Mechanical bull, southern BBQ, country music...do they all exist in one place in Vancouver? Yep, Yale Saloon. I was invited to a tasting at Yale Saloon, featuring their southern style BBQ selections. Right away at the door I was greeted by a mechanical bull. Then country musicians, the front-end of an old Chevy pick-up, and a moose head mounted on the wall.
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.
An impromptu dinner on a Friday evening took us to Torafuku, the new brick and mortar location brought to you by the Le Tigre food truck team. Frankly, and feeling guilty to admit to it, I never ate at Le Tigre. With the rave reviews about Le Tigre, I was quite excited to try Torafuku.
Taking PaPa Lam to a Canucks game on one Saturday brought us to downtown for a quick bite. We wanted something closer to the stadium so we ended up at Jimmy's Tap House. I have only been there once for a power lunch and I thought its fish tacos weren't too bad.
Continuing the theme of craft beer, just this past week a new craft beer restaurant has officially opened its door in the Olympic Village -- CRAFT Beer Market. Just before its grand opening day, I invited Bryan to join me at their sneak preview event to check out the space.
