Last Day at the PNE

September 5, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie Leave a Comment

I did not think we were going to get to go to the PNE this summer. Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition can be a ton of fun but Reg has had an extremely busy summer. I was having my doubts that we were going to make it this year. Thankfully yesterday, the last day of the […]

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 […]

Make It Show Vancouver 2017

April 23, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I must admit, I was a little grumpy by the time I got to Make It! at the PNE in Vancouver. Crazy people on the bus, so much rain and darkness… I really REALLY wanted to have some fun after paying my $5 to get in. The Venue Considering the weather, I am not surprised […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“Love on a Plate” at the PNE

August 24, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

So you all know I have been super “burned out” lately. Reg came home on Saturday afternoon and said that it was the opening day at the PNE (our Ex) and Colin James was performing tonight. I thought to myself, too bad, I’m tired and I’m going to bed. It was 2 pm. I did go […]
