1. In-N-Out Burger
San Francisco, CA 94133
USA
(800) 786-1000
So I actually have something in common with Paris Hilton???
I frikkin love these burgers. I don't think it would be the first place I would go after a stint in the slammer. Or... would it? Does Alcatraz count?
I guess unlike Paris I am a bit of…More »
2. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
I am with Leroy L. on this Heart Attack Shack.
I didn't come here for the decor nor to sit up straight with a white linen napkin placed on my lap.
I came here because I was belligerently hungover on Saturday morning and I couldn't bare the thought of…More »
3. Twisted Fork
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M1
(604) 568-0749
Categories:
French,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
4.3 twisted stars!
I finally got to experience Twisted Fork for myself. Having avoided it a few times due to line ups (my fault as I usually leave things to the last minute).
Thirsty?
A few worthy beers on tap. I had 2 pints of the Blue Buck. Seriously…More »
4. Vij's Rangoli
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
(604) 736-5711
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I am usually an ambitious order-er when returning to a restaurant for the second, third, sixth time. But I can't help ordering the same darn thing every time at Rangoli. The Portobello Mushroom with Naan, Chai tea and rice pudding for dessert.
The…More »
5. Toratatsu - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6G 2L6
(604) 685-9399
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
Please please please bring back the Negitoro Avocado! Oh my heavens, why hasn't anyone thought up Avo fries before?
This was by far the best plate on their menu, but for some reason they stopped serving it the last time I was there. Perhaps they too…More »
6. Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries
$6.66 a slice!
That damn HST has combined with the Peanut Butter Mousse to form a devilishly brilliant piece of cake.
I just licked the cake paper from the bottom of the package.
I need more. NOW.

I am definitely sweetly obsessed with these cakes. I have tried almost every kind they have, except… Read more »
7. Aphrodite's Organic Café and Pie Shop
Vancouver, BC V6R 1N8
(604) 733-8308
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
You get what you pay for!
Although my Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny cost $17, it was pretty damn good. I really don't have a problem paying a little extra knowing that I am actually supporting LOCAL organic produce and poultry businesses. And all their…More »
8. Duffin's Donuts
Vancouver, BC V5W 1R7
(604) 325-5544
Categories:
Chinese,
Doughnuts,

This weird gem has something for everyone!
Lunchtime, and you are near 41st and Knight?
Try this place!
I say Vietnamese sub, maybe a piece of fried chicken on the side (it is really good, and I DON'T eat fried chicken). And to finish off a good strong…More »
9. Grounds For Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6R 3R8
(604) 224-5282
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
This three star review may be grounds for a good spanking!
I am still a huge fan of your ewwwy gooooey buns, but the $3.73 price tag is approaching my cannot afford limit.
I have removed one sticky star because for this price I know your company can…More »

10. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
My go-to cookie place at UBC is losing a star. Heavens, say it ain't so.
Unfortunately the last three visits yielded semi doughy cookies and bitter lattes. What the heck Blue Chip?
Your muffins are still pretty good. But come on, lets face it. We…More »

Five stars with a chunk of chocolate on top!
Blue Chip is by far the best coffee/snack place at UBC.… Read more »
11. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Down another star Japa!
I'm still a fan, but with all the new carts in town I have to take you down a notch.
Maybe we just need a break from each other?
Don't worry, I will be back.

Why the sudden shift of stars?
Well, I woke up Saturday on the wrong side of the bed. Actually it was a relief that I was in my bed and not the bushes outside of the house. I was hungover…More »
