New and Exciting Concession Items at BC Place Stadium

Posted in Burger, Concession, Joyce, Media Events, Sandwiches, Vancouver, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 2, 2023| Leave a Comment »

With the new Whitecaps season kicked off last weekend and one of the biggest concert years ahead, BC Place Stadium and Sodexo Live! have launched their new concession menu for 2023. Throughout the concourse level, different themed concession stands serve up a variety of items inspired by different cuisines and cultures. There are also a few fun items introduced to the menu this year.

I had the pleasure to attend the media tasting and showcase last week, and here are what caught my eyes:

Seoul Food (section 206)

Korean Fried Chicken – 4 flavours to choose from: soy honey garlic, snowing cheese, Gochujang glaze, and original. The chicken pieces were more Taiwanese popcorn chicken size, but the flavours definitely reminded you of K.F.C.!

Hello 2023!! 2022 is a wrap and there’s so much to be grateful for and to celebrate. With things returning to a new normal, I had the pleasure of discovering a lot of new places last year. Many are worthy a repeat visit and of them all, here are my 10 favourite bites/sips. Now keep in mind this list is about the specific item listed, because one can’t possibly like everything at every single place. These dishes just really stood out for me. Interestingly, only a couple of these places were hosted tastings. The rest were paid out of our own pockets. Also remember, restaurants rotate their menu on a regular basis so what I had listed here may not be available anymore (and I will try my best to specify below), but I’m sure you would find something you like if you decide to visit these restaurants sometime soon.

And without further ado, in no particular order, here are the 10 items:

[Giveaway] Are You Ready for Pirate Pak Day 2016?

Posted in Burger, Contests, Joyce, News, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on July 28, 2016| 24 Comments »

On August 10, the popular Pirate Pak Day returns to White Spot! This is the only day of the year when the adults get to order their own Pirate Pak. For each Pirate Pak sold on that day, White Spot will donate $2.00 to Zajac Ranch for Children.

White Spot will be serving a limited menu on August 10. The Adult Pirate Pak menu has changed slightly this year; you’ll have 5 options: the Legendary Burger, Bacon Cheddar Burger, Mediterranean Chicken Burger, Sriracha Portobello Veggie Burger or Sriracha Goat Cheese Turkey Burger. They are served in a pirate boat, and come with bottomless fries, coleslaw, a soft drink, a scoop of ice cream and a chocolate “gold coin”. Not a burger fan? There will also be a selection of other sandwiches, entrees and salads for you to choose from – just order the boat on the side!

The Cannibal Cafe Downtown – Are You Bacon Bad?

Posted in Burger, Cafe, Casual, Dinner, Joyce, Meat, Restaurants, Sandwiches, Vancouver, Wings, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 11, 2016| 3 Comments »

Because I take the Canada Line to work everyday, as I exit the Waterfront station I would see the banner sign of the Cannibal Cafe. It’s been a couple of months now and I’ve been expecting a somewhat more permanent fixture by this point. Nonetheless, when they’re selling a Groupon, I bought one to give it a try.

Food

As we sat down, the menu cover said it’s soft opening, and the menu seemed to mirror what’s at the Commercial Drive location. I guess it’s not a temporary pop-up?

It was a Thursday evening and wings were on special for $5, so we ordered a pound of Cannibal Wings. They offer a few choices of flavour, and we went for the less typical Black Dragon wings. The Black Dragon is their version of a sweet & spicy sauce. I was expecting something like Thai chili sauce, but it had more heat to it. The wings were of decent size, crispy on the outside and moist inside. They weren’t heavily sauced but just enough to coat every bit of the wings. Flavours were really good. For $5 (originally $10.95), this was a very good deal.

Cannibal Wings

For our mains, of course we went for the burgers. I was bad; I was Bacon Bad. I mean, how can you not go for this burger?! Bacon & cheddar stuffed patty, applewood smoked bacon, Canadian cheddar, maple bacon bourbon jam, roasted garlic mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle — it has my name written all over it! The Bacon Bad burger was just as good as the description sounded.

[Food Truck] Hamburger $2.85 – Affordable and Good

Posted in Burger, Fast Food, Food Truck Series, Food Trucks, Joyce, Lunch, Meat, Restaurants, Sandwiches, Vancouver, tagged , , , , , , , on August 27, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Earlier this year a mysterious food truck showed up at the corner of Granville and West Pender, selling just two things: hamburgers or cheeseburgers. The truck didn’t seem to have a name, so it has just been called 2.85 Hamburger because, well, that’s how much it costs to get a burger there. Word has spread and many people have gone. I finally decided to give it a try.

Hamburger $2.85

Food

And yes, there are only two items. $2.85 for a hamburger or $3.50 for a cheeseburger. Tax extra. I ordered the Hamburger and it came to $3 after tax.

Wait time was minimal; I only waited for about 5 minutes after placing the order even though there were probably 10 other burgers in the making. (more…)
