VanEats

At yesterday's WaiterBlog dinner at Fiction, I was lucky enough to sit with the crazy fun Andrew "Mr. WaiterBlog" Morrison and "Chambar" Mark and other cool people.

Thanks to Chantal Eustace for mentioning VanEats in today's Dose in an article on page 3 entitled "Beef lovers want burger joint back":

Moderne, we love you, come back soon

Congrats to Libby's on starting to serve dinner as of Friday June 3rd. Tues-Thursday until 9:30p.m. Friday and Saturday until 10:30p.m. Had a quick peek at the menu today and it looks great. Can't wait to try their curry, lamb shanks and other cool stuff.

I am not a big fan of salmon (maybe because I haven't had much great salmon being brought up in Ontario!), but I really enjoyed the salmon at the Farmed and Dangerous Wild Salmon dinner on Tuesday and at Tojo's. And lo and behold the salmon at Tojo's is from Wild Salmon Canada. Check it out! Highly recommended.

Barb went to The Kolachy Shop on Monday and found out that they will start opening Saturdays 9a.m.-5p.m. and they will soon extend their weekday hours to 7p.m. Excellent! A reason to go to Yaletown on Saturdays!

I'll be there on Monday! And I will give a full report here.

On a weeknight (not Thursday, Friday or Saturday), Bishop's (2183 West 4th Avenue,  604 738-2025) is an even more amazing place as Barb and I found out tonight. In addition to the stellar food, it's warm, quiet, cozy and organic (not just the food but the place too) and  a place where you can talk! Not too many of these places around! In this case, you really get what you paid for.

I'm willing to risk snobby service to get great espresso! I guess you have to be famous in coffee circles like Mark Prince (senior editor of coffee geek) to get permission to post photos since neither Arieanna nor I could get permission to post pictures. What's up with that?
