I wasn’t aware there was such a thing as burnt ends on the menu the last time I went to Hog Shack. Actually, I don’t think it’s on the menu. It’s a sort of speakeasy item spoken of in hushed whispers on Twitter and I’m sure most people who visit aren’t aware that this sort [...]

To my friends and I, the strip mall that Kumare is located in is more known as the one across from possibly the worst parking lot in Richmond rather than for anything actually there. I couldn’t for the life of me remember whether or not in the 28 years I’ve been living in Richmond I [...]

I have a few restaurant reviews and a few other things lined up but to be honest, I really don’t feel like writing about food right now. In case you haven’t heard, a bunch of morons disgraced our beautiful home of Vancouver and our awesome hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks by lighting their neighbor’s car [...]
