293 Wallace St
A buddy of mine and I had to make a run up the Fraser Canyon Friday evening so we seized the opportunity to stop in and eat at Chef Hiro Takeda’s place, 293 Wallace St in Hope. As usual, I went to the more “edgy” side of his menu while my travel companion played things…

Eggs for Lunch
Another home cooking type of day for lunch today. I love the simplicity of a soft boiled egg, a sliced Roma tomato, and baked potato patties. Add a sprinkle of salt, a grind of pepper and I am in bliss.

Cheese St Grill and This Little Piggy Food Trucks
We had the Cheese St Grill and This Little Piggy food trucks visit our school site today as a lunch option for the teaching staff. Teachers could buy their lunch from either truck and although there were some line ups, they were moving along quite nicely. My grilled cheese with three cheeses, caramelized onions and…

A&W TeenBurger for Lunch
By far the best fast food burger joint is A&W. And the best burger from them is the Teenburger. I love the big chunk of lettuce, the slice of tomato, and the bacon. I also appreciate the fact that I can get the burger on a whole wheat bun. I love my A&W burgers!

Bara, Formerly Okonomi Sushi
One of my uptown New Westminster sushi joints has changed names – Okonomi Sushi is now Bara Sushi. Essentially the same people, the same menu, and the same specials. The change is a result of a separation between their downtown New West 4th Street location and the uptown location. When I saw the sign in…
