PHAT (now on iPhone!)

December 23, 2010

I’ve walked by PHAT (which apparently stands for Pretty Hot and Tasty) several times throughout the course of my time in Yaletown, and for whatever reason, had never tried it until last week. The deli is known for it’s Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, of which I’ve had several great ones in my life (with meat [...]

December 16, 2010

I found out about Miura Waffle Milk Bar one afternoon while I was walking along Davie Street. I looked to my left, and noticed a sign up advertising waffles and various milk drinks, and looked past the small patio and into the cute restaurant thinking that this was something different that I definitely wanted to [...]

Pork Belly Beer House

December 7, 2010

Pork Belly Beer House is a real hole-in-the-wall Korean BBQ restaurant, on Bidwell near Robson. So for those of you that have been asking me to write about more unknown places like this – make sure you read this post! It’s one of those places that reminds me of eating street food in Asia, or [...]

Most Searched Vancouver Restaurants – November

December 1, 2010

It’s unbelievable how quickly 2010 has flown by! It’s now December, and the holiday spirit seems to be in full swing all around me. I’ve been a little absent lately, doing a bit of moving around Vancouver, but I should be staying put for at least the rest of this year. We’re also at that [...]
