This is an example of about how it doesn’t ever hurt to ask. We were heading back to Calgary for a short weekend visit and of course I wanted to try a newer restaurant that I’d never been to. But because H had outgrown his travel tie chair and I didn’t want to lug a [...] One of my food memories growing up in Vancouver is the cardboard Pirate Pak for kids 10 and under at White Spot. My entree (usually a hamburger) sat in the middle; a Styrofoam cup with my milkshake was nestled on the stern; a straw held up the cardboard mast; a mini cup of vanilla ice [...]
CHARCUT Roast House has earned a slew of accolades since it opened in March 2010 in the swanky Hotel Le Germaine downtown. It’s again in the limelight as co-chef and co-owner Connie DeSousa is currently competing on Top Chef Canada. I have to confess, I hate the name.

Kane’s Harley Diner became my go-to lunch place when I went out with H and other babies. The kitschy diner has been in Inglewood for more than a decade. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. Regulars come back for the filling plates and service by ladies who call you “sweetie” and [...]
I love Caribbean roti for lunch. The soft, stretchy unleavened flatbread wrapped around a saucy, spicy filling always hits the spot. Roti Hut is a modest strip mall joint that’s been in business for a while. One of those restaurants-cum-community gathering places that sells concert tickets and CDs. I went on a quiet weekend morning. [...] |
