Pizza pie man extraordinaire, Terry Deane, sold his popular ah-Beetz pizza parlour in Abbotsford and opened a shop in Vancouver called Pizzeria Barbarella. Paying homage to his family, he named his latest restaurant after his mother, Barabara Deane, who passed away at the end of last year. We were eagerly anticipating the opening of his [...]

Congee Noodle House Review
We visit Congee Noodle House quite often in Vancouver, so I’m surprised that we’ve never previously reviewed the restaurant. One of the reasons we like CNH is it’s a lot closer than driving to Richmond for some quick Chinese food. On this particular visist we ordered take-out of some of our usual favourite dishes. Located [...]
Fatburger (West Broadway) Review
Fatburger is an American chain of fast food restaurants that was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1952. Hamburger fanatics have since developed a cult-like devotion to Fatburger. Today it’s become a really popular place in the US, with celebrities like Queen Latifah and Pharrell Williams buying Fatburger franchises while Kanye West later investing in [...]
Ba Le Deli & Bakery (Kingsway) Review
Unfamiliar with banh mi? Well, they’re traditional Vietnamese sandwiches served on French baguettes. We’ve had authentic banh mi from street food carts in Vietnam (you can read about it here). If you’re a banh mi fan and live in Vancouver, then you’ve most likely been to a Ba Le location. There are three of these [...]

Hennessey Dining Lounge Review
We ventured into Yaletown with some friends on Saturday night to watch the Canucks game. Apparently we failed to arrive early enough to snag a table because it appeared the rest of the city had beat us to it. To make a long story short, we ended up at Hennessey Dining Lounge (after a stop [...]
Solly’s Bagelry (Mount Pleasant) Review
We were craving a quick soup + sandwich combo for lunch, and happened to be near Solly’s Bagelry on the corner of West 7th & Yukon (near one of my favorite places, Whole Foods Cambie). Bonus: We discovered they provide free parking, which we accessed via 7th Ave. Apart from this Mount Pleasant location, Solly’s [...]
Chronic Tacos Review
I love Tex-Mex food – the more guacamole, sour cream and fresh salsa, the better. So I was really excited to try Chronic Tacos’ first location outside of the USA. Located in Mount Pleasant (Broadway & Yukon), this Californian chain serves up hearty made-to-order Mexican favorites like burritos, tacos, tostada bowls, nachos, and quesadillas. They [...]
