The Mac Shack

The Mac Shack

November 30, 2011

We were one of the many bloggers invited to The Mac Shack‘s media event to have a taste of their menu and drinks. It was a fun night and before I know it, I already had 8 different kinds of mac and cheeses, 1 mac and cheese sandwich and 2 desserts, a carbs loading night for sure.

So there’s a new restaurant in Vancouver that specializes american cheesesteak sandwich, cool! Not sure why this is a novelty for me, probably from watching too much food tv but I was excited about The American Cheesesteak Co.

Earls on Kingsway

Earls on Kingsway

Earls is right across the street from where I work. They have a fairly large outdoor patio to enjoy the sun, though there isn’t much to look at on Kingsway, unless you want to look at my office building.

Joey on Burrard

Joey on Burrard

July 14, 2011


I think Joey is currently my favourite franchise restaurant – more than Cactus Club, Milestones, Moxies, Earls, etc. I went to the Joey in Coquitlam a few months ago for the first time in almost a decade, and had a really good time. I went to Joey on Burrard after a friends shower to kill time downtown. I don’t know what took me so long to go. I went with two friends, one of whom works at the Joey on Broadway, so I had some inside tips.

Last week after my sister’s convocation, we went to Milestones on Lougheed for a celebration dinner. I wasn’t all that enthusiastic about dinner at first, because I was never really a fan of milestones. But this summer the menu featured 3 items from Top Chef Canada, I’ve seen the episode  and I was looking forward to trying those winning dishes from the challenge.

When my cousin was on his body cleansing diet, all he would talk about was visiting The Keg to get some real juicy steaks when the diet is over. As promised, we visited The Keg in Surrey for a celebratory dinner after he completed the program.

There’s nothing like pigging out on a butt load of wings after an epic day of snowboarding right? Especially when it is cheap wings day.

I first heard about Meat & Bread on twitter. There was definitely a lot of buzz about this place because I’ve had a couple people on twitter asking me to go, and so I did.

Burgoo on Main

Burgoo is a restaurant to get comfort and wholesome meals for those cold and rainy days. It is November, and I wouldn’t doubt that this restaurant gets extra busy during this time of the year.

Going into Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe is like going into those diners in the movies. It’s got a really nostalgic atmosphere with 1950s, 1960s furniture and vintage collectibles. It’s a pretty cool place to dine in.

On a Canucks game day, Yaletown Brewing Company offers free trolley buses from their restaurant to the arena. Last week we decided to take advantage of the trolley and got dinner at Yaletown Brewing before heading to the game.

If you’re looking for a casual place to get drinks in the evening, Alibi Room is great place to do so.

My friends brought me there on a Thursday evening, and the place was packed. We waited for about 30min to get a table, but that was OK because we were able to sit at the bar to grab a couple drinks first.
