Raw Cuts Sandwich Shop – Burnaby
This morning, rather than crossing the street to go to my usual big chain coffee shop I took a chance on an independent coffee/sandwich shop. It was a good choice.

Catelli Healthy Harvest Ancient Grains Pasta

Nagano Sushi – Coquitlam
I was down near Coquitlam Center and I had some time to kill, and of course I was hungry, so I went into Nagano Sushi for a pre-dinner snack. First impressions were that the combos and many of the menu items were just a bit more expensive than most other sushi restaurants that I visit…
