June 25, 2010

At the end of May, a group of twelve of us food bloggers got together for another underground dinner at the Swallow Tail Secret Supper Club, organized awhile back by Jonathan of Food and Tell.

Relish Gastropub in Downtown Vancouver

March 26, 2010

Disclosure: Mike and I were invited to Relish to check out the newly redone restaurant and bar to eat dinner with the owner. While that was scary in and of itself, in hopes that the food would indeed be good, the meal was provided gratis. Early this week, Mike and I headed over to the [...]

February 8, 2010

In the middle of last week, there were eight of us trying to decide what to do for a good friend’s birthday that just passed on Friday. He didn’t want to celebrate at all since he hasn’t been in the mood for cheeriness about aging since his 30th, so instead of doing dinner or having [...]

Market by Jean-Georges at the Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver

January 19, 2010

We were wandering around trying to find a brunch place late on Sunday after running to the theatre to buy advance tickets to finally see the movie Avatar, and couldn’t find anything that was either a) still serving breakfast or b) somewhere that we felt like eating. I was also extra indecisive that day (read: [...]
