Also, a handy guide to all-things-skewered, and for home cooks spending time with friends or family in Seattle this summer, a map of the city's killer butcher shops. Check out all the meaty coverage.

VANCOUVER—It's been a celebratory carnivorous cavalcade across the Eater network this week: Here in Vancouver we've checked out the city's best barbecue in Eater Scenes, learned about Shirakawa's authentic Japanese $100 wagyu steaks, mapped the city's 21 Most Iconic Meat Dishes and much, much more.

VANCOUVER—It's the restaurant that everyone can't wait to check out — chef Alex Chen's Boulevard Kitchen and Oyster Bar — and before its opening in a few weeks time, Eater Vancouver reveals the full menu. And, if it's a meal with a view that you're looking for, then there can be no better than floating through the clouds between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains on the Peak2Peak Gondola for a special Bearfoot Bistro dinner. Check out the view in the Photo Interlude. [EVAN]
