Italian Day on Commercial Drive 2017

June 11, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

We did it! We have heard about Italian Day on The Drive since the first time we moved to Vancouver back in 2000 but the sound of the crazy crowds kept us away. This year it was a nice day, the event is free so we figured, why not? Let’s go check it out! Food […]

Etsy Vancouver Market: Winter 2016

December 4, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I just got back from travelling to North Vancouver to check out the Etsy Vancouver Market at The Pipe Shop Building. You know I am in serious adventure mode when I take the seabus across the water to North Vancouver! The Venue Unlike when I went to the Etsy market back in September 2014, there was […]

CandyTown? I don’t think so…

November 26, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

It is rare for me to write about something before going to it but I did so for CandyTown 2016. The promise of candy was just too hard to resist, even on a super crappy rainy day in Vancouver. I braved the elements and took a bus and Skytrain down to Yaletown and was so […]

CandyTown Returns to Vancouver This Weekend!

November 22, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

My apologies for promoting this event. It really was not about candy just selling anything and everything. It was so disappointing. There is a cool free holiday festival coming up this Saturday November 26, 2016 in Yaletown from noon until 7 pm called CandyTown! “…a free Christmas festival that invites holidaymakers to indulge in the season’s […]

I Starved At Fan Expo 2016

November 16, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I love going to conventions! Besides being a foodie I am a total geek. Since moving back to the west coast I have been to one convention. It was Fan Expo Vancouver 2015. It was fantastic! The venue was large, there were food trucks, it was in the spring so the weather was great… Zero […]

Anna Olson’s Cookbook “Bake with Anna” Signing at Gourmet Warehouse

November 2, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

It was a very dark and bleak day yesterday when I rode the bus to the Gourmet Warehouse to see Anna Olson! I missed my chance to see her when I was in Toronto but there was no way I was going to miss her while she visited Vancouver. Anna Olson has been promoting her EIGHTH […]

The Artisan Market at The Anvil Centre

August 21, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I received an invite to attend the Artisan Market at the Anvil Centre which was also happening during the Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest. Art AND food?! My two favourite things! And both events were FREE! The Venue I had never been to the Anvil Centre before so I was happy to check it out. There was […]

I Survived YVR Food Fest

August 8, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I was very excited to go to YVR Food Fest but had some hesitations. I found it odd that to get a general admission ticket for $10 I had to wait to go until after 2 pm. The location also worried me. It was being held at The Olympic Village which seemed kind of vague to me. It […]

Chocolats Favoris Grand Opening in Victoria on July 1, 2016

June 30, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

It is always exciting to receive a hand-delivered treat at the front door but this one was especially exciting. Why? It was compliments of Chocolats Favoris! And what is it? A chocolate fondue in a can! Why? Because Chocolats Favoris is opening a new location on Vancouver Island this long weekend. They will be opening a […]

President’s Choice Holiday Hosting 101 Event

November 24, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I was one of the lucky people to attend Holiday Hosting 101 Event and Workshop by President’s Choice in downtown Vancouver today. We learned everything from tree decorating to the importance of tall but thin floral arrangements. We also got to taste products from the Holiday Insider’s Report and Collection of course! Our hosts were Chef Andrea Buckett and Kelly Deck of Kelly […]
