I love Burgoo. It had been too long since my last visit.

Last night my friends and I were on the hunt for some major comfort food. Burgoo was suggested and everyone was game.

There was hardly a wait, we got there as one table was leaving. Nice.

Okay okay. I've been here about 5,000 times since my last review because I have fallen in love SO HARD with this place.

They have officially earned my 5th star. Apparently I just had awful luck with the service the first time I was here.

I still get…More »

    The food here is absolutely amazing. The service however, not so much.

Can someone just park Mom's Truck outside my house? Because I'd really appreciate that.

I tried Mom's grilled cheese today for the first time. I went with sourdough bread, went half and half with cheddar and havarti, and got a dill pickle grilled…More »

This place rules. I feel really stupid for not knowing about it when I actually lived within walking distance. The first time I went, I ordered the Jame Dog with black beans. I'm pretty sure I just kept saying "oh my god" between every bite.

I'd only been to Hell's Kitchen once before for pizza a few years ago and couldn't really remember if I liked it that much, but I ate here on Thursday night with a friend and could barely waddle out the door when I was finished.

We were wandering down…More »

I love this place but never get to go because it is so out of the way.

I always get the same thing (why mess with perfection?) and it is the Gold Dragon bowl. You really can't go wrong. Naam fries? Good. Cheese? Good. Gravy? Good. Steamed veggies?…More »

I've been here a few times.

I'm really not into lineups so I try to go on the slower nights (if those even exist?) like Tuesdays. Usually I'm being dragged there by an eager first-timer.

I've tried a few of the dishes in the Vegetarian section of the…More »

I've eaten here twice. This place is pretty good.

The first time I was there, I was taking a friend out for a birthday dinner. I had the hummus melt which sounded, looked and TASTED delicious! And very very filling. It was awhile ago, so I don't…More »

Ahh, veggie poutine. I love that this is an option for me.

I thought my poutine days were over years ago when I stopped eating meat!

I'm never really near Davie, so I don't get to come here often, but when I do... oh man.

The veggie gravy tastes really…More »

I don't often venture this far down Robson, but after a failed hunt for veggie ramen, La Bretagne was there to save the day.

Usually I prefer sweet crepes, because my experience with savoury crepes has been "meh", no matter where I've ordered them,…More »

I don't often go down Granville to get liquored, but if I do, Johnnie Fox's is the place to be.

The Snakebites here are delicious and refreshing and $6.50 which seems pretty fair to me!

For once I actually ordered food and chose the Mac and Cheese. I…More »

Yum yum yum!!!

My first taste of Solly's was at work, when one of our clients generously dropped off 2 giant boxes of cinnamon buns! Regular and the chocolate ones (the chocolate ones don't have cinnamon)

I shared a chocolate one (it was f-ing amazing)…More »

Whenever I have a craving for some delicious and greasy Chinese food, this is the place I call.

I found Burnaby Palace on Yummyweb's Top 10 list one day and decided to give them a shot. Clearly the internet approved if they made it on that list.

Seriously?

Pick your own pasta? HEAVEN.

This is the Subway of Pasta. You pick your noodles, your meat (or not), your veggies, your sauce, your herbs and seasonings and your cheese! Holy freaking crap.

And if you don't want to pick your own pasta, they…More »
