101 - Gibson's Finest

This last week, we has the rare opportunity to get out on a day trip.  We went to Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast, a 45-minute ferry ride from Vancouver.  Here is the Molly's Reach diner made famous by nineteen seasons of the Canadian classic TV show "The Beachcombers".   It's been renovated since the show, so we were skeptical that it would be a tourist trap or a trendoid tapas bar.  Look at the folks with suits up front! 


As it happens, Molly's Reach is still informal (although a lot more contemporary than it was in the show), the people in good clothes just came from a wedding, the staff were friendly, the service was fast and excellent, and the food and liquor choices were outstanding and perfectly delicious.  Molly's reach is a Canadian icon that happens to be a great place to visit!
