Street food carts was one of the things I was most excited about trying after moving back to Vancouver. One of the easiest ways to find out opening hours and locations is this great iPhone app called Street Food Vancouver. Since I’m still on maternity leave (or “vacation” as my mother likes to call it), [...] Beef noodles are a humble and popular Asian dish. At first glance it’s a simple bowl of broth, noodles and stewed beef, but the quality of each is what sets amazing beef noodles apart from the rest. Chef Hung Beef Noodle has lots of locations in Taiwan, with its first restaurant in Canada at Aberdeen Centre [...]
As someone who saves her intake of KFC for special occasions, I was both horrified and intrigued by the Colonel’s Double Down. The monstrosity — two pieces of boneless fried chicken breasts, two pieces of bacon, two slices of melted Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and the “colonel’s sauce” — was available for the [...]

On the night we were there, two boys kept re-enacting their favourite dives from the World Cup while their [...] In a week where KFC comes up with this monstrosity, the McDonald’s McMinis seem downright healthy.

Their PR company invited me to try the McMinis ($1.99 + tax) [...] There really are just three chicken places for most people in Calgary: the dirty bird, the dirty Calgary bird, or the Swiss bird. A grim selection, if you ask me. Then in the northeast rises Nando’s, a glorious gift from South Africa. The chain was started by a Portuguese man living in South Africa who took [...] In my pursuit of chicken and waffles, I checked out Harlem Underground, whose former incarnation was an old favourite Jamaican place called Irie. Its owners went back in time and emerged as a Southern restaurant /live space inspired by the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. We went on a holiday Monday and were fortunate to [...] |
