  • Beet Greens and Eggs for Breakfast

    Breakfast today was two eggs from the place we always stop in Agassiz fried sunny side up and perched atop a little nest of beet greens from my front yard garden.

  • Red Wagon Cafe Fails to Meet Expectations 

    After waiting for months and months and months to get into the Red Wagon Cafe on East Hastings Street, we finally found a moment when there wasn’t a line-up of hipsters out front of the place.

  • The Big 6 Restaurant For Breakfast

    In my continuing research efforts of finding trustworthy breakfast joints around the Metro Vancouver area, I stopped at a Burnaby institution, the Big 6 Restaurant.    Years ago I would meet my grandfather at the Big 6 for the Trucker’s Breakfast special. Back then the special was $2.95. Now the Trucker’s Special of two eggs,…

  • The Northern Cafe and Grill Vancouver

    I’ve wanted to try the Northern Cafe and Grill Vancouver for a long time but their hours of 7am to 3pm has made it virtually impossible for me to get a meal there. Well, with me being on summer holidays, I saw my opportunity. Going for a breakfast at the Northern Cafe and Grill Vancouver…

  • Jimoco Cafe – Cheap Breakfast

    If you ask people where to go for a cheap breakfast usually the first place they say is Bon’s off Broadway. Some people will also say IKEA’s one dollar breakfast is the real deal. Well the real deal and the best, cheap breakfast in town is the Jimoco Café. From opening until 9:30 AM they…

  • Biscuits and Gravy at Tony’s in Blaine

    On the weekend I was in Blaine Washington a little too early to get into the post office so I did what I like to do best – I found a little hole in the wall joint and had a second breakfast. One of the things that never fails to intrigue me is the fact that…
