A la Mode Bumbleberry Pie
You know you're getting close to A la Mode, in Vancouver's Granville Island Public Market, when you pass people balancing cappuccinos and juicy wedges of pie topped with ice cream (a la mode). They're looking for a spot to perch and enjoy the fresh pie from the takeout owned by Angus McKay, who says the secret to his success "is fresh pies. I have them coming out of the oven all the time." McKay claims to have introduced the first bumbleberry pie (a combo of blackberries, raspberries, apples and rhubarb) to the West Coast.
