Le petit déjeuner pour grande bouche

See All Lists
Breakfast time, eating out usually means alot of food for guys. A place to hang and talk about the previous weeks or nights events. For me, it's a place to reconnect and refresh. The lure of greasy sausages and eggs overeasy is just too much sometimes.

Had breaky with my little girl, her "man" friend and my brother.
An interesting start to the day.
Said "Man" friend was into cars.  That I liked.  He seemed entrepreneurial (did I spell it right?) and older.
But we all had one thing in common besides…More »

God, I wonder how many reviews and check-ins I have here. Not nearly as much as I should have.  It's just so hard to keep up with Sachi san on this one!
Brought the kids here for a quick lunch with brother Jay (who still hasn't written his review…More »

When I lived nearby we'd come here for breakfast every weekend and sometimes for takeout on movie night.  The cook and his wife were really nice, the food was good and it was cheap.  We used to come for the breakfast special.  Who could resist the…More »

Love Joes Grill, but when we got here, it was closed for the night.

Too late.  Next time.

They've got a great breakfast selection and like Mike P's review, this place serves up terrific breakfasts!

Will have to bring my greasy breakfast buddy to try out…More »

They have a slogan.  "Good place to start your diet. Good place to end your diet!!"

So true.  After so many years, the eclectic Sophies is still going strong serving up their amazing pancakes and still serving up food that is healthy.
The latter…More »

Have you ever had one of those lazy afternoons where you call up a dear friend to have brunch and not need to really say too much to each other?  It's just two people having a day out, a common bond between each other and the food.
This day, at Two…More »

It was good, the seating for our group was a bit, tight, but we seem to be a close friendly bunch of folk so no problem.

Three course meal for about $25.00.  You get a choice of salad/appy, a main course Lamb or Halibut and desert.

For me, I had the…More »

Recently updated lists from Larry L.

Great places come and gone. (1)

Places that I would repeatedly go to that were good, but are sadly no more.

You call this Italian? (5)

Places that serve Italian inspired food.
So...Is it Italian or is it Ispirando!
Mostly this list is about Japanese or Asian influenced Italian food.  When I tried Italian food in Japan it was quite different from what my friends from Italiy would make andit lead me to this.  Fusion.

Steveston Village (40)

I still have to work on this list, but it's growing.
Lots of stuff to do in Steveston Village.  
When it's sunny outside there's even more to do.
During the spring and summer, every second sunday, there is the Farmers market as well.

Mojofoodies -Chinatown (22)

We're going downtown to Chinatown!
My list of places and things in and around the Chinatown area.  Places that have been here for years and still running business and places I've newly discovered.
It was an area I grew up in and remember fondly.  It is a place I return to for those memories and to create new ones.

Cantonese Food (4)

Cantonese Food, probably one of the first Chinese cuisines to come to Canada.  This is a list of places that I've eaten at in Vancouver that serves Cantonese style food.

Japanese Food. What it Means to Me. (25)

Japanese food to me is a home cooked meal.
It's not always sushi and not always raw and not always rice.
Here's a list of the Japanese restaurants that I've been to that I consider more authentic than others.
Yasuyo can claim this list as hers as well.

Although there are alot of great places I haven't been to yet.  (I'll get to them someday)  This is just a list of the places that I've been to that I would recommend.

FAST AND FURIOUS FOOD (48)

Fast food and drive ins, or drive throughs or dive ins.

Happy Hour for your Car. (21)

Want to pamper your car?  Like to race or rally your car in competition but don't know where to start? Want to make you're new purchase look unique, cool and sleek and sexy?
Below is a growing list that i'll be working on for those who love all things automobiles.
Stay tuned for updates!

Places with Potential (6)

This is a list of places that have all the right stuff, but on the night or day I came, it was probably not their best day.

So if you come here, please cheer them on.
I know they can do better and I'm sure you will give them glowing reviews.

Everybody has a bad day now and then.  So this list is to prove that they know they can do it great all the time.

The Underdog List for April 2012 (4)

Here is a list of reviews that i will be doing in the month of April that have 10 or less reviews at the time of review.
Unfotunately I couldn't use them for the Underdog April event listing, but this should help those Underdogs out there!
