Happy Sunday! My husband ran the Vancouver Half Marathon this morning, and
after resting a bit at home, we headed to the fun on Greek Day on Broadway. It
was as hot as last year, and we ate the same delicious food we enjoyed in
2022.
Greek Sausages from Camp Metamorphosis BC
We started walking the stretch of West Broadway from Macdonald Street, and the
first not-for-profit food booth we spotted was Camp Metamorphosis British
Columbia which supports Greek youth. They're selling
Authentic Greek Sausages.
I'm famished! The sausage is perfectly cooked with a snappy skin and juicy
interior, but I absolutely love the warmed pita with tzatziki and feta cheese.
It's perfect!

Pork Souvlaki from the Greek Orthodox Community of Surrey & the Fraser
Valley
We loved the Pork Souvlaki last year and got it again this year. The bread
they serve it with is so soft. Yum!

Loukoumades from Hellenic Canadian Senior's Society of Metropolitan Vancouver
I am so happy! It took a year, but we finally tried loukoumades from the
Hellenic Canadian Senior's Society. We failed to order from them last year, so
getting the traditional Greek doughnut to support the seniors is our priority
this year.

Lamb Chops from the Cretan Association
We ordered a 1/4 kg lamb chop combo from the Cretan Association last year and
got it again this year. The lamb chops have a beautifully caramelized exterior
while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. We ate it near where they were
grilling the meat, and it smelled amazing. The high heat from grilling helped
seal the natural juices from the lamb, resulting in a mouthwatering bite each
time. It was served with fries, pita, and tzatziki sauce. Dip everything in
that tzatziki!

My husband also spotted my brother enjoying loukoumades, so seeing and briefly
catching up with him at Greek Day on Broadway 2023 was a pleasant surprise.
After enjoying our lamb chops, we walked the rest of Broadway that's closed
off to see if there were still any non-profit food booths, and we couldn't find
any, so we decided to go home. The heat, walking around, and being unable to sit started getting to
me, so we took the bus home.
