Breakfast at the Jimoco Cafe
I was surprised to notice that I have not added the Jimoco Cafe, one of my favourite Tri-Cities breakfast joints to my list of trusted brekkie joints. I have been going to the Jimoco Cafe for quite a few years and I have always been impressed with the quality and presentation of their food. This…

Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner in the Fraser Canyon
There is nothing particularly unique or special about another diner opening up these days. Even if it is east of Boston Bar, way up the Fraser Canyon. The thing that makes Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner unique is that it is run by Todd, a “celebrity-type” chef from Vancouver who used to run a critically acclaimed…

Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner at The Mighty Fraser
Typically you expect to see hipsters, the tattooed, toque and black t-shirt wearing twenty-somethings in Vancouver on Main Street between King Ed and north towards Kingsway. Sometimes they will head further east as far away from Main Street as Fraser Street. Rarely though will you see them east of that. So imagine my surprise when…

Chia Seed – Matcha Tea Breakfast
Every so often a colleague of mine often shows up to work with a little jar of green goop that she eats while sitting at her desk. I asked her what was in the jar and she let me have a taste of the green goop and you know, it was delicious! Not only is…

Big Al’s Diner; The Mount Baker Breakfast
I snuck out of the country this morning just so that I could get a plate of biscuits and gravy with eggs over-easy. It is amazing to me how you just go across the border, out of Canada and into Washington State and you can get a meal like this one pictured. In Vancouver, Canada…

Cora for Breakfast Falls Flat
A friend from Steveston told me about his favourite breakfast restaurant, Cora. He loves the place so I thought, me being the lover of anything breakfast, I better give it a try. I have to admit I was seriously under-whelmed. Seriously. Yes, the service was great; fast and friendly and they have free wireless available…

The Save-On-Meats Diner Breakfast Experience
Last Sunday, early in the morning before my weekly visit to see my dad I decided to give the recently re-opened Save-On-Meats diner another taste test. You may remember that I tried their lunch fare in the first couple of days that they were open. That was a very pleasant experience so I thought I…

Salt and Pepper Cafe in the Starlight Casino
I had plans to meet a friend for breakfast this morning. Seeing as he was coming into town from Delta, we decided to give the Salt and Pepper Cafe in the Starlight Casino a try. Unfortunately, I have nothing to say about the place. I was carrying my Saddleback Leather Messenger Bag with my laptop…

Teething; the Extreme Home Edition
I have a list of postings that I have been working on with deadlines approaching and passing and yet I have not been able to complete any of them. The reason? Teething, the extreme home edition. Annalie is cutting in molars. This teething thing has taken us completely by surprise because up until now both…
