My apologies to Mark Hurst. Over the holidays, we didn't add all of our restaurant reviews to addyourown Vancouver as we promised. But we did add Del-Hi Darbar. Check it out and addyourown!

Our friend Lisa loves the grilled cheese sandwiches at The Boss in Chinatown: "salty, squishy, crispy, gooey".

We tried them again yesterday and for $3.25 they certainly are all that and more. A great mouth feel. First you get the crispy bit of the top layer of the bread which is toasted to perfection, then the crunch, then the remaining layers of the bread which are soft and finally the melted cheese.

Let's try to get it to 100 by Christmas! I will add all the VanEats restaurants by Christmas; please help out if you can.

Barb and I had an excellent meal at Feenie's (2563 West Broadway,  604 739-7115) tonight.

The room is quieter and cozier than that of Lumiere. Lots of nooks and crannies for sound to be absorbed in.
