December "Food & Drink" Issue

December is sort of like gay Christmas... Oh no wait, it is gay Christmas! And gay Chanukah gay Kwanzaa and even gay Muharram! So whatever holiday our readers our celebrating, this is the issue of V-Rag to get it off with a bang. We have a great food and drink spectacular, with profiles on some of our favourite local bars and restaurants. And just as a little early Christmas present, these fine establishments have provided their signature food and drink recipes so you can make your own gourmet holiday meals. Also in this issue, we catch up with local superstar Bif Naked and talk about spirituality, surviving cancer, marrital bliss... oh and lots of bananas! We've added yet another monthly column to our already packed roster with Wasted Thoughts, a regular from Don't Quit Your Gay Job's hottie Rob Easton. And speaking of hot bar boys, that's the theme of our latest photo spread, Hot Cup of Cheer. We've rounded up some of the hottest bartenders from around Vancouver for sexy Santas, reindeers, elves and... Mrs. Claus? Oh dear, where did it all go wrong?
