Burger and Fries at Jules Cafe in South Burnaby
Countless times I have driven by Jules Cafe on the corner of Rumble and Royal Oak Ave in south Burnaby. Countless times I have looked in and wished I had time to stop for a taste. Today I took the time to stop and have a taste. Let me say, I was not disappointed by [...]
Rosemary Rocksalt Bagels; North Shore
Today we headed over to the North Shore to visit the Maplewood Farm on old Dollarton Highway and to cash in a coupon I received via Twitter for Siegel’s Bagel’s new retail storefront, Rosemary Rocksalt. Maplewood Farms…meh. Glad we visited but I doubt that we would ever return. Far too many up-sell items that make [...]
Okonomi Sushi Does Not Disappoint
I had a client lunch meeting in uptown New Westminster today and we agreed to meet at Okonomi Sushi on 6th Street. I am glad we did. For those who know New West, Okonomi Sushi is in the place that housed The Orange Room. It is a great room, comfortable with a classy but not [...]
Asa Sushi South Burnaby – My Favourite
When I find myself craving a quick sushi fix I always find my way back to my favourite hole-in-the-wall sushi place, Asa Sushi in South Burnaby. Asa Sushi is located in a non-descript little strip mall along with a 7-11 convenience store, a vet and a hairdresser. Not the most glamourous of locations, but [...]
Lucky Gate Restaurant; The Best Northern Chinese Food In Town?
The Lucky Gate restaurant (best northern Chinese food in town; according to their menu) is located in a kind of nondescript, rundown block of Austin Avenue in Coquitlam. And, the fact of the matter is, they make some of the best Chinese food I have had out here in the burbs. For lunch today my [...]
Aberdeen Centre; Shanghai-Shanghai
Over the weekend we headed out to the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, Aberdeen Centre to be precise for lunch. While there, we had lunch at Shanghai-Shanghai in the food court. My girls were mesmerized watching the young lady behind the counter making dumplings from start to finish.
Spud Shack Fry Company Wins the 2013 Poutine Challenge
Remember awhile ago I visited a little place in New Westminster called The Spud Shack? Yeah? I liked the food. Well, I suppose I kind of gushed about their food. Well, apparently I am not the only one who enjoyed their food. I just read on my favourite Vancouver food blogger’s site that The Spud Shack [...]
Big Al’s Diner; The Mount Baker Breakfast
I snuck out of the country this morning just so that I could get a plate of biscuits and gravy with eggs over-easy. It is amazing to me how you just go across the border, out of Canada and into Washington State and you can get a meal like this one pictured. In Vancouver, Canada [...]
The Spud Shack Fry Company Delights
Through my contacts on Twitter I found a new source of culinary delights on the third level of the newly revitalized and expanded New Westminster Skytrain Station; a station that is becoming an entertainment and foodie’s delight. The Spud Shack Fry Company offers: Belgian frites. Poutine. Cod and frites. Halibut and frites. And local beer [...]
Rogue Kitchen and Wetbar; Trio of Fries
I had heard about the food at Rogue Kitchen and Wetbar from a fellow foodie and was really itching to try it out. Seeing as I was at a meeting in downtown Vancouver all day today, I made a point of popping into Rogue Wetbar on my way home (even though I had lunch courtesy [...]
