[Williams-Sonoma Granville opens this weekend]

well first impressions, over-hyped, over-priced, underwhelming

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

edit: ok went by again today, and yes it is indeed still there sign and all, i had the location wrong( thought it was one of those 3 other houses) further up the same block

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

i'm only going by the fact that the sign is longer out front, i was zipping past so didn't go up to the door

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

i know i'm probably waaay behind here, but when did villa de lupo close? never go by there, so just noticed, and is that why caffe de lupo closed?

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

sad to say that duffin's on main closes tommorow, so long tasty as hell sammies, i know about the knight street location but am never over that way

[Timbre]

i walked into soma the other day and was disgusted to get a waft of what smelled like cat piss, never a good thing

just opened at the seabus station of all places transcontinental railway lounge by the steamworks ppl, looks very big and swanky (and expensive too!) patio out front , no view what a shame

[best fixed price lunch vancouver]

have a few in mind but would love to hear what others recommmend

[avocado oil]

thanks for the tips i called g.w and they sell 2 brands with the cheapest being $11 again for a 250 ml bottle, guess they figure they'd never sell any at the price they'd have to charge for a 500ml or 1L bottle

[avocado oil]

ya thats the stuff they had, it was organic and all , i would prefer non-organic as its soooo expensive as it is

[avocado oil]

already posted in ingredient thread but thought it might get lost there, anyways caper's had it for $18 for a measly 250 ml bottle, not doing that , will pay a premium but that much of one

[Vancouver/Western Canada Ingredient Sources Topic]

can anyone tell where i can buy avocado oil at a not too ridiculous price, caper's had organic at $18 for get this a 250 ml bottle, i know its gonna cost more than your average evoo and am willing to pay the extra but that caper's price is not something i'm willing to pay, heard its even available at safeway but wasn't at the one on robson

[Pizza]

i disagree , go down to commercial and have a walk around

st. germain bakery now open denman @ davie

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

a bread affair on denman now closed, after a mere month or two, i never did get how they could have so much shelf space with such little product on it

[Openings and closings (2006–2008 part 2)]

not really opening or a closing but more "obscurity" i guess the pic pub on pender is now serving a-y-c-e indian buffet, $8.95 i believe, has (is) anyone brave enough to try?

[Deals around town]
