UBC farm is an absolute treasure for Vancouver. It is threatened to be destroyed right now due to the ever expanding luxury condos of UBC properties. Please support the farm any way you can.

The moment I walked into Galloway's I said to myself,
"Wow, my Dad would love this place".

So many random products reminded me of epic camping trips growing up in the Yukon.

As I wandered through the Meat section in Costco this evening in search of a proper cut, I overheard one of the butchers talking about their Pork coming from Colorado.
It was at this moment that I snapped out of my trance and thought
"What the fuck am…More »

The Refinery beats STR in my humble cheese & wine induced opinion. Bigger portions of everything LOCAL, and a way better bar.

You get what you pay for!
