VanEats

After our story on Me-n-Ed's Pizza, which linked to Derek Miller's Perfect Pepperoni story at penmachine.com, Derek linked to us in a post entitled Good Food in Vancouver.  Thanks!

Walker New York : Eats is yet another cool New York City blog about food (the RSS file is here).  I wish Vancouver had more food blogs like VanEats.  C'mon Vancouverites our food is just as good as New York, much cheaper and we have just as many food lovers! Start a blog today!

Don't know how to blog or how to start one? Leave a comment or call me at 604 729 7924!

DailyDiner has tons of American restaurant reviews.  It  has an unconventional user interface.  You enter the zip code of the place  you are interested in checking out and it shows you the reviews from that zip code.   For San Francisco, enter 94101 and Seattle enter 98101.

Here's a picture of Barb's BBQ pizza:

As you can tell, we're big fans of pizza, especially thin crust ones. For a while now, I've read about and have been wanting to make barbequed pizza. I wouldn't dare attempt it on our old barbeque lest the pizzas end up in an inferno! Now that we have a Weber and precise temperature control and few flare ups, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Preparation was quick and overall cooking time on the grill was about 10 minutes. Quicker than our conventional oven and it kept our place cool!

Derek Miller raves about Me-n-Ed's Pizza in  Perfect Pepperoni.   Saab Ken says they are an American based chain.  I don't care whether they are a chain or not, American or not, as long as the pizza is good.  For my money, the best pizza in the city is at Marcello's and Lombardo's (I prefer Lombardo's ambian
