  Market Dinner with Chef Lee Parsons

  02.27.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  This is a lost post from late summer 2010. I had the pleasure of attending one of the Market Dinners put on by Edible BC and held in the Granville Island Market after hours.

  Delicacies at the Dirty Apron Deli

  02.21.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  On my way to an informal wine tasting last weekend, I stopped into the Dirty Apron Deli. I splurged on some of the most lovely cured meats I have had in ages, along with some delicious farmhouse cheeses from Salt Spring, some baguette, and yes, a grilled roast beef sandwich to go.

  Guu Garden Loving

  02.13.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  I am sending my Valentine’s day post out to Guu Garden, as it has stolen my heart from the other Guu izakayas. It feels like a well-kept secret, an elevated oasis offering a rare bit of tranquility downtown, and there is nowhere I would rather be on a cold and rainy night. The service is [...]

  Birthday on Grasshopper Hill

  02.09.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments | By Jonathan

  My grandmother turned a respectable 85 yesterday, and as part of the festivities chapulines (grasshoppers) were bought from a truck vendor. She lives in an affluent area of Mexico City called Lomas de Chapultepec, which derives its name from a Nahuatl phrase meaning “Grasshopper Hill.”
