Awards Celebration Tonight!

Although Saturday night is my usual roost at Ten Ten Tapas, tonight will have a different level of excitement!

To celebrate being the winner of the Georgia Straight Golden Plates Award for #1 Best Restaurant with Live Entertainment, I will perform and host this tonight's celebration and jam session with many of the musicians who have contributed to the great sounds that emanate from this classy bistro! 

Come on down TONIGHT and enjoy a fantastic event!

Caucus time!

Hey Friends and Fans below the 49th Parallel!

Another political comment post at Caucus time, because we are ALL witnessing the possible fall of the (Roman) Empire here, so wake up!


Did you see John Oliver's show this week? Do yourself a favor and do a channel or YouTube search.

You can go go to http://donaldjdrumpf.com/ (Trump's REAL name), and download a safe browser extension for chrome that replaces the word 'Trump' to 'Drumpf' everywhere it shows up on your computer. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/drumpfinator/hcimhbfpiofdihhdnofbdlhjcmjopilp

A bit of fun at the expense of that erudite, gentlemanly, savvy, non-misogynistic, wise candidate, hair-club-for-men, Donald J Drumpf! 

Share your Liberal views and don't take any poopoo blahblah from the Right wing purveyors in your midst!

Parade tonite

Not only is there a great parade of classic and original jazz tunes tonite at TenTenTapas.com, but they have unveiled the Seafood Parade, and it is a dandy!

5 time Fine Dining Award winning Executive Chef Paul Stephens has created the Seafood Parade... 

Calamari, fish poppers, prawns, albacore tuna & red snapper served together on a platter with dips and citrus micro greens- add a perfectly paired wine and bliss achieved....






Come on down for a great evening!

This Weekend in Blue

I don't know which is better- the food, the atmosphere, or the music- but the perfect trifecta awaits you Saturday (other nights too) at Ten Ten Tapas!

I start my stylin' set at 7pm, and the musical guests start to arrive and help rock the house!

If you didn't know, the Executive Chef Paul Stephens is a five time winner of the 'Best Fine Dining Outside Vancouver' and he's at TenTen now!



Lots of cool venues coming up such as Shady Island (Fri Feb 26), and many more around town... Always updated
