As a few of you may know Meg and I are in the process of renovating the adjacent restaurant to our beloved Sushiro. This time we are attempting to offer a rustic tapas bar with a menu inspired by Spain, France and beyond. If you wish to follow us on our mission check in at http://tapasbar.tumblr.com/ or sushiro.com to see what we’ve been up to for the past ten plus years.
SPICY MAYO
Stuff about food and food-related stuff
More on VancouerSlop.com
Apparently I haven’t been checking that blog in a while. I think Scoutmagazine.ca has become my go to Vancouver food blog. Vancouverslop is more for diners and food lovers while scout is more about the professionals. Another thing about slop I like is the 90 hiphop puns. Like this great apron. I guess you can buy them from their site.

Subject: What would you say?
I must profess that at times life in Vancouver isn’t as swank as most would think it would seem. It’s rains a lot, everything’s expensive and dirty condoms are littered everywhere. Okay well that last one might just be my bedroom but you get my point.
Okay so how does that first paragraph relate to food in anyway? It doesn’t but I’m getting there.
saskatoonslop.com
Here’s a hilarious blog about eating in Saskatoon, although I’m not sure they are aware of it. The experts at saskatoonslop.com brag about “eating at Boston Pizza over 50 times” I’d imagine it’s a rip off of the successful and interesting blog Vancouverslop.com and NewYorkslop.com which created this awesome t-shirt.
Jamie’s Beef Cocktail
My level of anger right now is quite high as two people I know have called me out on a drink I posted today and boy do I deserve the criticism and man am I mad about it.
Awhile back I’m working the bar here in Vancouver when another bartender friend of mine named Dave sits down and chats with me. We hadn’t seen on another in a long time so we got to talking and such which naturally led us to talking about new cocktail ideas. I’ll be the first to say that I’m no mixologist, I’m new at this stuff and well coming up with great drinks like the champagne cocktail or twentieth century are somewhat out of my league. But it’s fun to play around with things.

The Cocktail Chronicles: What is Scotch
The Cocktail Chronicles: What is Scotch
Hello again and welcome to the 2nd instalment of the Cocktail Chronicles.
Today I’m going to talk about a new spirit passion of mine and that is Scotch Whiskey. It’s taken me awhile to jump on the Scotch Whiskey bandwagon but hey better late than never. There’s a reason it’s so popular and today I hope to educate you all as to why that is.
Saskatoon, meet Collective Coffee
