Oh how the salt shaker beacon calms my Blood Alley fears. And cheeses and meats nourish both my soul and my tummy. And if I could speak to my flights of wine, I would tell them that I love them and all of the ways they make my taste buds come alive.…More »

Wow! How did I forget to write about the gyros? First, I love that it feels like you're walking into another little Mediterranean world inside Minervas. I'm never sure if they understand what I'm ordering, but whatever they give me inside that big…More »

I have never been more excited about ground up meat before in my life...

With a frenzy of people (why did I go to Granville Island on the weekend?) I waded my way to the front of the line. The choices...the selection..the butter chicken sausage???…More »

Thank you Twisted Fork. You saved a bland-food-night that was quickly going sour at another establishment. Lucky for me and a yelper's quick tip, I found out that there was no wait and we quickly changed our plans to include Twisted Fork.

Belly so-so…More »

You rocked my taste buds with some tapas I've never experienced before.

Buttery rich bone marrow, pink-pickled-quail-eggs and salty-shishito peppers...I would've packed it all away in my purse if there was anything left over!

Oh and watch out - that's…More »

Nights of drinking games...it has it all.

Oh, bring me your naysayers
Who say "The Heather has changed"
And I'll waltz right past the Heather's bar
Shabeen on my brain

Escaping out back
You'll hear lots of sounds
While your frown…More »

Cheese and bread always stops me in my tracks! And this was no different. Racing home from my weekly UBC farm visit, my tires screeched as I saw something cheesy out of the corner of my eye.

How I wish I had read Shain R's review. I had got my hopes…More »

The banter alone will make me visit time and time again. They'll keep you on your toes as you make your selection, there's no doubt!

Once I was told that there was an entire display case for soft cheeses, I was swooning. Cheeses were brought out,…More »

It's like going home. Homemade preserves line the wall, floor to ceiling bottles of wine welcome you atop the long flight of stairs, meat hanging in the fridge... okay so maybe home was nothing like this, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it was?

Marrow, marrow, marrow. Marrow, marrow, marrow.

So there was more, but that's where the mouthwatering happens with me. Oh? You want a better view of just how much imbibing and nibbling we did?

Cocktails, small, but the one I had was decent. I liked…More »
