For further thoughts on the wonderful food and entertainment of Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2005, check out my Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2005 Podcast (1.4 MB MP3 file). See you at Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2006 on Sunday January 22, 2006 at Floata!

And my general impressions over on the GungHaggisFatChoy blog. It was a blast! More later!

Blaine Cook recently (welcome!) started his Vancouver WiFi Mug (RSS feed for those who want to automatically subscribe to updates). It lists all the cafes in the Vancouver area that have free WiFi (free as in $0.00, i.e. no FatPort, Boingo, etc.).

Recent Montreal transplant (welcome!) Aaron Cope (yes, that Aaron, the one with the incomprehensible but cool squiggly banner graphic) has some funny observations on eating in Vancouver. Read the whole thing, but all I can say is that there is good coffee downtown (check out Caffee Artigiano and Take 5; two branches of the same Italian family both with free WiFi.

Thanks for the nomination Bill. And thanks for running the Food Blog Awards, Accidental Hedonist. Chocolate and Zucchini is a fine blog. My only quibble is that there are 1000s NOT 100s of food blogs (if you just take the French, English, and German ones that I occasionally read via their RSS feeds).

WaiterBlog is a hilarious blog of rants from people in BC's food industry. Even if it isn't true (I bet most of it is!), it comes across as real and is quite a fun read. Check it out!

Wow! The generosity of Vancourites continues to surprise me. The challenge for us (I guess) is to make this an ongoing effort for this and other worthy but less publicized causes.

Here is some more Vancouver restaurant Tsunami Relief related news:

Here's the current Tsnumai Restaurants for Relief list on Urban Vancouver:

• 11-21Jan2005 Brix donates $2 from every dessert to Tsunami Relief
• 11Jan2005 Blenz donates 10% of all sales to Red Cross Tsunami Relief
• 12Jan2005 Tropika donates all profits and tips to World Vision Canada Tsunami Relief

Jon Husband pointed us to arthur hungry, which is a food blog with some Vancouver related material and lots of excellent food photos like the ones from this post about Ningtu! Excellent! The only thing I could suggest is adding a Vancouver category so I can track the Vancouver stuff.
