Food and Drink

Cioffi's is at 4142 Hastings St., Burnaby. Mr Choy already blogged about the awesomeness that is Cioffi's in The Heights (because Burnaby is awesome, too!) and naturally his foto is miles better than mine.

Have you heard about Grooster yet? It's a Vancouver-based group buying web site that offers an amazing limited time offer every day.

While the city still awaits a proper taco truck during the bewildering street food trial run, it's good to revisit what options remain available.

The bar has been raised for gelato. Bella Gelateria is the new boy in the Vancouver gelato world and this place is destroying the competition. If you are looking for potentially the best gelato in the world, try this place out.

While we have a 'no nudity' policy here at VIA, that's not going to stop me from posting things that I find..... Mildly.....erotic. Caught yesterday morning, $20 a fish...$15 not gutted.

One of the best things about being in Vancouver is how close we are to the border. It makes cross border shopping more doable than if you lived in, say, some other place that was not as close to the border. There, I said it.

Growing up in Steveston, the one place you never went to buy fish was the docks. This seems backwards now, but back then fishing was such a big part of the community that everyone knew someone that could hook them up.

Literally a few doors down from the Height's swinging Helen icon , Thai Cafe is the best Thai restaurant in Burnaby (in my lifelong Burnaby residential opinion).

Yesterday our good friends at the Museum of Vancouver launched their latest exhibit entitled Home Grown: Local Sustainable Food and, as you might have suspected, it's quite awesome.

After trying the Mars bar and the oreos last year, I had to step up and try the jelly beans this year. The verdict? I wouldn't buy them again, but if you bought them and offered me a bite....I'd take some.
