Well, a 20-block radius. Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch & Dinner - I dedicate this list to the lazy Main Streeters.

Like a Big Pizza Pie, That's Amore. (5)

My favourite type of pie.

Lunchin' On The Drive (8)

Working at the very very bottom of Commercial Drive makes for difficulties in finding lots of lunch options.

Oysters & Pearls & Tabasco! (4)

What can I say, 4 dozen oysters is not enough.

Raw. Breaded & Pan-fried.

Whatever: just eat in muh belly.

Tartares of all varieties.

In Search of Xiao Long Bao (1)

Soup + meat wrapped into a tiny little package of happiness and bliss.
