#visaeveryday 5: Nu Greek

I was starving by the time I grabbed a late lunch at Nu Greek on Robson. This is from the same owner as fancy restaurants Raincity Grill and C. Nu Greek is not to be confused with Nu (its sit-down restaurant on Granville), or Nu Street (its food trucks), or Nu Greek Broadway. Got [...]

#visaeveryday 4

Bit of an unexpected busy day being called into work. So I used my VISA to buy second breakfast (good ole A&W), late lunch (curry tonkatsu rice and spicy tuna roll from Ebi Ten) and a treat for the end of the day.

As usual, [...]

VISA Everyday Day 1

So when VISA asked me to spend up to $50 on “small things” for five days to see [...]

Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook giveaway

(This giveaway contest is sponsored by Bitchin’ Kitchen.)

Sweet-faced Jamie Oliver and domestic Martha Stewart pale in comparison to Nadia G.‘s bombastic, finger-pointing delivery, bosom-hugging dresses, and sailor-worthy vocabulary.

She already has a cookbook out [...]
