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.
Cocoa Goodness at Bella Gelateria
As Joyce has mentioned on our Facebook page, Hot Chocolate Festival is going on from now until February 14. My first stop (maybe my only one) was at Bella Gelateria in the downtown area by Burrard Station.
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.
Vancouver Christmas Market 2011
On a Monday evening, I checked out the Vancouver Christmas Market with my coworkers. In its second year, the Vancouver Christmas Market is modelled after the German Christmas Market. Located at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza, you will find Christmas gifts, craft goods, a giant Carousel (which I forgot to take a picture of) and of course, food and drinks. Here's a quick take of what I had while I was there.
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.
