  Big Lou’s Pork

  08.02.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  Big Lou’s Butcher Shop at 269 Powell Street has a great selection of well-priced meat. This seasoned pork chop was only $4.50 for two. The Pemberton cow costs more, but you will never regret it. I inquired about rabbit and was told that maybe by Christmas. The sandwich menu is fantastic, and across the street [...]

  L’Abatoir Custom Cocktail

  Ask Mr Layton for something special, and you never know what you will get. This drink made me feel like a pirate in late December, all I remember is that it was delicious!

  Still dining in during dine out, with caveats

  01.16.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  As Dine Out season begins again, bigger than ever, my rant from last year is getting some play. I have been a somewhat outspoken critic of Dine Out, a position that has led some to call me an elitist and others to criticize me for not supporting the restaurant industry.
  The two groups that seem most [...]

  Swallow Tail Supper Club

  In great company, I attended the Swallow Tail Supper Club, one of Vancouver’s newest underground restaurants. With Victoria, Sherman, Kim, Mijune, Ben & Suanne, Frank, Joyce, Jenny, Ricky and Anita I was excited to experience another underground dinner. Although I did not know the menu ahead of us, we were given wine recommendations by course [...]

  04.19.10 | Permalink | 11 Comments | By Jonathan

  With Dine Out Vancouver upon us, many people are scrambling for reservations and trying to decide where to eat. After years of falling into this trap myself, the argument I am making now is that the only decision worth making is the decision to dine in during Dine Out. Here are my reasons why.

  Kingyo

  03.06.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  Kingyo occupies the higher end of the Vancouver izakaya scene and its chef has almost rock star status, known for wearing a playful face mask while cooking for a crowd. The interior has a lot of quirky detail, bamboo and textures. I don’t know why it took me so long to try it, but once [...]

  Furious at Finch’s

  01.29.10 | Permalink | 4 Comments | By Jonathan

  Finch’s. The amazingly charming cafe with a European feel, serving baked goods and baguette sandwiches at a premium. Here you will find an almost unbelievable concentration of beautiful, offbeat women, enjoying coffee and long chats. It is hard not to like Finch’s.
  But Finch’s is busy and Finch’s is slow. I forgot just how slow. I [...]

  Tasting BC Wine As It Should Be Tasted

  10.21.09 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  I have read some articles about how differently people perceive wine when the test is blind. And so I was excited to be invited to Taste, a Blind BC Wine Tasting event on December 4th, celebrating BC wine and cuisine. The wine tasting features 2 wines in each of 5 categories of taste: crisp, aromatic, [...]
