Last summer we introduced some of you to Jonker Street.
That was then…Jonker Street has CLOSED.
Apparently, under what appears to under the same management from what I can tell and a new ‘take-out inspired South East Asian’ theme, Jonker Street’s re-incarnation (read: uses the same phone number, etc) is Fresh Bowl.
It’s really to bad, actually, as [...]

I was forced to take piano lessons as a kid.
So that sucked.
Picking up on that concept, in terms of the ‘that sucked’ factor, the past year or so has thrown a couple of service experiences my way that I think are worth yammering on about:
Waiting 15 minutes to order a beer
Questioning why scrambled eggs take [...]

Very friendly staff…until you need to return something.
I wasn’t told about their “no returns” policy until after I tried [...]
Today was a good day.
I played some tennis.
I got to chill out at Hollyburn on the top patio in the sun.
I rode my bike along the seawall.
I had lunch with a buddy at Yaletown Brew Pub (sorry, Kath…service was ON this time).
And we just got back from seeing Julie & Julia…nicely done, Sony Pictures; kinda [...]
I’m not going to yammer on about the food at Dae Bak Bon Ga (aka Korean BBQ joint)…no sir.
We didn’t come for it; by the smells that were wafting out of the restaurant, though, maybe we should have.
So on to my story.
We were celebrating a friend’s birthday. And, it never seems to get tired…it [...]
It was like any other Thursday…
The only difference was that:
1) our fridge was empty
2) neither of us felt like cooking (which would have necessitated filling said fridge - see #1 above)
3) Maenam, one of the newer kids on the block (West 4th) was beckoning (in Thai)
A few months back I had came across some great [...]

All I wanted was some wine gums!
Alas…it wasn’t meant to be.
I’ll cut it to you quickly, for an upcoming event that I’m taking part in planning (smirk), I needed some candy:
1) in large quantities
2) from a very specific set of manufactuerers
3) STAT
After unsuccesful attemps at perusing Costco (tried both the Yaletown Costco and the ‘other [...]
What’s black, white and red all over?
Here’s a clue - you can’t buy one for 50 cents, fold it up and put it under your arm.
The answer - Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchen.
Erin reviewed her Wok Box Calgary service experience with this snappy little asian food concept kitchen a little while back.
And, like any eager [...]
For some strange reason, I can’t stop thinking about olives.
Scratch that…I know damn well why - it’s because of my latest experience at Nook.
Before you go off thinking that Nook has got the olive market cornered and that’s what they should be known for - think again:
1) they don’t
2) they’ve got a lot more stuff [...]

Today is the day…my birthday.
And, just my luck, it happens to be raining (guess we’ll have to shelve the game of lawn darts for next year).
This post is going to be short because I don’t feel like writing a lot. I do like meat a lot, however, so here’s the beef:
1) Jackson’s Meats in Kits [...]
Last summer, one of our readers sent us quite the story about her experience with Browns Shoes in Vancouver’s Pacific Centre Mall.
Seems like another one of our readers had another interesting encounter whilst trying to purchase shoes. This time, however, two-and-a-half things were different:
1) it involves Joneve Shoes (777 Park Royal North - in West [...]
This pop reference may be a little out-of-place, but I really don’t care - for those of you who have taken notice of Beyonce’s call for action, and are looking for a place to make it happen in Vancouver, that place, based on service and pricing, has got to be Crest Jewellers.
In my view, and [...]
