VanEats

According to Tyler, the reason Vancouver is cutting edge is that we have competition, experimentation and pride and I can't disagree with that. We certainly all three of these things in the Japanese, Chinese, and South Asian community (amongst others) here in Vancouver!

More than four years later, I am still waisik about mohnkuchen and the Fraser Bakery and Konditorei's mohnkuchen is still amazing. And don't forget their other baked good such as their rye bread and crullers; it's all good!

Thanks for all the hot chicken wings suggestions!

The 9th Avenue Grill (1822 Broadway) has been open for several weeks now. It appears to be at least a breakfast place since it opens at 6:30a.m. I bet they have lunch and dinner too.

If anybody knows where to get hot hot wings in Vancouver, please leave a comment. Cordelle has just moved here and is looking for some suicide wings!

I personally don't know where there are hot wings here. I don't think it has anything to do with Vancouver per se, it's just that I don't play softball and therefore don't go out for wings afterwards like I used to do in Ottawa (and because of that I knew lots of good places for wings back in the day!).

[ROLAND'S NOTE: Thanks, Ken! As usual, we encourage you to join the site and submit your reviews of your favourite places just as Ken has.]

Happy to report that the food at Double Double still rocks! Check out the shrimp wonton (left) and the chive dumpling (right). Still highly recommended in 2004!

[UPDATE from ROLAND: Whoops, this event was yesterday, August 13th NOT today August 14 as I originally posted.  Mea culpa! I was confused because I didn't receive the email until today.  Thanks to Kurtis from Aurora for pointing this out.  It would be great if this tribute could last the whole weekend.]
