DL Kits | Photo by James RadymskiBig news for fried chicken fans, pool people and beach bums alike: DownLow Chicken has landed in Kits. Finally! Because East Van shouldn’t get to have all the unfussy, greasy fun this summer. You can now get DL right by the pool, overlooking the ocean, and with a cold drink in hand. The move comes courtesy of Batch, the local crew known for turning public spaces into solid hangout zones with good food, local drinks, and just enough chill.

Chef Angus An’s latest opening, Sainam, is officially up and running on Davie Street. We swung by for a friends-and-family service over the weekend, and if what we tasted is any indication, this place is going to draw a lot of repeat visits. Built as a tribute to the bold flavours of Thailand’s Isaan region, Sainam is all about fermented, fiery, and deeply savoury cooking. The menu is tight, intentional, and built for sharing.
