Robert Lee

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in my life! My wife, my mom and my grandmothers. Thank you for all the love, support, home cooked meals and life lessons over the years. Our family is lucky to have such strong women holding everything together…because the men are clearly just winging it 😂😂❤️

All the sweat and hard work that goes into every competition, what happens behind the scenes is something truly special to witness. Cheering from the sidelines, camera in hand, capturing the intensity, the nerves, the teamwork, and those fleeting moments that make it all worth it. From the early stages of conceptualization to seeing each dish come alive, that journey never stops inspiring me. Every plate tells a story, and that’s what makes attending the @greatkitchenparty so meaningful. Six of Vancouver’s talented chefs took the stage this year, each vying for a spot in the Canadian Culinary Championship finals, happening in Ottawa this January 2026. A heartfelt congratulations to Chef Jaeyoung (Jay) Park @chefjyp of @blvdyvr , who will be representing Vancouver! It’s been amazing watching his growth these past few months — training tirelessly alongside @chefalexchen and the incredible @blvdyvr team. True one team, one dream energy. Silver & People’s Choice Award: Chef Robert Lee 🫶🏻 @robleecooking — @glowbalrestaurant Bronze: Chef Balavant (Bal) Ajagaonkar @chef_bal_ — @desilounge.yvr And to all the incredible chefs who competed: Chef Luke Boswell @lukeboswell123 — @bar_corso Chef TJ Conwi @tjconwi — @onovancouver x @rerootkitchen María Ponce (@mariaponcebar ) - Chupito (@chupitococteleria ) Your creativity, effort, and heart truly shone through. It’s a privilege to witness and capture these moments — the stories, the camaraderie, and the passion that fuel our culinary community.

What a night at Great Kitchen Party Vancouver where food, teamwork, and purpose came together. Chef Robert Lee brought home the silver and the People’s Choice Awards, but above all, what we cherish most is how we rallied as a team, shared the inspiration behind our dish, and showed what truly matters to us: sharing stories and our passion through food.

Go all in for Big Cut Thursdays at @glowbalrestaurant ! 💯 🥩 We came to try this while also celebrating our anniversary and it was the PERFECT meal. Priced at $165 for a 54 oz tomahawk, or $135 for a 34oz porterhouse steak with jumbo garlic prawns, it’s available every Thursday evening, and includes all the sides too! Appetizers: 🦆 Foie gras pâté – Truffle, candied hazelnut, porcini charcoal crumbs, and brioche. Rich, buttery, and indulgent. 🤍 Burrata cheese – Served with slow-roasted beets, orange, crème fraîche, endive, pistachio vinaigrette, puffed wild rice & pistachio crumble. Creamy, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The Main Event: 🥩 54oz Canadian Angus Beef tomahawk steak – Perfectly grilled, tender, and packed with flavor. A true showstopper! The Sides (All Included!): 🥗 Glowbal chop salad – Crisp, fresh, and tossed in a zesty chili lime vinaigrette. We LOVED this! 🧀 Truffle gruyère cream gnocchi – Rich, cheesy, and absolutely decadent. 🥔 Patatas bravas – Crispy, golden, and served with a bold aioli. 🥦 Crispy brussel sprouts and heirloom carrots as well! Drinks we had: 🫧 Bubble Bath (non-alcoholic) – A fun, citrusy, sip made bubbly tableside! So fun with the rubber ducky! 📸 The Portrait (non-alcoholic) – A beautifully crafted, fruit-forward mocktail. Delicious AND super cool! 🥃 Smoked Old Fashioned – A bold and smoky classic, smoked tableside with a very cool presentation! If you’re a steak lover, Big Cut Thursday is a must-try! And of course, we couldn’t leave without dessert— the lava cake was perfectly gooey, and the cheesecake was first to be eaten with its lemon sorbet and yuzu curd 🤤 Thank you so much @glowbalrestaurant & @chelle_lan for the invite, & Chef @robleecooking for an incredible meal!❤️ #media #glowbalgroup #glowbalrestaurant #anywherevancouver #dishedvan #vancouverfoodie #vancouverfood #yvrdateideas

Creating memories with @glowbalrestaurant for their Big Cut Thursdays 🥩

HAPPY HOUR AT GLOWBAL! Executive Chef Robert Lee @robleecooking at Glowbal Restaurant @glowbalrestaurant @glowbalgroup in Downtown Vancouver has designed a Happy Hour available daily from 2:30PM to 5:30PM. Here are just some items to try! My favourite was Prawns with Chili Sauce inspired by Chef Robert’s grandmother’s recipe. This dish comes with prawns in a fermented chili bean sauce and grilled pita. The Glazed Pork Belly Bao was very tasty and had kimchi aioli and marinated cucumber. If you like sweet and spicy, the Sambal Glazed Wings with pickled daikon is a good choice. I also really enjoyed the prawn chips with Salmon Poke and ikura. There was the crispy on the inside and creamy on the inside Fried Macaroni & Cheese with truffle aioli. A nice light dish was the Beet Salad with Greek yogurt and pistachio vinaigrette. The Humboldt Calamari was very crispy and tender. And not to be missed are the selection of West Coast and East Coast Oysters. For drinks we tried The Roof with tequila, aperol and jalapeno agave syrup as well as The Melon with Absolut lime & watermleon vodka and cotton candy. Glowbal Restaurant is located at 590 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC. #foodgressing #vancouvercanada #vancouvereats #vancouverphotographer #vancouverfood #vancouverlife #vancouverblogger #vancouver_canada #vancouverbusiness #vancouvermom #vancouver_ig #vancouverevents #vancouverfoodies #vancouverrestaurants #vancouverofficial #foodielove #foodielover #foodiefriday #foodieheaven #travelpost #travelinstagram
