I keep hearing about this place – from friends from the East Coast, from magazine articles, – and I couldn’t believe it, but one actually opened here in Vancouver! We were out with S and F, for a morning hike in Lynn Canyon Park, and F was getting seriously hungry. Serious hunger? Five Guys it [...]

Taqueria El Buen Sabor – San Francisco, CA
July 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Cheap Eats, Mexican, San Francisco
Sunday, strolling around Mission on a sunny day in San Francisco. Lunchtime – and we come across this taqueria at 18th and Valencia – in we go, and within 5 minutes, we’re sitting down on one of the long benches, enjoying a super pork burrito.

Babylon Cafe – Vancouver, BC
July 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Cheap Eats, Middle-Eastern Food, Vancouver
Whether it’s Elgin street in Ottawa, Avenue des Pins/St-Laurent in Montreal, or Blowers at Grafton (Pizza Corner) in Halifax, I’ve had a few shawarmas and donairs in my time. And Babylon Cafe in Vancouver on Robson Street should be proud for producing one of the best. We’ve been here many times – the Pacific Centre [...]

Cerveceria Catalana – Barcelona, Spain

Cerveceria Catalana is a pretty good place to try tapas. Just don’t arrive like we did at 12:30 pm and mistakenly think that the pito (the small sandwiches piled along the bar) are the tapas. In fact, that is the breakfast food and as we sat there – all the pito were cleared out to [...]

White Castle – New York

Ever since watching Harry and Kumar Go To White Castle , I have had a strange urge to try a slider at this popular fast food chain. By chance, one late night after a show, we strolled by a White Castle near Madison Square Garden and I just had to go in. First of all, [...]

Pat’s vs. Geno’s: Philly Cheesesteak Showdown
November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Cheap Eats, Inexpensive, Kid-friendly, Philadelphia, Western Food
When the lads suggested we go to Philly for a sports weekend this year, two words immediately came into my mind: Philly Cheesesteaks. Maybe it should have been “The Eagles” or “The Flyers”, but for me, as usual, my love of food just took over and all I could see was orange. There are a [...]
