The idea of Pinkberry is simple: frozen yogurt, and variations of frozen yogurt. Its focused menu tells you that this is what they’re best at, and they don’t need other items to fill the menu. All you have to do is pick a size, then your base yogurt, and lastly fill the cup with your choice of toppings.

As part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities, a new component called “Street Food City” was introduced this year. It’s a gathering of a number of food carts in Vancouver at the Vancouver Art Gallery plaza for just three days during the DOV period. Thankful to have a boss who enjoys food as much as I do, we made a trip down to Street Food City as part of our team building exercise.
After checking out all the food carts, we have decided to try La Brasserie Street. My boss actually has tried it before, but he did recommend this cart and said he would have it again. For me, sadly I haven’t done my part in visiting all the food carts in town, even though my office is close to many of them, so I was happy to give this a try.
Max’s Burgers – Sneak Preview (Opening Jan 23)

We were invited to the media event for Max’s Burgers, which is opening next Monday, January 23. The restaurant is at Cambie and 8th, the location that was formerly the Max’s Deli. Owners Bruce and David transformed it into this burger concept and invited Chef Connor Butler to come onboard.
At this event we were served several items from its regular menu, as well as beverages, only in smaller size (e.g. slider vs burger). Since the portion is smaller, this may not necessarily reflect the true quality of the food, but I think it serves as a good indication of what you could expect at Max’s.

Taking a stroll downtown on Saturday after a night of partying (lol!), Mr. and I decided to check out one of the food trucks. We spotted Bada Bing, and yes, you know it, because of its name we couldn’t help but gave it a try!
508 Bistro (Where we used to Chill)

There was once a restaurant called Chill. It was on a quiet section of Kingsway. With its dark awning and dim lighting, no one ever knew its existence. And before you knew, it closed down. Not too long after, a new awning came to take its place. Its name was 508 Bistro. With a little more flare and a little more color, the restaurant was revived.
