1510 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC V5L 2Y7 10/09/18 3.5/5 stars        The booths are deep enough to lose the echoes of Don Giovanni’s baritone and house the gut of Joey Diaz in his physical prime. The focaccia has more dough than a Nike contract so you’ll need the…

1818 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC V5N 4A5 09/17/18 3.5/5 stars            Being called “Cannibal Cafe” one can’t help but wonder if there is a password used for ordering human meat, I tried codeword “Chinatown”. But after my best Rockford impersonations the closest thing I found was…

11780 Thorpe Road, Richmond, BC V6X 1J6 08/31/18 4/5 stars When walking into this quiet little spot off 5 Road there are a couple things you should prepare yourself for. One, the owner is going to be fresher than you. You absolutely cannot flex on my man. His upper body…

A couple of weeks ago, I had a bad experience with a pulled pork benny that really changed my perspective on eggs benedict So, here I am, Sunday, August 18th, it has been a rough night, I’m starving and in the mood for a good meal.

You know right off the bat when you see ‘cash only’ in the heart of West Cambie in Richmond, you’re in the presence of authentic Chinese food. And being the only gweilo in the building was further affirmation of the fact.

The entry doors are mythical, almost as if they’ve been preserved from the tower of Orthanc. A small inkling to the rich oak and mahogany decor Ron Burgundy and the channel 4 news team would be heavily influenced by.

Anh and Chi is the classiest place on the block. Cucumber water seconds after being seated. You know what they say about cucumbers, the pickle’s cooler uncle that parties; kind of like Brodie Jenner. However, my admiration for their progressive menu is esteemed.

       From here on out every word you read will be interpreted as the voice of Sam Elliot. This place is Paul Bunyan during the prohibition era living in the lawless district of Chinatown. Bear skin rugs hitched to the walls as chattel. You ever stared a ten…

The Andina building on its own is art. The free parking lot is the gallery, and the brewery is the artiste behind it all.

This place is like the border to Mexico, you don’t need ID to enter and you don’t really want to leave. Fire reggaeton coming through the speakers and bright colors everywhere.

Pulling into Tinhorn creek you are forced to carve through a very murderous and cabalistic driveway, almost like driving down Dracula’s Path. It’s a good lead up to walking through the main glass doors because it’s a classy place.
