Press & Reviews The Province, Sunday, July 22, 2007 "Fun to be a basketcase with these specialty noshes" If Rufus Teague BBQ Sauces, Fudge is My Life Chocolate Dessert Sauces and Langford Foods Petals Shortbread and Garden Bars set you to salivating, you'll love Mad About Food at 1632 West 3rd in Vancouver. MAF is Allyson Nelson's baby, a company nurtured on an explosion of fabulous artisan foods from all over the world. Their primary business is putting together gorgeous gift baskets containing the specialty food items Nelson has trolled numerous fancy food shows and organizations to nail down. Some are available nowhere in Canada but her shop and she also carries non-food items to round out theme baskets. For more info, call 604-736-2510 or go to madaboutfood.net.   The Georgia Straight, June 28 to July 5, 2007 "Food of the Week" EaBurr, WePine? Some city-hall minion is sketching the banners right now to identify the food-centric area east of Burrard around 2nd and 3rd avenues. The newest addition is Mad About Food (1632 West 3rd Avenue. 604-736-2510), which is loaded with edibles like Fudge is My Life chocolate dessert sauces ($9.79 for 284 grams), Rufus Teague barbecue sauces ($8.99 for 375 millilitres), and -- calling all Aussies -- Medlow Fine Gels in berry and citrus flavours ($2.99 for 45 grams; $5.99 for 170 grams). Spoil yourself or, if you're after a treat that definitely won't be regifted, ask them to put together a basket. Owner Allyson Nelson is so attuned to the vibe of the city, she even does vegan. We'd love to hear from you! Phone: 604.736.2510, or toll-free: 1.866.736.2510
