Burgoo

I used to think of Burgoo as a place to head to in the winter for stews and heavier dishes. They even bill themselves as a soup and stewhouse, but they are in fact much more than just that.  On Fourth Avenue in Kitsilano, they have a lovely patio and there’s a new seasonal menu…

Blackberry Hill Bakery

At farmers markets around Vancouver Christine Hoekstra can be found with her delightful baked goods under the Blackberry Hill sign.  Her pies are what she is known for, but I’m always tempted be the date squares, eccles cakes and deliciously moist carrot cake.  Hoekstra also makes jams and jellies and supplies her pies to a few…

Chili Tank Food Truck

The meaty aromas coming from a strange looking tank-like fixture at the Winter Farmers Market is what first attracted me to the Chili Tank, but vegetarians fear not, there’s a veggie version too.   The tank is an actual military soup kitchen that was found in Germany and shipped to  Canada and can be heated…

Today’s visit to the freshly opened Tractor at 1903 West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano provided a much needed break from the meat-centric day I had yesterday at Brewery and the Beast, a massive beer and meatfest.  Not that Tractor doesn’t serve meat, as in fact it does have  both a wicked beef stew and beef short rib…
