It's summertime! Time to fire up the BBQ! It's just not for men either; women can be just as enthusiastic and adept with a fire as men. Of course, our favourite VanEats editor, Barb, is a Fire-Lusty Gal!
I think it would be a good idea to post restaurant inspection reports online. This would probably make restaurant owners more conscious of the cleanliness of their restaurants.
Adobo is one of the national dishes of the Philippines where I was born. Whenever I make adobo, everybody loves it! So I am posting this recipe for Ryan and all the Adobo fans out there.
1 Chinese eggplant 1 small zucchini 1 leek 1 red pepper 1 green pepper 2 portabello mushrooms Olive oil 2 cloves garlic, mashed 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper
Slice eggplant and zucchini lengthwise into 1/4" slices. Remove tough green tops from leek and cut lengthwise into quarters. Rinse well under running water. Seed and cut red and green peppers into quarters. Trim stems of mushrooms.
Unlike Barb, I have only been living in Vancouver for two years, so it's quite easy for me to think of my favourite restaurants. There are so many good ones, however, that I am sure that two years from now, this list will be different.
Siegel's Bagels
Mmmmm mmmm. Ambrosia is a warm sesame or poppy seed bagel fresh from the oven at Siegel's. Their smoked meat is awesome too. Open 24 hours so that you can always get your fix! These are the only real bagels in the city in my not so humble opinion :-) Bagels from other places are OK if you think of them as bread!
