Spaghetti and Meatballs

Submitted by Barb on Sun, 06/08/2003 - 12:28

Meatballs:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 Tbsp. fresh herbs (parsley, oregano, basil), chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 egg

Olive oil
4 cups of your favourite tomato sauce

In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients.
Mix thoroughly with your hands, but do not over work, as this will make the mixture tough.

T&T Chinese deli food

Submitted by Roland on Sat, 06/07/2003 - 21:00

If there was an easy way to link to past Georgia Straight Food Stories, then I would link to Stephen Wong's excellent articles about the wonderful deli food you can buy at T&T.

Try the beef shanks and the sweet and spicy mustard greens. These were our favourites of Stephen's picks. Cheap! Excellent with rice, flatbread, congee, etc. Great nibbling food or beer snacks!

Georgia Straight Food Story URLs change again

Submitted by Roland on Sat, 06/07/2003 - 20:40

The Georgia Straight Food Stories URLs have changed again. Bottom line: there is no way to pattern to their food story URLs anymore so there's no easy way to figure out the URLs of past food stories. Check out Georgia Straight Food URLs explained for the details.

I respectfully ask the Georgia Straight web team to make the URLs follow a pattern or provide an archive page with links to past stories. This will make the Straight Food articles more visible and more easily linkable.

The Reef on Main - another West Indian / Caribbean restaurant to try

Submitted by Roland on Fri, 06/06/2003 - 23:32

I totally forgot about The Reef on Main when I asked about Caribbean / West Indian restaurants in Vancouver. The menu looks fabulous. We will have to eat their soon. Thanks to mnorrie for the tip!

First Visit: Del-Hi Darbar on Main

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 06/05/2003 - 21:45

How and why I first tried Masala Dosas back in the late 80s at the Madras Cafe in Ottawa across from the Britannia cinemas is a mystery that has been fogged by the mists of time.

New French Laundry Official Website

Submitted by Roland on Wed, 06/04/2003 - 02:34

The French Laundry finally has an official website hosted on their own domain, Frenchlaundry.com. Thanks to one of our readers for pointing this out to us!

The site is beautiful but some pages (such as the menu page) only work on a PC and don't work on Mac OS X with these browsers: Internet Explorer 5.2.2, Mozilla 1.3, Mozilla Firebird 0.6, Camino 0.7 and Safari Beta 2.

Luckily, we have a PC as well as three Macs and therefore I can download the menu for the French Laundry using my PC.

Mini-Review: Ajisai

If you are looking for some excellent sushi, but can't afford the incomparable Tojo's all the time, then check out our mini-review of Ajisai, our new regular sushi joint.

Mini-Review: Ajisai in Kerrisdale

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 06/02/2003 - 21:57

Ajisai has quickly become our regular "local" sushi place. Funky, small eclectic and affordable and only a 10 minute drive from where we live, Ajisai has all the things that we would want in a sushi restaurant.

Fresh fish: the salmon and yellow tail and in fact all the fish we have had on our visits has been impeccably freshy and tasty. And the place doesn' t smell like vinegared rice like a lot of other sushi joints.

Innovation: lots of cool things here like their vegetarian sushi (enoki mushrooms and lots more) as well as cool fish dishes like tuna with mountain yam.

Roti Bistro - great West Indian Food in Vancouver! Any others?

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 06/01/2003 - 23:47

After our news item on Toronto's wonderful Caribbean restaurant, The Real Jerk, Mark Allerton wrote to ask if we know of any good West Indian restaurants in the the Vancouver area (other than of course the excellent Roti Bistro on 4th). If anybody knows, please leave a comment.
