Restaurant Review
Brunch at the Acme Cafe
I have never reviewed the Acme Cafe as it features prominently on my bias list, and frankly, I like it too much. I don’t want more people to go there, it is difficult enough to get a seat on weekends as it is. I usually go for dinner, but I will admit brunch is delicious [...]

Food Event
Market at Old Faithful Shop
I stopped by the market event at Old Faithful in Gastown this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never been able to figure out exactly what Old Faithful is, but they stock a lot of really cool, well-crafted products, usually of the classic variety and in the categories of home and grooming. And they have [...]

Alcohol and Spirits
Sherry At Judas Goat
A couple weekends ago I got into some delicious sherry at Judas goat, an under-rated fortified wine undergoing a big revival of late. Which is exactly what I needed the day after. A cautionary tale: sherry is for the end of the evening, not the middle.

I got a laugh from the playful Sashimi Menu at Oysi Oysi on Alberni.

Restaurant Review
Epicurean Caffe
One of Kit’s best kept secrets is the charming Epicurean Caffe, featuring French cafe food. For brunch we enjoyed the decadent and delicious thin-crust, 2 egg and prosciutto Bonjourno pizza, as well as some delicious sunny side up fried eggs. With a cute little patio and great coffee, this makes for a charming brunch destination.

Travel & Eat
Chiles en Nogada
Enjoyed by my mother at Mexico City restaurant el Bajío, this dish is called Chiles en Nogada. Nogal means walnut tree, and the dish is made from a poblano chili filled with picadillo, a ground meat and spice mixture, and served with a walnut-based cream sauce and finished with pomegranate seeds. All together it is [...]

Restaurant Review
Nimby Burger
I love the little burgers at Nimby Burger. Even the “Doublay” is cute enough to hug. And for a hungover day at Kit’s beach, you can’t do better. The fries are in large quantity and good enough. The shakes are lacking in my opinion, they are not creamy enough and the chocolate and strawberry flavors [...]

Sushi Earrings & Candles
At the Powell Street festival there were many fun things to buy, such as tea and sake cups, kimonos, hand-made greeting cards and lots of baby stuff. But what stood out for me were the playful sushi earrings and candles.
I think the earrings are super-cute and affordable, although it took some convincing to get Sunny [...] -
Food Event
Powell Street Festival
The Powell Street Festival celebrates Japanese culture and is the only time that I willingly hang out in Oppenheimer park. This year the weather was hot and sunny, the crowd was big and the merchandise was fun. There was dancing, drumming, and of course, eating! Unfortunately the lines for the food were long and you [...]
