If I had an expense account and “business meetings,” I would eat lunch at Rush every day.
Lobster bisque and lobster claw sandwich would be a part of my regular rotation. And a glass of wine.

I’ve been carefully watching for this year’s Lobsterfest, an annual fundraiser hosted by the Stampede City Kinsmen, after such a great time last year. (I ate three lobsters.) But with their website down for several weeks, it turned out to be quite a test of my investigative skills. By the time I chased down an [...] This should be the last of the wedding-related posts, I swear! We’ve had a lot of friends ask about what we ate during our Chinese wedding banquet at the Victoria Chinese Restaurant (in the same complex as the Hyatt Regency Vancouver hotel).

If I recall correctly, the chain was charging about $10 for the combo meal with fries and a drink. [...]
I want to marry Tadich Grill — if, you know, humanoid-restaurant unions were socially accepted, and legally recognized. The restaurant has been around for 159 years — in its current location since 1967 — and is a total legend in San Francisco. Tadich is old-school, with almost an old-boy’s club feel in the dark wood, the [...]
Growing up, whenever someone mentioned the Maritimes, I pictured in my head colourful wooden buildings along a coastline. I’m sure that was because of postcards I had seen as a kid. Kind of like how you think of the Eiffel Tower for Paris or the pyramids for Egypt. Turns out my iconic image is Lunenburg, [...]
The very first time I went to Prince Edward Island, I did the natural tourist thing and went straight to Cavendish to visit the site that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic novel, Anne of Green Gables. But I really should have done the OTHER thing P.E.I. is famous for – the lobster supper. The very first [...] |
