  • The Hide Out Cafe in New Westminster

    Today I needed a break from my office so I slipped away for a bowl of soup at The Hide Out Cafe in New Westminster.   The soup of the day today was Cream of Mushroom. And what a wonderfully delicious soup it was! I asked Grant the Chef how he managed to create such…

  • Pulled Pork Sandwich at The Ranch Barbecue

    I was driving through New Westminster’s Sapperton again today and was almost ready to pass out from hunger so I thought it was as good as any time to stop into The Ranch Barbecue and try the Pulled Pork Sandwich. When I saw them put the sandwich up on the counter I was very thankful…

  • The Ranch Barbecue Opens in New Westminster

    Driving through New Westminter’s Sapperton this morning I noticed the sign saying “Closed for Renos” had been taken off the door of what we have been calling Graze’s Market.

  • More 100 Mile Diet
