Joe Fortes is alright in my books. The review's hardly fair considering the guy doesn't eat seafood and had beef for the better part of his meal. :lol |

If you guys are looking for grocery delivery during this time https://shop.legendshaul.com/friends-of-legends.html This is a friend of mine who is in the restaurant distribution business who carries ready made meals/sauces/etc from our restaurant and other locally owned small restaurants across BC. It’s a good way to support them who have helped us keep people employed doing production this last year and keep them getting these products from local restaurants. Also, consider hitting up a patio and dress for the weather, get takeout directly from the restaurants and pick up off sales from them as well instead of your BCLC liquor store. Every little bit helps. |

The basketball game was fun to play for fun while drinking lol ... I didn't get a chance to eat there, maybe I'll give the burger a try next time, it's not too far from my home. Quote:

I have no problem going to Joe Fortes; happy hour is always good, I go there at least 5-8 times a year. Good deals and good beer being poured by the bar. NO you're not getting the hot waitresses but meh. oysters are $1, for happy hour.. i ain't complaining. |
Bells & Whistles is in my neighbourhood and I really want them to succeed, but every time I have gone there I have left disappointed. Beer prices are slightly higher, food portions are slightly smaller than other places at the price point. For $18, I want more than 10 fries with my burger if it is going to be served in a plastic basket. Soft serve is good, but I ultimately feel a bit ripped off every time I go. They need to figure out how to provide better value if they want to be a sports bar with burgers and sandwiches. |
Everything else in this world has increased in cost. Food is no different, however, I’m of the mindset I’d definitely rather pay $22 and be super stoked on it than pay $18 and not be satisfied. It’s a tough line to tread. A good friend of mine said. There is no such thing as cheap food. Either the person producing it pays for it with their working conditions, you pay for it with your health, or you pay for it with your money. |
Had Pidgin's 7-course tasting menu + drink pairing over the weekend. Fun experience that was well packaged and presented, with some DIY stuff at home that made it more engaging. Drink pairing elevated it to be a more special experience. Was pricey but happy to support a long-time Vancouver staple. Although I may have left a few of the last courses out too long at room temp, had a bit of the runs the next day (sorry for TMI). |

The American does provide a bigger portion for their fries and White Spot has unlimited fries but I'm an old man that can't finish what they serve anyways so portion size doesn't matter to me anymore - I just want good food regardless of serving size. |
The only time I really notice price is when the food is shit Other than that I wouldn’t really go into any place and think oh this is a couple bucks more than some other place. Although I will say, I have a hard time tipping when I get sandwiches from Big Star Sandwhich. Basically full take out zero service other than handing you your food but when your paying $15 for a 10 inch sandwhich, tipping the 10-15% as a courtesy for whatever reason is hard for me to stomach when that sandwhich is now costing me 16-17 alone. Love their sandos though but fuck, the price point is tough |
Big Star didn’t blow me away.. only tried it once though. What I can’t stand is restaurants charging like $20 for a very meh salad as my wife tends to go green. We make waaaay better salads at home. No comparison. My general restaurant rule is I tend to order things I don’t make at home regularly. Unless I’m at a true steak house, I’m not ordering one, as an example. Braised short rib is pretty much a must order at any new restaurant I try. Anything unique that grabs my attention, I’ll give it a try. I know White Rock is a journey for many on this forum, but if you’re ever hungry and near the ocean out this way, I recommend the Serrano honey ginger glazed back ribs at Washington Avenue Grill. How do you see that on a menu and not order it? Lol |

Places like that I get stuck on one or two sandwhichs and never try anything else lol..the turkey one with the crispy sticks and Mac sauce is killer. Also like the cold cut one with peppercinis and chipotle The roast beef one was gross though |

I don't know about you guys but running out of fries halfway into my burger is a huge turn off haha I'm a - take a bite of burgers, chase with fries then beer kinda guy. I know some friends who just eat ALL the fries THEN pick up their burger ... https://media3.giphy.com/media/dILrA...xPYN/giphy.gif |
I eat the med rare burger over my fries so all the juice and sauce drips on the fries, then eat all the fries. If you can put down the burger after the first bite without the entire thing exploding it’s not juicy enough. |

My ex used to do the opposite, she'd eat her burger first, then attack the fries. I'd always look at her and go wtf :badpokerface: Now your fries are all cold :lol If you guys are burger heads, you gotta try between2bunsburgers, they make smashed burgers, and they're friggin amazing. The owner is great as well, I visit these dudes every few weeks. |

Missing med rare burgers with the border closed.. |
Go to the gull in North Vancouver when dine in is back on. The best burgers in Van IMO. They cook them medium, but sometimes you hit the med rare lottery. |
Just checked out the gull’s menu. Looks like a good spot. Want to try to try those pork belly nugz now lol |
They have a patio I might check them out when I have time to hit up North Van. I tend to stay away from crossing the bridge unless I have to... and this burger recommended by westopher just might do it :fullofwin: |
Speaking of which, I went for their 5 course tasting menu last Saturday. Amazing meal, amazing service, as always. |
