About The Best Ever Lifestyle Guide
BestEver.Guide explores the people, places, food, wine, and experiences that make life feel more fully lived.
WELCOME, WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE HERE
We’ve never cared much about luxury for its own sake. What we care about is aliveness. A peach from the Okanagan can do that just as easily as a Michelin star restaurant. So can a crisp bottle of white shared with friends on a patio, or a bakery that’s been in someone’s family for three generations. The thing they all have in common isn’t prestige. It’s that they pull you in and make you a participant instead of a spectator.
Best Ever Lifestyle Guide Inc. is an editorial hospitality company. We help people build real relationships with the places, food, wine, and people behind the experiences that actually stick with them.
Our Founder’s Story
Michelle Stewart
Co-Founder, Story Strategist, and Certified Professional Coach
Michelle has spent 20 years in digital publishing, audience development, and content strategy across lifestyle, food, wine, travel, and wellness. She knows how search works, how AI discovery works, and how editorial builds the kind of trust that advertising can’t buy.
She launched BestEver.Guide because she kept noticing the same gap: the best restaurants, stays, wines, and products weren’t always the most visible ones. And the most visible ones weren’t always the best. This site is her answer to that.
She also wears hearing aids and has opinions about restaurant acoustics, which turns out to be more relevant than you’d think.
Steve Stewart
Co-Founder, Photographer and Red Seal Chef
Steve is a Red Seal chef, food and beverage photographer, and WSET-certified wine specialist. He shoots everything you see on this site, develops the recipes, and is the person most likely to tell you a dish isn’t worth ordering even when it’s his own.
He’s spent years working across professional kitchens, behind the camera, and increasingly in wine — completing both levels of the Wines of BC Ambassador program and WSET Level 1. That combination of cooking, photography, and wine knowledge is pretty rare, and it shows up in the work.
If something makes it onto Best Ever with Steve’s name on it, it earned it.
