  • Poutine and Banh Mi at The Rivermarket

    I was in New Westminster yesterday and jumped at the opportunity to go see what the New West waterfront/Front Street looks like now that the multi-level parkade has been taken down from Begbie Street over to 6th. My first impression is WOW. So much sunshine can now pour onto Front Street. Of course I also…

  • Big Smoke Burgers SFU

    Yesterday afternoon I took my little bears up to SFU for a walk about and a burger at the SFU location of Big Smoke Burgers and I’m sad to say, while the walk about was fun, we were not impressed with the burgers. First off, perhaps I am getting to be a grumpy old man…

  • Parkside Brewing and New Restaurants in the Burbs

    There are a bunch of new places that have recently opened in the burbs and I need to get to and try out! Port Moody has become a “go-to” location for craft beer. Parkside Brewing will be the fourth brewery on the strip along Rocky Point and they will be opening up on June 8th-ish.…

  • A Couple Restaurant Updates

    There have been a couple of changes in local restaurants recently and an exciting new opening you may be interested in hearing about. First, a place I tried over the Christmas break, the Onyx Steakhouse located in Port Moody’s Suterbrook neighborhood has suddenly closed. In its place will be another place I recently tried, Romer’s,…

  • 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! 

  • Romer’s for Dine Out 2016

    I am still in Vancouver’s very trendy neighborhood of Yaletown doing some intensive training work. Tonight instead of working through dinner we took a short break and were able to wander off on our own for dinner. I chose to stop in at Romer’s Yaletown location.     I went for the $20 Dine Out Vancouver…

  • A&W Burgers for Lunch 

    A late lunch of A&W burgers, actually an after school snack, with my little Bears today. The classic Teen Burger with a couple of Buddy Burgers, a side of fries and another side of onion rings. To me, the Teen Burger is the best fast food burger available in our city.

  • The Black Bean Burger

    Today’s lunch was a high school cafeteria special like I never had when I was a student – a black bean veggie burger with a thick, rich and creamy aioli. The pinch of caramelized red onions added a nice flavour highlight.

  • Lunch at the Northern Cafe and Grill

    For my last lunch out and away from New Westminster I decided to hit up the Northern Cafe and Grill one more time. I went there earlier in the summer for a breakfast and the owner told me to come back again to see him to try the burgers he makes. He told me he…

  • Lunch at the Sun Star Restaurant

    In the past I have gone to the Sun Star restaurant for breakfast. Just the simple two eggs, hashbrowns and bacon type of fare. After a long training session in the local pool (what else are you going to do during a monsoon?) the girls and I were hungry, bordering on hangry. So I wheeled…
