Vera’s Burger Shack (Commercial Drive)

July 7, 2009 – 18:45

This is the reason why I didn’t get anything to eat while at Havana.

Sorry, in my excitement at the special for Wednesday, I cut off the billboard. You get the gist of it though, a burger and 2 pints for $10?! read more »

Wally’s Burgers at Cates Park/Whey-ah-Wichen

June 6, 2009 – 15:32

10am – 8pm Daily (open till October 15th)

Yes, you read the title right. It’s the reincarnation of Wally’s Burgers at Cates Park (North Vancouver).

I saw Sherman’s tweet about this a couple days ago, and so decided to act on it and go today for lunch. I’ve had Wally’s once when I was younger and we used to live around the area but I honestly don’t remember much bout it..nor if it was good.

So yea, all foodies will go the distance for food…and I’m about 99% sure I saw KimHo when we went today. Why? ‘Cause I recognized the camera & lens (Nikon + 35mm), and who else would take a picture, arrange it, take another picture, hold it up, take a picture, and etc? Only another foodblogger like myself. If he ends up posting about Wally’s, then yes…it’s you! HAHA.

Anyways, it’s not hard to find, there’s a sign right underneath the park entrance, and another small sandwich board later on. Even the District of North Vancouver touts it on their site, link here. There’s two PDF’s you can view, one for the menu and one for a map of the location.

Gord Bemister, an ex-producer at CFUN radio, has purchased the rights to the name and the trademark menu items, and has reopened Wally’s Burger’s in Cates Park, North Vancouver. But unlike the original, this won’t be the “one and only” Wally’s in town. Bemister is looking into opening several more outlets around the city, with the next site possibly in Gastown.

Will customers who loved the old Wally’s for its famous “Chuck Wagons” and shakes, not to mention the gravity defying Deluxe Combo Burger complete with wiener, fried egg and secret sauce, be able to indulge once again? One thing’s for sure, the place won’t really be a Wally’s without the prodigious use of neon signage – both inside and outside the restaurant.

Well there are no neon signs sadly, but there is a big menu for you to peruse.

So after reading all that…does it measure up to its famed history? Let’s see…. read more »

Moxie's Classic Grill

May 27, 2009 – 07:00

I usually never eat at these kind of restaurants, such as Earls, Cactus Club, Sammie J Pepper, Moxies, etc, because they’re just too trendy and not my style. Plus the fact that I could find the same food or better at cheaper prices elsewhere keeps me away. Anyways, VDL had our season end dinner at the Moxies on Davie St, yesterday, and I was quite happy with my experience. Previous to this visit, I’ve never had Moxies…I think.

So starting off with a couple appetizer platters, you can see that there are chicken wings, salt & pepper ribs, rosemary pita bread, calamari, spring rolls, and three dipping sauces. Lots of meat on the ribs, chicken wings were kind of plain but the sauces helped remedy that, and the calamari batter was light.

All of the following entrees came with sides of potatoes (baked, mashed, fries) and veggies (green beans or broccoli). I wish I got the baked potato instead, it looks so much better than just plain mashed potatoes. I did get to compare the two and I prefer the baked.

This is what more than half of us got, the Honey Roasted Garlic Top Sirloin Steak. What a mouthful. Mine came medium rare as I requested, and it was one of the first to come out, but as the other steaks started to slowly come out, some weren’t cooked to order. I think the kitchen got a little too overwhelmed and couldn’t keep track properly which steaks had to be cooked.

Harvey's

May 25, 2009 – 15:00

This past Sunday, Harvey’s was offering a free original burger to all customers from 1030am-3pm.
Eating a burger for breakfast and before my dodgeball playoffs isn’t the smartest thing to do, but how can you turn down FREE?! It would be a crime not to have gone for one..or two (if I could have!).

Since my parents needed to get stuff at Home Depot, we arrived just after 1030. All the Harvey’s in the Lower Mainland are in Home Depots, except for the YVR food court. Why this is, I have no idea. It sure makes it unique compared to the other fast food burger options. Good thing we arrived early, because by the time we were waiting for our burgers to be made, a line up had already formed. By the time we finished and left an hour later, it was to the sliding door, probably a 15-20min wait.

Have you ever noticed that when you are getting something for free, you feel inclined to order something, be it a drink, fries, or an add-on, just to show that you’re not a cheap ass? If I was going by myself, I would have just gotten the burger and left, but since it was sort of breakfast, my mom got some coffee and fries/onion rings.
