News From The Hood: Vancouver South

April 22, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I am sad to report that Oliver’s Café on Victoria Drive has officially closed. Reg and I went to visit it at the beginning of the year and we really loved the food and our server was cute as a button. I have a feeling that they wanted to appeal to the high school crowd […]

Storm Crow Tavern

April 13, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Would you believe me if I told you I went to a tavern called The Storm Crow? We had heard rumours of the existence of a tavern for geeks with Cthulhu on the wall along with battle axes, crossbows and ray guns. I wouldn’t believe me either except I saw it with me own eyes! […]

Foodie Exploration: Main Street Part II

March 2, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

After Stephanie and I geared up on food at Caffè Artigiano on Main Street, we set out to explore the east side of Main Street and check out the houses and neighbourhood that used to be a marsh. Stephanie had heard of a café being in the middle of the burb and wondered if it was still […]

Valentine’s Day at French Made Baking

February 16, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

It absolutely amazes me that right at 81 Kingsway in Vancouver at Broadway you will find a little cafe that will take you to Paris called French Made Baking. I wanted to be swept away on Valentine’s Day. To feel like I was in the most romantic city in the world. Paris of course. Reg […]

Suzie the Foodie Spy: Investigates Kent’s Kitchen

February 12, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a spy. I wanted to be the girl with the notebook trying to get intel on the bad guys and get them into serious trouble. No one ever pays attention to me anyway and oh the secrets I could get! But then I realized I am […]

Birthday Lunch at Tibisti Grill

January 26, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

On my birthday I wanted to go out to lunch and have a beef wrap/shawarma/donair… Reg introduced me to this delicious and wonderful treat after we first met and it is not something I usually make for myself. I suggested we go to Tabisti Grill for my birthday lunch. It was in the middle of […]

The Gallery Café, Vancouver, BC

January 12, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

What could be better than spending the afternoon at the Vancouver Art Gallery‘s café (aptly named Gallery Café) talking about publishing, food, zumba and embroidery? I can’t think of anything! We checked out the gallery before going to the café to see if it was busy. The lineup went out the door and around the block! OK, […]

I Am Taking A Foodie Long Weekend!

November 28, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Thursday it became official! I am now a resident of British Columbia. Reg and I walked through Metrotown Mall celebrating while sipping on Booster Juice and wow, did it ever feel like the holidays were here! The photo above is of Metrotown, the mall that gives me panic attacks on the weekends. So I am […]

Revisiting Foodie Bliss: BBQ Pork Buns

November 12, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Ever since I lived in Toronto I have loved meat buns. I have tried making them myself, here is my first attempt. They were good but they just are not the same as getting them from a Chinese market. The last time I lived in Vancouver I soon became a vegetarian so they were off limits. […]

Supreme Pizza & Foodie Nostalgia

November 3, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

When Reg and I were waiting to take the “IKEA bus” to Richmond right after we moved to Vancouver, I was so surprised to see a foodie treasure still existed: Supreme Pizza. Their pizza was my absolute favourite of all time and when we left Vancouver, I mourned the loss of that pizza from my […]
