Crisp Pork Belly Sandwich pickled vegetables, jalepeno, cilantro, mayo, baguette, chips

Another day, another willing dining partner, this time in the form of Andy. Actually, I think it was more just cause he was available and had a lot of free time. I actually can’t remember, I think we were supposed to go somewhere else to eat but it wasn’t open..? Refresh my memory Andy. So read more »

Good Eats Cafe, New Westminster, BC

Case in point, Burger Heaven and Burger Burger. This little cafe on Columbia and 6th is an example of one. Around lunch read more »

At the corner of Pender and Howe in Downtown Vancouver is a little bit of a gem. When you find it, you’ll know what I mean. Tuesday – $8 steamer bowls. That’s half off the regular price!

After the visit to Coastal Black Estate Winery, we cruised back to Courtenay to drop off some stuff and look for dinner.

Pourhouse Restaurant

There used to be a time when I’d freak out if my posts weren’t in chronological order. Then I realized, life’s too short, whatever, no big deal. That and I have random bouts of laziness. Following the Bombay Sapphire Speakeasy Event, Adam Queenie and I went to Pourhouse for some more drinks food. I used read more »
