  Etta’s Seafood in Seattle

  08.28.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  Etta’s Seafood is a good fail safe place to indulge in a massive feast of a lunch if you’re hanging around Pike Place Market and you need a break.
  The service is good. The food is hearty. The cokes come with lots of ice and refills are free. And it’s restive, in that I’ve-just-stuffed-myself-and-have-induced-a-food-coma-on-my-person kinda way.
  Handily [...]

  12B: Vancouver’s underground restaurant

  08.24.08 | Permalink | 21 Comments | By

  After reading the Global Peasant’s fabulous description of dining at Chef Todd’s apartment 12B I suggested it as an option for a dear foodie friend’s bachelorette dinner.
  Here is the deal. You get 6-10 people together. You give Chef Todd a call. He sets you up with an amazing six course dinner for a minimum donation [...]

  Notte’s Bon Ton: Bring on the butter cream baby!

  08.13.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  There is not much to say, except that there is only room for one European old school bakery in my heart and Notte’s Bon Ton Pastry and Confectionary has got dibs.
  The Bon Ton has been around forever. I remember going in there as a child with my mother – back when it was still on [...]

  [now closed] Ping’s Café: Where cognitive dissonance abounds

  08.10.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  So, after reading a glowing review in Vitamin V, and being awfully curious about the gutsy restaurant that shuns a storefront, I finally dined at Main Street’s new Ping’s Café this past weekend.
  Now I knew the restaurant was all Yoshoku-style’s cause it advertises it on the menu board outside. And this seemed exciting to me [...]

  Winemaker behind The Show visits BC Liquor store

  08.06.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  [ August 6, 2008; 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. ] If you don’t know it, not only is The Show a really fracking hot labelled bottle of wine, it tastes great too. That’s partly due to the fact that ninja winemaker Charles Bieler is behind it. Lucky for us, he’s coming to visit and tell us about this wines.
  To take place at the 39th and [...]

  Chomping Through the Queen Charlottes: Sea Urchin Mer-roire

  08.03.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  The logo of the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site (at left) is that of a sea otter with a prickly sea urchin on its belly. But we all know from basic food-chain science that if you extirpate the sea otter, then the sea urchins upon which they feed will boom. Which [...]

  Chomping through the Queen Charlottes: Keenawii’s Kitchen

  08.02.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  I recently enjoyed one of the best meals of my life at Keenawii’s Kitchen on a recent trip to the Queen Charlottes. Keenawii is the Haida name of Roberta Olson, one of the matriarchs of the town of Skidegate on Graham Island.
  It’s not a restaurant per se. Instead you are invited (BYOB) to come dine [...]
