I feel like I should know when burgers became fancy because it had to have happened sometime in the 28 years I’ve been alive.

Hoi An is a great example of a restaurant I wouldn’t have known of or gone to without the help of our friend the internet. That’s right, the internet is not just for funny cat videos and Rebecca Black covers. Despite working a block or two away for four years, like Dona Cata, I had [...]

I was only able to make it to a few of the CCFCC 2011 events because I had a load of scheduling conflicts (the President’s Ball was at the same time as Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals…) but I’m glad I managed to get to the ones I did. I didn’t get downtown [...]
