was a stealthy presence at events, photographing arguably more Vancouverites and VIPs during that time period than anyone else for his influential society column in the Vancouver Sun. The Society Page delves into Malcolm's role in cataloguing and shaping the city's cultural landscape, as well as his work as a journalist and editor who launched the career of numerous other icons, including Douglas Coupland (without whom this film wouldn't have been made). In this fascinating episode, Kevin discusses Malcolm Parry, the role of a society columnist in any given city, and what we can learn about that city through their lens.

Episode 125 might be one of the most unique stories you've heard to this day! Sean Anthony is a born and raised Vancouverite but his path turned into an interesting one. A young Sean was not exposed to the game early on, and it wasn't until he made the move to St. George's School that he was introduced to the game and why it was so great. From there Sean played Provincial team, and had successful high school years but carries some interesting reflection on why his grade 12 year maybe wasn't as heavy a recruiting list as he would have hoped! Ending up at McGill, where the coach that recruited him had left made for another interesting experience where Sean persevered learning lots about himself and his game! In 2010 Sean was the 6th overall pick and adjusted to the pro game quickly! Fast forward to today, Sean is a long-standing PBA basketball player, with many career and league highlights! We also touch on things like perspective on business and life after hoops! A great story that shows how many paths there are for us and the game, tap in and hear more about Sean! Let's go!

If an IBM PC can see the light, why not a Mac? Original text by Joel Snyder, SunWorld July 1993. This review calls A/UX “complete”, but that's meaningless until another Vancouverite demonstrates that it is possible to port Doom (sans audio) to it! The moment it worked. The usual emulators won't run A/UX since it requires an MMU. You'll need Shoebill (abandoned by the developer now that he works at Apple) or QEMU's Quadra 800 emulation. Watch someone else suffer so you don't have to: netfreak walks you through installing, patching, and configuring A/UX on a Macintosh SE/30. Boy is it slow. netfreak maintains some useful A/UX resources and a knowledge base. Mr. TenFourFox/OldVCR Cameron Kaiser has documented some interesting MachTen hacks and notes. If you find MachTen crashes shortly after launch, you might have a faulty 68LC040 CPU. I hope you bought AppleCare. “[X11 performance was] … about six times faster than a Sun 3/50.” Six times as fast as slow is still slow. Macworld November 1992 reports “Even on a [Quadra] 950, please note, A/UX is slow–three times slower than Unix on a midrange Sun workstation.” A/UX Product Manager Richard Finlayson's unabridged demo of A/UX 2.0 from the April 1990 Apple VHS User Group Connection tape.
