If you haven't yet been to Seasonal 56, it's time to start making plans.
Seasonal 56 is a restaurant cleverly tucked away from suspecting eyes in the middle of one of the Fraser Valley's busiest industrial parks, Gloucester Industrial Estates. Located right on 56th Avenue in the Township of Langley's community called Aldergrove, it is the perfect place for lunch or dinner for anyone who has to travel the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy. 1) to or from Vancouver, Coquitlam, Surrey, and Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, or Hope.
We were guests at a promotional dinner at Seasonal 56 a couple of weeks ago, served up by Chef Adrian Beaty and his wife Shannon, who pride themselves on sourcing and serving local organic meats and vegetables and either house-made or locally made fare.
Seasonal 56 Chef Adrian and wife Shannon are happy to share
their passion for fresh, locally sourced and prepared food
Throughout the evening, we experienced myriad taste explosions from goodies that included (but were not limited to) local organic greens and cheeses, pheasant pot pie, pork belly from Gelderman Farms, and Muscovy duck breast from Thiessen Farms. With everything, we sipped Lotusland Vineyard's Enigma, a wine made from a blend of Gamay and Pinot Meunier grapes.
What's telling to me is that the local game, fowl, meat farmers, as well as the organic vegetable and cheese producers, regularly come to Seasonal 56 to eat the expertly prepared foods they supply.
We enjoyed our experience so much that we went back there for lunch yesterday and ordered a turkey take-home dinner for Christmas Day. I can't imagine anything could be easier—or tastier.
I'll add the wine.
