Publisher's Note With the unseasonably warm weather we are experiencing, groundhogs and meteorologists have predicted an early spring! People are marking their calendars for the Family Day long weekend on February 19. Daylight saving time begins March 10, coinciding with school spring break from March 18 to 29, followed by the Easter long weekend.

Tragically, a devastating fire engulfed Super Grocer on the evening of January 26.

Businesses and residents faced numerous challenges, including smoke and water damage and power outages. People rallied to support each other, exemplifying what an amazingly tight-knit community Steveston is. Read about the fundraiser that Steveston United Church has planned to help support Super Grocer’s employees who lost their jobs (page 29).

Looking back, Christmas was magical. The rainy skies parted as Santa arrived by boat on December 3. People enjoyed old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage rides thanks to the Steveston Merchants Association and Tourism Richmond, raising money for the Richmond Christmas Fund. Steveston merchants created beautiful holiday displays; we congratulate the grand prize winner, Anar Persian Grill, for transforming the restaurant’s exterior into a charming gingerbread house.

On the cover are Brian Cho and Marian Yoon, owners of Toast to Coast Brunch Bar. A little over a year ago, this new restaurant opened on the corner of Moncton Street and First Avenue; it is a common sight to see people lined up outside as they await a Korean fusion brunch.

Over the years, Stevestonites have been curious about what would go in Onni’s Imperial Landing, situated on the boardwalk. Good news! Steveston Waterfront Hotel opened in mid-December, offering visitors 32 beautifully appointed suites.

We welcome Modern Med Aesthetics, Ochi Fashion, and 50’s Burger Restaurant to the village. After 20 years of business, Wool & Wicker closed in December. Steveston Winemakers is closing their storefront on March 12 and has merged their winemaking operations with Grapes 2 Wine on Bridgeport Road.

Exciting changes are underway in the village!

The new Steveston Community Centre is currently under construction, and stakeholders have been invited to learn about the Centre’s programs, events, and developments. This includes an update on the construction progress and other exciting activities in the vicinity.

In an effort to ensure public safety and enhance the enjoyment of Steveston, the City has been actively seeking input for its Steveston Streetscape Plan. Stakeholders' feedback will contribute to establishing guiding principles for future improvements related to the character, design, and overall experience of streets and sidewalks in Steveston.

We are looking forward to the longer and warmer days of spring (and hopefully a lot more sunshine!) so we can get out and enjoy every ounce of this beautiful seaside village.

TOAST TO COAST:

Steveston's Korean Fusion Brunch Destination Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos submitted and by Sandra Steier

A little over a year ago, Toast to Coast arrived on Steveston’s brunch scene and has gained a significant following. It is common to see lineups outside the popular little restaurant as people eagerly await a Korean fusion brunch.

Brian Cho and Marian Yoon are the restaurant’s owners. Marian prefers the title “creative director” as she works behind the scenes to bring forth new ideas and implements menu curation, marketing, and design. Brian is Toast to Coast’s executive chef and oversees the culinary team and kitchen management.

As a single mother of two children, Marian gave up her career as an occupational therapist and moved to Canada in 2007. She was exhausted from her busy life and wanted to take a break.

haul journey, and here I am doing something I had never thought I could do, and I love it!

I’ve always thought of my job as someone who takes a load off our customers; who likes having to cook and clean up? We also provide them with delicious food and a great experience.”

Brian’s father immigrated to Canada in the 1980s as a chef. Brian grew up seeing him cook a variety of cuisines.

He says, “Although I was a junior tennis player and wanted to pursue that dream for a while, I quickly realized my true passion lay in the culinary field. When my father opened one of the first sushi restaurants in Vancouver in 2002, I became his apprentice and started my journey as a chef.”

She explains, “That break turned into a long8

February 15 - April 15, 2024

They have extensive experience in the restaurant industry, having opened their first sushi restaurant in 2010 in Coquitlam. Over the last 13 years, they have had the privilege of serving Ladner, North Vancouver, Steveston and White Rock.

Marian says, "Not many people know this, but we opened Mega Sushi in Steveston. We knew we had to start something here when we visited the area. We fell in love with the sense of community, the people, and the support small business owners have for one another, and we are thrilled to be back. Over the years that we served the community, we donated over $20,000 to various charities and formed lasting relationships. Steveston has a very special place in our hearts.”

“In 2022, we took a risk and pivoted to Korean cuisine and returned to our favourite neighbourhood,” Brian says.

The partners felt there was a shortage of places to have brunch in Steveston. Marian remarks, “When we were gearing up for the opening, many people walked in and said they were so happy to see a brunch spot, especially Korean fusion. While several restaurants serve brunch, we provide the unique twist people crave.”

“It’s so nice to be back. Some locals recognize us when they walk in, and it’s heartwarming to be remembered. Local businesses have been

February 15 - April 15, 2024

amazingly welcoming, sharing about us on their social media and dining in to show their support.”

“K- anything is so popular these days, and we are proud to be bridging Korean cuisine with a classic brunch menu.

We wanted more people to try Korean-inspired dishes that are still familiar to them.”

whipped cream, seasonal fruits, and housemade strawberry coulis.

Brian’s personal favourite is the Hokey Pokey Bulgogi burger. “I love all the different textures with the juicy bulgogi, crispy onion and melted cheese. It’s super filling and well balanced.”

“We pride ourselves in only using high-quality ingredients and making almost all our menu and sauces in-house. We dry-age our bacon in-house, hand-make all hash blocks and cubes (we 3-D printed the molds!), use absolutely no MSG, use non-GMO ingredients, and use real Prosecco in our pancake batter. We make all our own pickles and sauces and try our best to use locally sourced ingredients. We don’t like cutting corners and want to serve delicious food prepared with care and love.”

“There isn’t a Korean restaurant in the area, so the fact that we offer Korean-inspired cuisine makes us stand out.”

There are many popular menu items to choose from; one of the most requested dishes is Korean Chicken and Waffles. It’s described as a perfected waffle topped with juicy and crispy Korean-style fried chicken served with a side of maple syrup and honey-infused Korean dipping (or drizzle) sauce. Another top pick is the Korean Eggs Benny, which is bulgogi (Korean sweet beef), kimchi jam, and poached eggs served on top of hand-cut brioche buns served with hash blocks. The bulgogi marinade is an authentic Korean recipe from Brian’s father.

Charlotte’s Pancakes (named after Marian’s granddaughter) are another crowd-pleaser.

This stack of fluffy pancakes is made with flavours of Prosecco and is served with fresh 10

Marian’s favourite is the Tteok-galbi Benny. It has two Korean-style beef patties served on top of rice (instead of their usual brioche bun) with yuzu and kimchi jam and is topped with perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise.

The extensive drink menu spotlights a variety of alcoholic, non-alcoholic and coffee options. Guest favourites include matcha latte, cappuccino brûlée (torched on top!), Toast to Coast’s mimosa, and Brunch Punch.

The rewards of operating their new business are plentiful, and customers’ happy faces are at the top of the list.

Marian says, “It feels so nice to know that we can reach so many people and positively impact our community. It’s also very rewarding to serve Korean food we ate growing up.”

“If you’re new to Korean food, you’ll enjoy the twist to your classic brunch favourites, and I promise, you will want more. We extend a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us through our first year back, and we look forward to many more years of culinary adventures in Steveston,” Brian says.

13800 No. 3 Rd, Richmond, BC (near Dyke Rd) 778-991-9169 PathfinderDogRanch.com A TALE OF RESILIENCE AND COMMUNITY: The Search and Rescue of Kumori My husband, Kevin, and I sincerely want to thank everyone involved in the search for our Old English Sheepdog puppy, Kumori.

On December 10, on the way to a dog event, Kumori ran loose and was hit by a car. She continued to run off after the accident.

A very kind lady, Judith, saw a dog running off No.1 Road, chased after Kumori in her car, and was able to capture her with the help of two gentlemen. Judith went back to Steveston Village in search of us while leaving her contact information with the dog parade organizer and everyone she came across.

Upon learning that Kumori was hit by a car earlier, she immediately brought Kumori to the SPCA and then to the vet for a check-up.

It was a bit like playing a blindfolded tag, as Kumori most likely lost her name tag with our contact information during the run. Her microchip also failed to be scanned, probably blocked by the sweater she wore that day.

After reuniting with Kumori at the veterinary clinic, the doctors ran some tests on her and 16

StevestonInsider.com

only found her paw pads to be scraped, but nothing serious overall.

This whole chain of events took us a while to piece together. We found out during our search and through Judith's experience that day, that many bystanders came to help, provided directions, and searched for our puppy. A man with his kid also picked me up from the road to help with the chase. We cannot imagine how many people got involved that day.

We want to send our gratitude to those who helped us in any way that day. Kumori is now safe and happy at home with us. I posted a more detailed story of what happened that day if anyone wishes to read more about it via Facebook under the username Ccs Con. Happy New Year!

STEVESTON WATERFRONT HOTEL: The Perfect Escape from City Life Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos submitted

Visitors to Steveston quickly discover what we all know and love about the area. It’s a gem of a location with its waterfront vista and extensive dyke trails, quaint shopping district stocked with one-of-a-kind shops, some of Richmond’s best restaurants, and a variety of museums to discover Steveston’s rich history.

It’s a place people dream of moving to or at least spending some quality time relaxing in our slower-paced community.

In mid-December 2023, Steveston Waterfront Hotel opened its doors.

Kate Francois is Onni Group’s Director of Hospitality Marketing. She says, “We wanted to create a space where modern life seamlessly blends with the historic charm of Steveston Village. Our apartment-style suites offer the unique opportunity to experience Steveston and beyond with accommodations that feel like home from the moment you arrive.”

Steveston Waterfront Hotel contains 32 beautiful studios and one, two and threebedroom suites. Some of the suites have waterfront views while others feature neighbourhood views. The hotel is located on the ground level of buildings Starboard and Port at Imperial Landing on Bayview Street; it was developed this past year and was completed in time for the opening on December 15.

StevestonInsider.com

February 15 - April 15, 2024

This is the perfect place to suggest friends or family stay if you cannot accommodate guests at your home or are expecting a large crowd for a family reunion, wedding or other special occasion.

Families appreciate the combination of extra space, private bedrooms and the conveniences of a kitchen and in-suite laundry. The two and three-bedroom suites are very popular. Steveston Waterfront Hotel even has designated pet-friendly suites.

“Our property invites visitors to experience Steveston like a local with their own apartment complete with the comforts of home and the thoughtful details of a hotel, think cozy robes, welcome treats and luxurious bath amenities. A techbased apart-hotel concept, guests enjoy the convenience of contactless check-in and out via our digital key system. Our digital guest portal provides 24-hour access to FAQ, neighbourhood and itinerary ideas, and a chat feature connecting them with our Guest Services team should they need assistance. And unlike traditional hotels, each of our rooms is a spacious suite ranging in size from 330 sq ft to 1085 sq ft featuring a living and kitchen area plus bedroom(s) and bathroom(s),” Kate says.

“We welcome any length of stay between one and 90 days.”

Just beyond the doorstep is the Steveston boardwalk, perfect for a morning walk or run. Kitchens feature a complete premium appliance package, including an integrated fridge, dishwasher, stove, oven, and microwave,

February 15 - April 15, 2024

plus all the cookware and dinnerware you need to create a lovely meal at home. The junior suites feature a slightly smaller package with a fridge, cooktop, microwave, and cookware and dinnerware. Except for the junior suites, all feature an in-suite energy-efficient washer and dryer.

Kate says, “We have partnered with Fern & Petal for our signature line of bath amenities that includes shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion and a beautiful face spray. It was important to us to find a company that could work with us to create custom blends for our collection and put sustainability first. A small family-run company based in Vancouver, all their products are natural, high quality and they plant a tree with every order.”

“Guests love the spacious suites, comfortable furnishings, views from our waterfront suites and the walkable location with access to the waterfront and heart of the village.”

While summer tends to be the busiest season for Steveston and the area in general, Kate and her team look forward to promoting Steveston as a fabulous year-round destination with plenty to do and discover. Like other hotels, rates will vary with length of stay, demand and seasonality.

Locals can take advantage of 20% off Steveston Waterfront Hotel’s best nightly rates (visit the hotel’s website for details under B.C. resident’s rate).

“We will also be running different neighbour offers during the year and encourage people to sign up for our newsletters to be the first to know when those are released.” Visit stevestonwaterfronthotel.com/sign-up.

“Tourism Richmond is a fantastic partner, and we’re excited to work with them to bring more awareness to Steveston.”

“We look forward to partnering with different restaurants and attractions to help our guests make the most of their stay in every season.

We have an existing partnership with Village Bikes, offering a discount on rentals and will be introducing a package in the spring. We have also worked with Sinfully the Best to create custom welcome treats, and guests enjoy a discount when shopping there.”
