Who makes a Greek style pizza that I must try in town?

There’s this place that keeps popping up for me in Maple Ridge, Chads pizza

Looks a lot like an old neighborhood place we used to order from for years and years growing up.

Other than that, Sunrise on commercial, Neighbours and Best Neighbours in Vancouver, Johnny’s on Oak

All pretty good

[whitev70r]

Is it racist if you espouse and appreciate the goodness of a particular culture?

^racist!

all cultures are inherently good. except those fucking Inuits. i hate them so much.

If having big boobs isn't genetic, I dunno what is. :badpokerface:

[westopher]

Diet and exercise?

[Traum]

Diet for sure. After all, if someone is malnourished, no amount of big boobed genes is gonna get the girl those big boobs.

Exercise... I'm not so sure. Boobs are mostly composed of fat, glands, and some connective tissues, and I don't think exercises would help with any of that? You can do weight training exercises to bulk up your pecs, and I guess that can probably increases a typical girl's cup size by some small amount? maybe half a cup to a full cup at most?

So who are these idiots that is claiming the Sidney Sweeney ad to be racist? My google searching is completely fxxked now bcos I made the mistake of clicking on a Fox News article about this 1 time, and now all Google is giving me on this topic is garbage from Fox News and other hardcore right wing websites.

Just go on Reddit and you'll find pages of weirdos complaining about it being racist and insensitive to the current climate in the US by having a hot white girl say she has good genes (jeans). Change the ad to some 400lbs black chick and these same people would love the ad (and still not buy their jeans).

[Badhobz]

People are idiots. These ultra left retards who cry about racism at every opportunity are just as bad as the maga fucks.

[spoon.ek9]

All this pizza talk just reminds me how much I miss the Delissio thin crust pizzas. The lowest price I ever got them for was $2.87 each and they were GREAT! It's probably the only thing I'd travel to the US for :lol

[RevYouUp]

I went to Italy a couple of months ago and only enjoyed pizza at one place I went to. Maybe because I grew up "poor" and chinese, I enjoy cheap shitty pizza over fancy pizza. Pizza hut and Dominos for me lmao.

[red kryptonite]

Agreed, I don’t like artisan pizza either. Give this fat fuck a greasy deep dish loaded with toppings.

[spoon.ek9]

Pizza Hut and Dominoes aren't even cheap anymore. Frozen pizzas nowadays hover around $4-$5 when on sale Guiseppe's for example).

I like to find pizza hacks when I live in an area...

Like find a pizza place that has a cheap 16" pizza and add toppings to it and extra cheese... At $2 a pop, you're getting a huge fuckin' pizza loaded for like $25-30 and each slice weighs as much as a $5 shit frozen pizza.

Fashion is weird, it's so cyclical.

I'd never imagine those types of jeans would make their return, but here we are, 70s jeans are in

I didn't live through it but 70s jeans were actually look kinda nice. They were form fitted at the top and just wide at the bottom.

Dunno wtf Gen-Zers are thinking in the 2020s now, everyone just looks like they're wearing potato sacks on their legs.

I think that's dinner suit (darker, less business-like cut) or lowkey tuxedo preferred for men but any sort of semi-formal gear is fine (like any dark suit). It's more a signal to the women about what to wear - (shorter) dresses instead of gowns.

Tangent: Do any of you have a suit that's suitable for funerals? And if you don't what's your plan if someone drops dead? Since I almost never wear suits I only really have one suit - a dark blue one that's 7 years old that I've worn maybe 10-12 times. I have two tailored dress shirts for them and that's my entire formal attire (my wedding suit in a light grey could technically be used if needed for a formal event - that's 11 years old)

Nah, those potato sack jeans still look dumb regardless of who they are on. See my previous comment re: Sydney Sweeney.

They basically only "work" - and I use that term lightly - on teens and early 20-somethings with stick figures because they draw attention to their tiny waists and give them an illusion of a bigger ass.

I think when it comes to dress codes you should take it as seriously as the type of host that is putting it in place and the guests who will attend. If its someone you know who is laid back and most of the guests arent the type to take the code too seriously then maybe dial it back as well. Ive been to a few weddings that specified black tie but then you think of who will be attending and its lots of aunties and uncles that don’t even read the dress codes or are too old or fob to care.

If youre in a real professional environment with mad men type of people then maybe take the dress codes quite literally. My preference is always to dress down one notch that way i never look like an overdressed douche, but i can always be sure there will still be many people dressed even more casual than myself so I find that to be a pretty safe rule, especially in Vancouver but probably also Toronto to some degree.

[bcrdukes]

I only have ankle socks and the ones that go just below your knees (tube socks?). I have never really understood the whole crew sock trend for the younger generation these days.

Ancient Greece (8th century BC): Greeks wore something called piloi, made of matted animal hair. Basically caveman felt boots for the rich.

We've been having biblical level rain over the past 3 or so days, breaking monthly records going back decades even though it's only the 5th. City shut down this morning, so my wife got to stay home.. but then the monkey paw curled

We live in the top level of a 3 storey village house, so we get the roof.. Occasionally the gutter will get clogged with leaves, and during storms I have to keep them clear to keep things flowing. I told the story before of running out during a hurricane to unclog them, as neighbours watched through their window LUL

Well they got just clogged overnight, and the rain was heavier than it's been in decades, so the water got deep enough to come in through the rooftop door, and we had a waterfall flowing through our stairwell. Fun times! We were able to manage to avoid a complete catastrophe though. Just a big mess

I said during that bad storm 5 (or so) years ago, that there is no worse feeling than having your shelter feel inadequate to deal with the weather. We were inconvenienced, but were able to clean up today. A lot of people have it much worse, and my heart goes out to them. It's an awful awful feeling.

[6793026]

Well it's also crazy few (many yrs back) stores had all their stock floating down the streets due to floods. Hope you're staying safe and your watch parts don't get wet!

[SkinnyPupp]

My workshop stayed dry.. My office had some water in it and I have no idea where it came from... guessing it blew in through the AC vent. Hopefully that's it!

I have a friend who had a pipe burst in her apartment, and it got completely flooded. That was insane to see. Many people have tile floors at least, so the water can be pushed to a drain in the bathroom or kitchen. My first apartment had really nice wood floors, and they would have been destroyed!

For basic local news it's fine, but the editorial section is complete garbage

It's not free anymore anyway, so I use HKFP (https://hongkongfp.com/)

[bcrdukes]

I think SCMP was paywalled for a while now. I used to read it quite regularly but like you said, the editorial section is garbage, and there are a lot of articles that have a strong pro-CCP/China slant to it.

[Traum]

SCMP has become a very pro-China publication for some time now. Even before its ownership under the Alibaba Group, it had a chief editor that came from a CCP advisory body (政協), and that was sort of when the pro CCP slant became much stronger.

Has anyone organized a big group trip with a big charter bus before?
Our group is considering doing a family golf trip to Predator Ridge in Vernon next year.
The idea would be eight families (two four-somes) about 30 total people, including wives and kids.

Just wondering if we should just rent a charter bus or everyone drive up themselves.

[whitev70r]

I'm going to bet that no one here has ever chartered a bus for a huge ass trip like what you are describing.

[bcrdukes]

I did not, but a friend of mine who got married a number of years ago at Predator Ridge did charter a bus or two to shuttle their families from Vancouver. The thought process was to save everyone the fatigue of driving and just focus on enjoying the wedding.

I can’t speak to whether there was any economic value in taking this approach, but it saved everyone from a long drive.

[Gumby]

Chartering a bus also allows everybody to drink freely…

[sonick]

I've chartered (or managed somebody who arranged it) a tour bus to take my company to various company retreats.

Oh perfect, do you have a recommendation regarding companies. I am mainly concerned with safety regarding their driver and the bus itself.

I just talked to one company, Fargo Coach lines, but I didn't get the best first impression from them.

I had some logistics questions, but I guess I can ask the company itself once I find a reputable one.

The recommendation is probably the best thing I can ask for.

It seems like for long hauls to Vernon we will need one of those big 50 seater coach busses.

[Jason00S2000]

It seems like for long hauls to Vernon we will need one of those big 50 seater coach busses.

Honestly as someone who has helped plan this type of stuff before, it will be cheaper for you to rent a Ford Expedition and a driver and have him(or two people) shuttle the most difficult family members for you and have everyone else drive themselves. Generally, people want to go off on their own at some point and not be stuck with only 1 vehicle and a huge group. It's a logistical nightmare to have 50 grumpy family members have to take the same fucking bus.

[PeanutButter]

^Yeah, you're right. Just thinking about it seems pretty crazy. I'm concerned about moving around with that many people. It sounds pretty annoying. Even the whole food situation seems like a lot of work.

[bcrdukes]

Spoke to my friend who did the charter.
She says she would never do it again and would never recommend it to anyone. Not because of the bus, but everyone was just a pain in the ass. Some of her friends ended up unfriending her (online and in real life.)

Is is better if you get a limo party bus? You can bust out some Far East Movement and Nelly and drink from champagne on the way to Predator Ridge - get all slizzar'd. This one even has a pole in the middle if it happens to get hot in here.

Yeah I'd definitely put it up to the group before renting a whole freakin' bus. I mean there's bound to be some people that are going to say, I'm just gonna drive, we're going to duck out early or we're going to some wineries afterwards, etc.

Honestly to me personally, this kind of trip on a bus stuck with 30 relatives/family friends sounds like the 9th circle of hell. Maybe if everyone was 60+ and incontinent...then maybe do it.

[Hondaracer]

Get up there THEN rent a bus for the day, go golfing have it pick people up then go to wineries or just do wineries and restaurants for a single day

It’s too much as CB mentioned all the way from the lower mainland to get up there, it’s not gonna be as fun as it seems lol

We use International Stage Lines, and yes it was one of those Greyhound style busses.

We rented one for Kamloops in 2019, 2 nights, and it was about $4200. I'm not sure exactly how they charge, i.e. if the driver stays overnight or something. And also no idea about pricing post covid.

That trip actually got snowed in and we had to divert to Harrison instead for the 2 nights. They seemed accommodating and flexible.

Since Keg is somewhat ruled out, Badhobz has a suggestion. :troll:

The keg is the best for value. Nothing can beat a huge 18 ounce prime rib with sides for 48 bucks. You buy a prime rib steak from Costco, a 3 pack will cost you almost 100 dollars. And you gotta cook it yourself and make all the sides

Whatever you do, don’t go to burdock and co. That place is overrated as hell. I don’t know how it got its Michelin star. It’s terrible. Published on main or Anna Leah is much better.

Spent 500 bucks there for two people eating absolute trash.

I always recommend Boulevard (in the Sutton Hotel) for anyone looking for a nice dinner. They've introduced a dry-age steak program on top of their other steak offerings (hanger, ribeye, striploin, wagyu) and while I can't say it's the very best in town (I hear Elisa is king) it's all very good plus they happen to have perhaps the best seafood menu in town and I'd argue that their dessert is the absolute best in town (the awards are numerous).

Great service that's friendly and relaxed (not stuffy at all - Jameson has a sharp wit), lovely oak wood heavy room, not overly loud (especially if you're in the back).

I also like the demographic there - you get families, you get older rich folks, young tourists being spendy, hotties, etc - it's a nice atmosphere with good energy inside and outside. I've taken my in-laws (with my 6y.o), buddies from out of town, been on a double date etc - it plays well with all sorts of audiences being a hotel restaurant.

good point, there will be kids. i gotta make sure its kid friendly.

[supafamous]

good point, there will be kids. i gotta make sure its kid friendly.

Boulevard has what I consider a hilarious kids menu. It's a 3 course meal for $48 (!!!) and you can get a prawn cocktail as part of the first course. Like can I just get a bowl of Mac and cheese with a glass of milk for $12? I don't think they have high chairs but they handle kids pretty well due to being a hotel restaurant (I imagine all hotel restaurants handle kids well - much better than the non-hotel fancy places).

Depending on your party size there's a backroom area that has a few booths and which can fit a table for 8-12 which is quieter and pretty spacious that kids can somewhat run around in if needed. It's sometimes used for private parties as well - it just gets real pricey if you go private.

https://boulevardvancouver.ca/menus/#KIDS’-MENU

[roastpuff]

Elisa for steak for sure. Great steak. If you don't go later at night I feel like it is quite kid friendly - saw a few families with young kids when I was there last.

For Chinese food... are they more into traditional Chinese/Cantonese food, or the new style luxury Chinese food? Mott/QJD falls into the latter camp.

For the first style, traditional Cantonese fine dining, I'd suggest Neptune Palace on Marine and Cambie, or Dynasty on Broadway.

I like Mott 32 ambiance over QJD's, and being in downtown means opens up walkable after-dinner activities versus being at the corner of Cambie / 12th. Either option will impress so both are safe options.

Personally I prefer the traditional Cantonese Seafood restaurants like roastpuff suggested, so something like Dynasty or SeaHarbour in Richmond is more up my alley.

I've never looked at Mott32's menu till today and holy shit that's expensive stuff. It does look like top shelf product though but I got a bit of sticker shock - it's seems like some stuff is as much as double what a place like Neptune would charge.

Has anyone ordered anything from RockAuto recently and shipping it directly to Vancouver?

Are parts being tarriffed?
I bought some brake rotors back in June, and there wasn't any extra charges beyond what the RA invoice showed. And RA only charged for parts, shipping, and taxes.

Not sure if June is recent enough for you though, considering the 30% tariffs just kicked in on Aug 1.

Quanjude weekday lunch special is great value - cheaper than the keg

I just got a bunch of oil filters from RockAuto last week. No additional charges, duties, or tarrifs.

I've got 3 trees in my backyard that need pruning as they have grown up and out and are now touching my house. Any recommendations re a company to do tree trimming?

I needed to remove a diseased tree back in May/June, and Sonick recommended DC Tree Services:

Their crew was good and prices were reasonable. I'd be inclined to hire them again if I need any major pruning done.

[nismodrifter]

Thanks guys I appreciate the recommendations

Doesn’t the checkout at RockAuto straight up say it’s the all included price, no further fees?

[red kryptonite]

Elisa for steak for sure. Great steak. If you don't go later at night I feel like it is quite kid friendly - saw a few families with young kids when I was there last.

For Chinese food... are they more into traditional Chinese/Cantonese food, or the new style luxury Chinese food? Mott/QJD falls into the latter camp.

For the first style, traditional Cantonese fine dining, I'd suggest Neptune Palace on Marine and Cambie, or Dynasty on Broadway.

I think for Chinese food I’ve narrowed it down to mott and QJ. Mott (to me) has a more appetizing menu where as QJ has the Michelin star factor. I don’t care about the stars and awards but they might.

I’m steering away from traditional Chinese food because the majority of them, including my parents ate traditional Chinese their whole lives. It would be nice introduce them to modern twist on Chinese fine dinning. I don’t think they’ll ever go seek out it out themselves.

At the risk of sounding like I have my head stuck in the sand...
Did the percentage just go up or did it include new things like car parts?

I don't know how reliable that is. I've bought things online from the US and have been surprised before.

[Hondaracer]

How is rock auto ever worth it? If you’re not ordering weight?

When I was looking for pads and rotors it ended up being like 150% of lordco prices? Presumably due to the weight of the rotors?

[roastpuff]

Rockauto is worth it if you're not ordering heavy stuff to Canada. Filters, hard to source parts, etc are cheaper than Lordco/NAPA by at least 30-50%

Brakes and rotors are also a lot cheaper than locally for certain cars, and if you ship to Bellingham/Pt Roberts, it's not that expensive.

For the same brand/model of parts? Even with shipping for heavy parts I can get better brand names for cheaper from RockAuto than I can at the local stores. The only time they're cheaper is if it's some shit brand I've never heard of.

[red kryptonite]

thanks guys!
decided on day 1: QJ for lunch then boulevard for dinner. day 2: not sure where for lunch then mott for dinner.

I’ve never paid probably half of what lordco is asking from rockauto. That said I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything heavy from them. But for everything I have gotten, literally half price of lordco, and often for a better brand choice.

For rotors and heavier items, probably best to get them from Canadian suppliers, like Autopartsway, that offer free shipping over a certain amount.

Rockauto for virtually anything else if you're trying to stick within a budget. Just watch the shipping costs and try to select parts that ship from one warehouse.

[Hondaracer]

Yea never really looked at them before outside of brakes, and the costs didn’t make sense even for the cheapo rotors etc.

My one experience at Mott32 was decent. Everything was good. Not amazing, but good. The peking duck (order it 24 hrs in advance) was carved tableside, so a bit of a show.

It was just expensive. Very expensive.

I dont know if Chinese are like Indian parents, but if I took my parents there, no matter how good it is, they'd focus entirely on how much it cost relative to the value received, thus would judge it accordingly, haha.

[mikemhg]

so guys.... im going to be hosting 2 dinners at the end of the month and the goal is to impress.

dinner 2: steakhouse! i like the keg but dont think that'll do. ive tried kobe, gotham and GR steak, it was good but is there anything better?

Don't listen to any other recommendations, Elisa all day.

They are by far the best steakhouse in the city.

[whitev70r]

And think that they can make that Peking duck for like $30 vs. $250 at Mott32, wraps from scratch, cucumber and onions from their garden.

Lordco wanted $180 for brake pads for my 1993 Plymouth Voyager 5 speed...

RockAuto?

$10 + $17 shipping.

Maybe I’m uncultured but I thought Elisa was the same quality as boulevard? I did like their sides though. I only get ribeye though not any of the specialized waygu whatever.

[supafamous]

Same approximate class of restaurant but Boulevard's calling card is seafood (and dessert) - they tend to get compared to Blue Water Cafe instead as Blue Water also is amazing at seafood. Elisa has a butcher shop next door that they own I think so they can claim a higher bar on their beef than Boulevard can. IMO, Boulevard's steaks are excellent though - I've had the hanger, the tomahawk, a dry aged t-bone, and a striploin and all were excellent and the sides were equally good.

[mikemhg]

I'm probably biased, but I love Elisa's service, and their attention to detail.

Every year they remember our anniversary and seat us a the EXACT same spot in the restaurant each year.

I'm always impressed by that.

The food is amazing as well.

Anyone need Sonos accessories?

Recently bought few components from Costco and they both come with 30% off codes.

It’s just stands, cords, covers etc. but if anyone needs one DM me

[westopher]

Kind of related to Sonos. Does anyone have any idea of where to get info for some home stereo stuff? I have no fucking clue, but the PO of my place was a bigwig in the music industry, and as such has the whole place wired with speakers for his huge vinyl collection.
Me being a vinyl connoisseur with about 14 records and climbing, need to wire my record player to take advantage of this. All the wiring is there, so I’m assuming I just need a receiver? Any suggestions?

[bcrdukes]

If you choose to use the Sonos system, the benefit is that the speakers are wireless. If you decide that Sonos is the right solution for you, you can buy their amp and speakers for seamless integration. [Edit] Additionally, you can also buy their turntable packages to get started.

If you decide you want to build your own HiFi home system, since it's pre-wired by this guy, you can take advantage of his wiring and buy your own set of speakers and an amplifier for your record player and speakers.

What is your current setup? This will help folks provide more guidance. Also, welcome to a possible money pit. :D

[westopher]

The speakers are already wired into the ceiling in every room. There’s about 6 sets of wires for them but I don’t know what kind they are. Most are 10”
I have a pro-ject turntable. Currently I have it just running through a single Marshall speaker with a little mini amp. I’d be cutting out the speaker and mini amp and wiring directly to the receiver and wiring the speakers to the receiver.
My buddy gave me a vintage technics receiver, but it doesn’t seem to be functioning. Might just be a fuse or might be something beyond that, that needs repair. I haven’t spent the time yet to get it working, but think maybe getting something newer that I can at least play digital music as well might make more sense since my collection is so small.
I should mention I have no interest in hooking it up to the TV for movies or anything, since we never really watch anything other than bluey, which for the record is actually awesome, but doesn’t require HI-FI to enjoy lol.
