Just made a genois with creme patisserie and fresh strawberries. Topped off with two candles.
Heading south of the border for wetback food and see if the little guy can hold his head up under a sombrero.
Games set on the vcr. Maybe I'll take second watch after Blob passes out.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Edible at the Market on Granville Island
I've been a few times (tried both dinner and brunch) and it has become my favorite restaurant in the city.
Definately worth checking out, and exactly the type of restaurant that Granville Island needed.

If you go at dinner, the mushroom crusted wild albacore tuna (starter) is amazing. Brunch - duck confit hash.donlever wrote:What are we eating there KS?
Everything else I have tried has been top notch as well.

Next time just lay off the popcorn dripping in fake butter and sour sugar things and you wont have to ask such ridiculous questions.donlever wrote:Do they have a lo-fat version?KeyserSoze wrote: Brunch - duck confit hash.

How do they do their mushroom crust on the tuna? Is it crushed/powdered dried mushrooms or are they softer sauteed mushrooms?KeyserSoze wrote:Edible at the Market on Granville Island

I would think something like dried porcini 'shrroms, crushed to a bit finer than cornmeal consistency, would make an interesting crust and give a great textural contrast to the tuna.
Looking at the menu, duck fat for their fries. I am happy! Glad to see a restaurant that while trying to have the freshest ingredients and continuously update their menu to reflect what is available, they don't get strung out on the extremes of the idea ::cough::100mile::cough::
I was talking with a friend the other day and commenting how happy I am to see terrines are back in vogue. They are a great menu item, low food cost, made ahead so plating time during service is minimal and great for the customer because they pack a ton of flavour and can look beautiful on the plate.

BTW, with those scores I'm getting 3 a side.

It's a dried mushroom crust. The tuna is seared rare, and the overall balance of the dish is spot on...one of the most memorable starters I have ever had.Topper wrote: How do they do their mushroom crust on the tuna? Is it crushed/powdered dried mushrooms or are they softer sauteed mushrooms?

The fries are very good and come with housemade ketchup and bacon aioli.
They are all about fresh seasonal ingredients, prepared fairly simply (but executed perfectly) to let them really shine...which is why I said it is exactly what Granville Island needed.
Speaking of bacon, they just launched a takeout window featuring a handful of bacon dishes which I have yet to try. BLLT (bacon, lobster, lettuce, tomato) sandwich, and Box-o-bacon (bacon strips perpared in a variety of ways with a chocolate dipping sauce on the side) grabbed my attention.

Yeah, one of the reasons I don't go to movies, although I've been twice in a month now for some reason, is I am inexplicably drawn to the horribly overpriced grotesque treat bar....Eddy Punch Clock wrote: Next time just lay off the popcorn dripping in fake butter and sour sugar things and you wont have to ask such ridiculous questions.
The rare time I actually cheat anything remotely like that (I'll have desert at a top notch restaurant most times) is at the movies for some fukin reason, memories of youth perhaps.
Thanks for the tip Keyser, don't eat it all...lol, perfect, although not likely, when I'm paying a good dollar for good eats it's all going down the hatch.
3 a side AP, .... riiiggghhtt.
I'm off to Canal and Ridge next week, Seymour and Northlands the week after that then we go on our annual boyz golf trip.
Whistler this year.
Nicklaus North, the Palmer Course, Big Sky here I come.

Re: Dining in Vancouver

Will you be wearing the Vintage #9? Home or away?

Then fire back some random rock that has somehow fallen into your bag.

BTW what kind of sticks you hitting these days donny? I'm so far out of the golfing loop it's not even funny.
