Padres pit stop on the way to Portland
On this trip, I was alone…. What this meant was that I didn’t have to go to Teriyaki Point, where Little Man likes to feast on plain white rice and a small skewer of teriyaki shrimp. I could go anywhere I wanted. I wanted Mexican.
Meat Fighter: Triple O’s vs. White Spot
Ok, so a little about my new series, Meat Fighter.
The background: I wanted to run a Versus series that pitted two burgers against each other.
The name: Obviously inspired by the 80s/90s video game, Street Fighter.
For those of you who aren’t on the up and up on Street Fighter, despite the fact that I am utterly disgusted with your ignorance at the moment, I will share a little about the video game from the “most trusted source for information,” Wikipedia.
Noho’s is Ono Kine Grinds
Portland, how I miss you! I miss your quaint old neighbourhoods and how everyone bicycles everywhere whenever possible. But I especially miss how you actually have Hawaiian food, unlike Vancouver. Sure, Urbanspoon lists one Hawaiian restaurant in the Lower Mainland, but I looked up the menu and it is NOT Hawaiian food.
Burger Burger Blunder Blunder
Burger Burger reminded me of the Burger Bar version of Bon’s Off Broadway, which I call The Greasiest of Greasy Spoons. Except that Burger Burger had all of the grime and none of the charm of Bon’s.
Holly’s Poultry in Motion—Odd Name, Good Food
My friend Victoria sent me a text a few days ago. Apparently I needed to try breakfast at “Poultry in Motion” in White Rock. Huh? What kind of name is that? Sounds like a butcher’s shop or a meat market that deals exclusively in fowl. Do I really want to eat breakfast from a place called Poultry in Motion?
Eight 1/2 knows its Mac
We were greeted by an expressionless and monotone waitress droid, but I was so happy to be spending some time with my coworkers outside of work that I didn’t really notice too much.
