Hi Five Chicken Burger

Chicken Holic in Coquitlam
I recently tried a funky new chicken place on Austin Ave in Coquitlam. It truly is a cultural mash-up. Chicken Holic is run by a Korean family and while there, I had a Butter Chicken Poutine. French Canadian food with an Indian twist made by a Korean. The food was truly delicious and I will…

A Visit to Hopcott Meats
After the recent outbreak of Avian flu in the Fraser Valley I started thinking a little more about how food is produced. One of the poultry barns that became infected with Avian flu housed something like 20,000 birds. That is not a farm, that is a food factory. And then the infection continued progressing through…

Lunch Break at 293 Wallace St Restaurant
Stopped for another lunch at 293 Wallace St Restaurant in Hope BC. This time I had the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap. The locally sourced blue cheese was a very nice flavour addition.
