on November 11, 2011 in BBQ
September of this year marked the 10th anniversary of Memphis Blues Barbecue House in Vancouver.

Hog Shack Cook House Review – BBQ In Steveston
on November 2, 2011 in BBQ, Richmond
It has taken us a while to try Hog Shack Cook House in Steveston — but we’re glad we finally did. Restaurants with big “Twitter” hype surrounding them often leave us wanting more, or regretting ever visiting in the first place. This was not the case at all with the Hog Shack. Located on Baysview [...]

on May 3, 2011 in BBQ, Downtown, West End
Disappointed with his first ramen experience, the next day my brother decided to try another restaurant and cuisine just down the street from Kintaro, on Denman & Alberni — Great Wall Mongolia Barbecue Restaurant.

My brother suggested Pig BBQ Joint (Blanshard & Johnson) as he raved about their pulled pork sandwiches. Upon entering, the joint is a relatively small space. However, it has tall ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows, which [...]
HK BBQ Master Richmond Review
on March 17, 2011 in BBQ, Richmond
HK BBQ Master is located in the same hectic complex as Superstore on No. 3 Road, in Richmond. We’ve been a lot in the past four years and continue returning because the restaurant offers consistently delicious barbecue! It’s really some of the best, perhaps even the best BBQ in the city. Specialties include Chinese-style Crispy [...]
Dae Bak Bon Ga Restaurant Review
on April 29, 2010 in BBQ, Kitsilano, Korean
Korean BBQ always brings me right back to our year living in Seoul: A haze of barbecue smoke filled the air in restaurants and Ajummas responded “neeeehh” when customers rang the service buzzer. These were often the sights and sounds of our daily dining adventures. Three years later, and I will occasionally have the urge [...]
