Vancouver Bites into Eat! Vancouver food + cooking festival
I coughed up 8 tickets for two authentic tacos. A rotund patron whined, “Eight tickets?! They are so small!” Let me tell you, with most restaurants asking 4-5 tickets per Lilliputian serving, I didn’t understand the objection. Obviously, this husky visitor had never seen an authentic Mexican taco. Yes, they are smaller than the super-sized heart-stoppers that you’ll get from an Americanized “Mexican” fast food joint, but the flavour more than makes up for the size. Quality over quantity here.

Sprinkling goat cheese on top of refried beans does not make it authentic (Dios mio, why does this keep happening?!).
Acme Mac: Vancouver’s Best Mac’n'Cheese?
I am about to make a bold claim: I have found the so-titled “Best Mac in Vancouver…So Far.” The Acme Café has now set the standard for Macaroni and Cheese. From here on out, all Macs will be compared with the Acme Mac.
Mac’n'Cheese Choices in the Park
On my mission to find the word’s best Macaroni and Cheese, I intend to try every Mac’n'Cheese that I find. Whether that Mac’n'Cheese comes from the kitchen of my next-door neighbour, a culinary institute, a trendy new restaurant, or the greasiest of greasy-spoon diners, it doesn’t matter. Remember: food snobbery has no place here…
Diner Mac at The Templeton
As the waitress picked up my plate, she commented, “Wow, you really polished that off.”
Breakfast with the Bees at Willows Cafe at Mandeville
I don’t mind bees. I trust that they don’t want to sting me any more than I want to be stung…
