bit of a shocker, well for me anyway, but prima taste on robson is gone now a japanese place

ya i thought of that place, but as a last resort, more looking for supermarket prices, pre-packaged if poss

my local purveyor has stopped carrying them, superstore somertimes has them(lillydale, which are great ) or they can be in-house cut, last few times i've gone to grandview ss no joy and its a long way for me to travel only to come away empty- handed, i live near english bay and don't mind a journey as long as they have them

more of a re-branding as such but the sequoia grill in stanley park will be re-named the teahouse again as of may 14, to coincide with its 30th anniversary

too bad as i always held some hope that she would re-open another place here in town btw did velvet actually go out of business or did she just close it because she neede aa change, anyone know? i still find it very strange as the place had tonnes of great press and a very loyal following, James Barber to name just one

not sure if this was mentioned but nuba on hastings has moved (is moving?) to the old spot occupied by the mouse and the bean

don't remember exactly was only in there but once, briefly, but what i do recall was that it looked like downtown $1 a slice pizza at more than double the price, i guess in that location the rent would be huge but still......

Sarpino's? What kind of prices are we talking about? I checked the website and there were no prices ... just tellin' me to check my local franchise for current prices. ←

scarpino's pizza on denman gone. no surprise as their prices were a joke, only surprise is that its actually a chain

i want to try it because i have heard so much about it but have yet to taste it

actually i called intercity packers not stong's

imo stong's is a very tired looking, over-rated and expensive grocery store located in dunbar

well i made the trek out to stong's( a store i'm no fan of ) yesterday only to have a very snotty butcher(ess?) tell me that they haven't got any and haven't been able to get a hold of any since at least last summer

thanks for the tip and info, i just called and the woman told me it wasn't popular and that she didn't think they sold it to any retail outlets, she thought only restaurants of which she could't supply me with any names

nice its a step in the right direction, anyone know if it would be a reasonable substitution or not even close?

i know its a slim chance but does anyone know if it is possible to buy it retail in the lower mainland

just had a look at the lunch menu for db and its pretty sparse to say the least , they only list 6 items

she was chef/owner of the once very heralded and now sadly closed velvet cafe in vancouver, just wondering if she is still in the food industry

a new place "urban burger" is set to open in the space right beside la brassrie on daive

regardlesss it still comes across as very arrogant to me

yup that and i remember him saying something to the effect that i wasn't up to him to get along with Dale Mckay it was up to Mckay to get along with him, a tad pretentious and pig- headed if you ask me

oh i don't know ramsay seems like a pretty laid back dude

does anyone else get the impression that guy would be one very tough sob to work for?
