This blog started as a food diary to document my eating experiences in the Lower Mainland. I find that as I eat out more and more, I tend to forget about certain restaurants/dishes and the thoughts I had during the meal. At the end of September 2012, I relocated from Vancouver to Edmonton and am getting ready to explore the city for good eats.

The only thing stopping me was its location on the Northside (149 St and 137 Ave) which is far from my usual areas of activity. It also doesn't h...

Vintage Fork - Afternoon Tea
I was very disappointed when the Arbour Room at Rutherford House closed down 5 years ago due to financial difficulties and the chef's unexpected resignation.
