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.
New York Continues – Halal Guys, Bread and Butter, Momofuku, Da Gennaro
In continuation to my last post, here's a few more places that we tried. Other than these ones we also tried sushi in New York (no, not Mr. Robato). It was awful, maybe because the fish quality in British Columbia is much higher, not sure. Also tried this supposedly "Vietnamese" restaurant, but for some reason it had a strange variety of items on their menu including various Chinese, Thai, and other dishes. Will not bother to review those thoroughly.
New York – Vesuvio Bakery, Bari, Firehouse Pizza, Pretzelcart, and Ruby Tuesday
Late August, my friend and I ventured to the East Coast of the US to New York City. Hot, humid, polluted air smacked my face as soon as we neared Manhattan. For 10 days, we traveled from place to place by foot or subway, shopping and eating wherever and whenever.
Long’s Noodle House
I don't often blog about Chinese food because my mom makes great Canton-style dishes (think stir-frys). However we do appreciate other Chinese cuisines and sometimes go out and about for great finds. Shanghainese is one of our favourites, and here's one that we always go for our Shanghainese food fix - Long's Noodle House. The restaurant doesn't look all that fancy on the outside, but don't let that fool you. It serves some really great food.
European Travels
For 3 weeks, I disappeared from Vancouver to go travel a little in Europe. We went from country to country, then flew back home.
