600 people standing in a field eating and drinking. Wow. That may not sound that exciting, but let me tell you — it was. Feast of Fields is an event put on by the Farm Folk City Folk organization and is held annually in the Okanagan, Lower Mainland, and on Vancouver Island. This year’s Okanagan [...]

Bacheloritis: Lone Steak
Every now and again bacheloritis sets in and rather than try to fight it sometimes it’s best to run with it. Like the old saying goes, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” For this dinner I decided to go with the culinary equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up — a plain steak. No [...]
Gene Cafe
This is one of the coolest coffee shops I’ve been to, and is the perfect blend of java and single-speed riding skinny jeaned hipster culture. It’s Saturday morning, and I’m at Gene, on the fork of the Main Street and Kingsway junction, surrounded by hung-over hipsters sporting the latest in sneaker trends and counter culture [...]
Turks Coffee Exchange
Vancouver is such a great coffee city and Commercial Drive is a particularly awesome place to go for a coffee. When on the Drive I seem to have two favourites these days, both at opposite ends. On the South End I prefer Prado Cafe, and on the North End I seem to frequent Turks. Turks [...]
Burgoo Lunch
I’ve been to Burgoo many times for dinner and love the hearty homestyle concept of stews and tagine dishes. I’m a big fan of the Lamb Tagine with couscous. I’d never really given Burgoo much thought for lunch, but after a morning of biking in North Van I was starving and the line-up at the [...]
Pullman Wine Bar Montréal
I’m wandering the streets of Montréal on a cold and wet fall night when I stumble on a place just off Rue Sherbrooke called Pullman. It’s not a name that strikes me as a wine-snob type place, but one glance at the chandelier makes me love it. Montréal is an amazing place to eat, and [...]
Burger 55 The Best Burger in Penticton
Burger 55 is without a doubt the best burger in Penticton, and very possibly one of the best burgers in the Okanagan. The place is an eclectic transformation of an old back-lot tire shack into a gourmet burger shop, and makes for a great lunch or dinner stop. The menu is a full custom order [...]
Canned Semillon Peaches
Joy Road Catering Semillon Peaches. If you have a chance to get your hands on these at the Penticton Farmer’s Market do it! Nothing like a little wine and with your fruit and maybe a little ice cream too.
Holy Crêpe
The start of the Farmers Market in Penticton is always exciting as it marks the beginning of the good eating season. After a winter of eating pale flavourless vegetables we can go back to the glory of eating from the garden. Waking up and going straight to Carol’s crêpe cart for breakfast is also quickly [...]
Corn Flake Efficiency
If you’ve read my blog before you’ll know that I love a well designed product. That is not exclusive only to gadgets and home furnishings, but also to food. In this case I stumble on a row of Kellog’s Corn Flake Crumbs. Neatly packed in old-school looking white boxes and tucked away above the freezer [...]
