Siegel’s Bagels and Lucky’s Doughnuts
Near the end of the summer we went to see a matinee performance of The Merry Wives of Windsor at Bard on the Beach. Luckily we arrived for the show earlier than necessary so we wandered back up to Siegel’s Bagels on the corner of Cornwall and Cypress to grab a bite of lunch. Although…

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.

Dunn’s Famous – the Revisit
A few weeks ago I was downtown Vancouver and I visited Dunn’s Famous, a restaurant known for serving smoked meat sandwiches. Through some poor choices on my part, I was not overwhelmed by my first experience at Dunn’s Famous so I promised myself I would return and try more of the menu items. Yesterday was…

Today I was on another of my forays into downtown Vancouver and I took the opportunity to hike up Seymour Street to visit a place I have long been interested in – Dunn’s Famous.

In short, it was an excellent lunch experience. Even though it gets very busy during the lunch “hour”…

However, that is exactly what happened on the corner of 10th Ave and 6th St along the Burnaby, New West border. The Starbucks has closed and the independent coffee/sandwich shop is…

Cheese St Grill Lunch
I was out for a bicycle ride this afternoon when I saw my favourite food truck, the Cheese St Grill parked across from the Poirier Community Centre. I stopped for a sandwich and, seeing as I am a fan of the Cheese St Grill’s Facebook page, I knew about their special lunch offering – a…

Cheese St Grill
Although this grilled cheese sandwich from the Cheese St Grill food truck wasn’t actually my lunch, it was remarkable nonetheless. Thick slices of hearty sourdough bread held together an impressive pile of ham and caramelized onions. This grilled cheese sandwich was filled to overflowing with juicy flavours. Awesome. Highly recommended and I will return to…

Raw Cuts Sandwich Shop
I forgot my lunch at home this morning so I went over to Raw Cuts Sandwich Shop on the Burnaby side of the corner of 10th Ave and 6th Street and picked up one of their monstrous sandwiches, the “Chinawich”. Honestly, it was delicious. A mountain of thin sliced ham, lettuce, cheese, and a solid drenching…
