Fannypack and I have been at a running club for 3 weeks now, so we’ve been up and down a specific section of the Cambie strip for a while. Now we’ve noticed a little new Japanese restaurant called Shishinori serving Japanese style cafe-ish food. So we set a date to have dinner after one of […]

The Cheese Rolling Festival is an annual family event that features costume contests, cheese tastings, and of the main spectacle […]
I’ve heard so much about Beta5 cream puffs that one day I finally decided to head down there with TDog to try them out. The kitchen is located in an industrial area (fittingly called Industrial Ave.). If not for Google maps and Beta5’s sandwich board, the store would be easy to miss. They have dedicated […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. I must say, Graze Restaurant is making its way up there to becoming one of my top vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver This would be my second time heading to Graze Restaurant for dinner. I wouldn’t say I was wow-ed the first time, although it really wasn’t bad at all. However, […]
No, this restaurant is not a white man’s take on Thai cuisine. Bob Likes Thai Food is actually run by a Mr. Tai Keattivanichvily, and seems to have got its name as randomly as I got mine (for those wondering, I was wearing a red tie/white shirt get-up for work once, and combined with my […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. To wrap up our coverage of this year’s Tastes of Latin America festival, we bring you a long overdue review of Poncho’s Mexican Restaurant.

3 days. 15 hours. Hundreds of booths, stages, and events. This was our experience at EAT! Vancouver 2014: If you haven’t been to EAT! Vancouver—you should go!—it is the ultimate consumer food show. Wander the aisles with your fellow foodies grazing on samples, stuffing your bags with bargain priced fine foods, and schmoozing with celebrity […]
Travelzoo recently had a dinner-for-2 deal for Edible Canada in Granville Island. We had both wanted to try this restaurant for a while now and missed it during Dine Out Vancouver this year, so I quickly snatched it up for a date with Fannypack. This was one of the better value deals as you get […]
East is East has two locations, one on Main St. and one on Broadway in Kits. After sampling some of the Kitsilano East is East offerings at a recent YVR Foodies Meetup, we won a gift certificate for being really spammy on Twitter that day hehe. The certificate could be used at either location, so […]
