Opening day at the East Van Farmer's Market

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 05/16/2004 - 00:01

It's officially summer for me now that the East Van Farmers' Market has started.

Saturday's inaugural market took place in our unusually warm and sunny May weather.

The vendors change every year and every week (here's the official vendor list) and there's always something new but the vibe remains the same. People getting out of the house to get real food that hasn't been overly processed or shipped thousands of miles.

Here are some of East Van Farmers Market opening day photos:

Mini-Review: Armando's Finest Meats at Granville Island

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 05/13/2004 - 23:11

If we need ground meat or steaks, Armando's Finest Meats (#149 - 1689 Johnston St, 604 685-0359) at Granville Island is one of our favourite shops.

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and full of cooking tips.  And the meat is superb.

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 05/10/2004 - 23:24

Our Templeton (1087 Granville, 604 685-4612) Mini Review is coming soon. In the meantime, my summary would be: eat there! Breakfast and dinner are great. I am sure lunch is too, but I've never tried it.

In the meantime, here are some photos and check out Adam's Templeton Review.

Mini-Review: Take 5 Cafe

Submitted by Roland on Sat, 05/08/2004 - 21:44

Take 5 Cafe ( 429 Granville Street just south of Hastings, 604 697-9090, also in Coal Harbour and Robson Street) has become my virtual office. I don't really have an office, so we have company meetings over lunch and coffee there (they also do breakfast starting at 6:30a.m. but I've never tried it)
