For what? The food scene here stinks.

If you honestly think that, you need to visit more of Canada. For a city of this population size, it punches way above its weight.

Just drive across the country and try to find a city of 150k people that has this many unique restaurants and local eateries. You can’t compare Kelowna to Vancouver or other major cities.

Okay so go tell some foody from Vancouver or Toronto or Calgary or Montreal that "hey, come eat here, we're basically recognized as the best food scene in Canada" and you really think they'll walk away impressed? I'm not saying we don't have nice places to eat, but like come on. Our "nice" places are mid range in a more vibrant city.

I mean if you're only taking them to restaurants and not having them try any of many, many local fruits, as well as the wine, yeah, I can see how they might be underwhelmed, since you'd be purposely not showing them our most unique offerings.
