Revolver's flirting with me.
They're caressing my coffee-loving tendencies with familiarities like the Chemex and Kone combination I have at home - though their sexy line-up of the handled version positioned 'just so' along the brew bar weakens the…More »
Jonathan Rogers Park, huh? And to think, all this time we just referred to it as "The Park on 7th." This name is more than likely not only a statement of how much of a staple this park is to the neighbourhood, but also to how rad the actual grounds…More »

A couple of things to note about the Juice Truck:

NapkinNapkinNapkinNapkin, no bun! Jeeebus, this pork. This pristine porking piggy pecks at my palate in perfectly pleasant ways.
It's messy, it's tender, it's moist, it's sweet, it's filling my mouth with all sorts of good.

Comfort-food is for suckers, I go for the drinks.
