Ok in the spirit of full disclosure, a good friend of mine is one of the owners of this place, but that totally doesn't matter 'cause the food rules. Seriously.  

The concept is simple and is inspired by those side of the road noodle carts that…More »

I cannot believe that I'm the first to review this killer little spot. If it weren't for the first, I wouldn't do it because the The Reef is not a big joint and really, the more people who know about it the more crowded it gets and the longer the…More »

The Eatery is kind of one of Vancouver's hidden gems. That said, it gets frickin' busy 'cause the folks who do know about it go there. Often.

The menu is a novel and they have some great takes on Sushi - I love the way they use mango in *everything*.…More »

Beans is just down the block from my kid's place, so whenever I'm in the city visiting I end up here for at least one breakfast. The couple that own the place (and man the counter) are unfailingly friendly and always ready with a chat while you wait…More »

My perfect winter Sunday afternoon - after a couple of hours of cruising the vintage shops on Main Street, I'm cold, wet, and my pocketbook is light. I'm enjoying my own thoughts and the people watching, and don't really want to go somewhere loud and…More »

3.5 but I'll round up.
We strolled down to Zigz last night after failing in our attempt to find walking distance sushi with less than an hours wait. This ended up being a good thing because sweet mother of god I'm completely acclimated to Southern…More »

Seb's is the busiest place that no one has ever heard of, I swear. It's also my favourite go-to brunch place in VanCity.  I've had standard breakfast fare, as well as some of their more 'lunch' type offerings, and haven't been disappointed yet. There…More »

Note to self: from now on, travel with your own stamp pads in an array of colours. You never know when you may need one.

Now that I'm a-ok to cross borders again (immigration was the issue, not cooties, by the way), I thought it'd be fun to visit the…More »

The thing about Ladner is that it's still a small town. I mean, the population is growing, but mostly with people who work in Vancouver and use L-Town as a place to store their stuff and crash at the end of the day. This is a good thing, I think,…More »

Three and a half, actually but whatevs. I'm tired of my 4star glut.

OK so apparently it is Restaurant Week across god's green earth - heaven knows it surely is here in Vancouver, same as back home in SD. I've been to Timbre before and was totally…More »

Since our move this summer, I've been forced to find some new footmobile-accessible locales. Here's a list to celebrate that fact.

Birthday! (4)

In my world, you should always get your birthday off work and spend the whole day having fun. Here's a sample plan, in case you are too lazy to develop your own.

Hot town, summer in the city (8)

The spots where I'll be cooling my heels this summer. The footmobile tends to overheat, you know....

Lunchin' (9)

I'm unemployed, see, so I have a lot of daytime hours on my hands. One of my little pleasures is grabbing a book and a sammich and watching the world go by.

Ridin' in my Footmobile (13)

I spend a lot o' time at these places 'cause they are good, and 'cause I can walk there.

Mostly 'cause I can walk there.

Drink. Drank. Drunk. (4)

Red wine is the sweet, sweet nectar of the gods. Here's where you will find me caressing the bottles.
