BOILING POINT: BOULEVARD KITCHEN & OYSTER BAR ANNOUNCES SUMMER 2016 DATES FOR SUNDAY SEAFOOD BOIL SERIES

Popular Dinner Series Returns to Restaurant’s Wrap-Around Outdoor Patio this July, August

Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar has announced the return of its wildly popular Sunday Seafood Boil Series, which was a sold-out success in its inaugural year last summer and will again take centre stage on the restaurant’s streetside patio in the heart of downtown Vancouver this July and August.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. on July 10 and continuing each Sunday through Aug. 28, Chef Alex Chen and team will serve up a fresh-caught bounty of jumbo prawns, clams, mussels, crawfish and Dungeness crab with all the fixings — including potatoes, corn, bacon cornbread and dessert — for a series of classic, East Coast-inspired seafood boils served family-style on communal tables.

Upon arrival, guests will be treated to a VIP reception featuring complimentary glasses of Haywire’s ‘The Bub’, a sparkling wine blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the Okanagan Valley, before tucking into a veritable seafood feast piled high on butcher’s paper.

“We were thrilled with the overwhelming response to our inaugural Seafood Boil Series last year, so it was an easy decision for us to bring it back again in 2016,” says Boulevard Director of Operations Steve Edwards. “Chef Alex is already renowned for his seafood-focused menu, and these events truly give his classic technique and training the spotlight that it deserves.”
