Courting Controversy
Barbara Schellenberg calls her North Van café Ethical Kitchen, but some vegetarians have taken issue with the meat-serving restaurant’s claim. So she’s named her new eatery, which just opened at 1420 Commercial Drive, Controversial Kitchen. There’s one menu for herbivores and another for carnivores, which features grass-fed organic meat.

Live On The Drive caught up with Doug Thoms, the director of Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Mark Downey, who plays "Pink" in this live musical playing until the 14th at the Rio.
