[Roland's note: Thanks Ken. You need your own food blog! Don't worry, we will be converting VanEats to a Bryght site (disclosure: I am founder of Bryght!) before Christmas and that means Ken (and whoever else wants one) will get a free VanEats blog complete with photos just like the members of UrbanVancouver which by the way *gratuitous plug* is a Bryght site *end of plug*.

People have asked me where Kiwi Pies (makers of yummy chicken and lamb pies amongst others) is located.  They are at 3337 Kingsway but I don't have their phone number! If you do, please leave a comment

Check out my story CityTV Taste of the City 2004 Favourites if you want more than just bigger versions of  the four thumbnails below!

Here are my photos (slideshow) from CityTV Taste of The City 2004. More later.

The CityTV Taste of the City that we blogged about earlier is tomorrow at the Plaza of Nations from noon to 9p.m. See you there!

Must go next year. Check out Boris's full report over on Urban Vancouver or go directly to the photo slideshow. Mmmm!

Apparently I was wrong! I was informed via email that the new Caffe Artigiano location on West Hastings DOES have free WiFi. Apparently you have to ask at the bar. I will verify and post a followup. Of course, leave a comment if you can confirm that they have free WiFi.

I am not a coffee geek, but I have finally found an espresso that's not bitter!

Check out my story on Vietnamese iced coffee. It's a good thing Au Petit Cafe (must do a full mini-review soon!) is not close to where I work or live or I would become totally addicted to the wonderful sweet, strong, Vietnamese iced coffee there as well as their excellent subs and Vietnamese food!

The 8-Day Basics Cooking Series for "serious foodies" at the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver (6:15p.m.-9:45p.m., Mondays starting September 20, $695) sounds like an excellent way for passionate home chefs to hone their technique. Thanks to Kirsten and Saab Ken for pointing it out.
