My favorite everyday drinker is Delaforce Late Bottle Vintage.

You knockin ferry food Keith?..........wait till that union gets on you. I bet they'd have no problem shutting them down again if you didn't agree to retract your statement.

Soba your missing one important thing to make 40 cloves of garlic chicken off the charts. Simply serve it with a warm artisan sourdough and a wack of the best chevre you can find. Put the chicken on a carving board on the table. Put a piece of carved chicken on the bread, then the goat cheese (will melt lovely) and then root out a couple pieces of the nutty roasted garlic. With a nice Pinot and your laughing.

Mainlining sugar and white rice as he was jogging which is hard to have the balance to do. Then he slipped and............

At 253 pounds I'm sure Atkins was.

Black Tie that is a very swanky website. Nice cocktails. .....And the Bison Grass! That was mentioned in another thread as having hallucinogenic properties like Absinthe?

Citadelle hands down as well. Nothing is smoother. Not even Barry White.

1) Capers, especially when someone destroys really nice smoked sockeye with them. 2) Deep fried curly onions as a garnish on top of an appetizer. 3) I worked at a place where I sold about 200 pounds of squid a month. I cannot eat squid anymore. 4) anything they serve up on Fear Factor.

I like the Leonard Cohen idea. Cohen, Suzuki Roshi, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Ginsberg.

Take candles as well.

It doesn't matter that SOBO is closed or that it is a truck. SOBO is a good lesson on what to do in Tofino for dinner. Get your friends, go surfing or hiking then get some causal dinner and take it to the beach and watch the waves and feel alive outside. My advice is to go to Trilogy Fish Co. and get some indian candy smoked salmon and maybe some smoked albacore if they got it ( in the Weigh West Hotel complex) then go to the Sunflower Cafe and get a whole wack of take out stuff, then go to then go to the Liqour Store and get a bottle of champagne. Then walk past the liquor store, past the hospital, and about a half kilometer down the road till you get to a park with swings, turn right and follow the road another half kilometer as it winds itself to Tonquin Beach Park. You walk down through the rainforest along cedar boardwalks and get to the best beach ever. If you continue to the left (it takes a bit of hiking but worth it) you'll get to four of the coolest private beaches you've ever seen. Put your blanket down and feast. Enjoy everyones company. Talk about how good life is. Then you'll know why everyone knows that SOBO is the fanciest place to eat dinner in Tofino on a Saturday night even if it is just a truck parked in a gravel pit.

And I thought Egulleters were all wise, organic, buying locally and thinking globally kind of people. It's sad.

After reading the thread on "College students not smoking and drinking enough" I think it's your civic (if not national) duty to turn the tide here - the recipe for dinner is simple enough: 120 kids @ 4 Budwiesers a kid + one massive cigar a kid = no need to cook dinner. If you tell them they only have ten minutes to smoke the cigar wicked results will ensue. Plus you'll be getting these kids back on track in their "experimental" stage of their life. Myself, in university (Colorado!!!!) I lived on 8 or nine beers with a couple of margarita's and Kentucky Fried every once in awhile. I got scurvy but sure to hell it made me a better person. If you'd like a stronger alcohol recipe I'd be more than happy to oblige.

Well duh, of course St**b**cks.

...........I am clearly embarassed to have forgotten Liv Tyler (in Lord of Rings get-up) as our waitress.

Bourdain, Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski and Abbie Hoffman at French Laundry with enough time to shoot off some shotguns in the garden between each course.

Thanks for the post Merlin. I'm still looking in on this thread and appreciating the feedback.

I love my blue Le Crueset. I got it for christmas. I have wanted one since I was fifteen. I cook eggs in it and even used it for a rum punch at my last dinner get together. Get one, you'll sleep with it.

Le Creuset! I call it a braising pot but I fit a smaller turkey in that sucker last week. I got it for christmas. I wanted one of them for ten years but $300 buys a lot of beer. You'll never want to use another pot again.

2pm - 4:15pm: 8 lucky lagers on the beach. Lit raging fire out of a washed up tire and a few sections of some poor bastards fence. 4:30 - 5:00: Ahoy! At least six good slugs of rum found in bacardi bottle that was found in bathroom under sink whilst looking for tums. 6:00 - 6:40:Pounded 3 big sapporo's at sushi bar to keep me occupied and too busy to resort to violence as two tourists (You Know What Country) revelled in telling me and the whole damn place how they were on some dive trip all day cracking open abalone (endangered species in this country) to feed to wolf eels. Wahoooooo Boys! 6:45 - 6:59: How the hell do you lose 300 smackeroos in 14 minutes at blackjack? 7:00 - 9:30: $1 drinks due to local "price war" + middle aged cougars on the prowl = 6-10 stoli's (admittedly it was embarassing to go to all that trouble of shmoozing for $6-$10 bucks worth of drinks) 10:00: Camus Extrodinaire cognac in the tub ready for one good snooze.

blueberries

Thanks Young, great suggestions. Paul

6 pack Lucky Lager A Porterhouse. green beans in love with butter and garlic. Enough said.

I've been out in the sticks for eight months and am looking to try something new in Vancouver. Has anyone been to Bis Moreno (sp?) and have a review of their experience? Likewise, if you have any other interesting suggestions of new restaurants I'd be most appreciative. Paul

30 courses of rabbit lip foam and deconstructed marine iguana's feet with slivered pistachio's. You're in for a treat!
