Chilo’s 2.0

By Jason Chin
Eat Vancouver editor

Following a lead from egullet, the Fishman and I decided to try out Chilo’s new location in Yaletown. We were both a bit skeptical because Chilo seemed like an unlikely guy to expand his operation to swanky Yaletown. Part of the charm of the original Chilo’s, we thought, was that it was out of the beaten path, and a bit of a hole in the wall operation. That’s not to say that weren’t excited about idea of great tacos at a more central location.

The Oyster deal at the Bearfoot Bistro
Whistler, BC (map)
3-6pm

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before, but it should be known that everyday from 3-6, the Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler has a ridiculous oyster deal - a dozen oysters for ten bucks. That’s pretty much as cheap as you will find them anywhere around town. Shit, I can imagine quite a few scenarios in which one could by a dozen oysters from a fishmonger and end up spending more than $10. Sure, you’ll probably have to buy a couple of drinks, but seriously Scrooge, loosen up the purse strings a little bit.

Quite Fetching
a quick bite

By Jason Chin
Eat Vancouver editor

As the search for the best pho in Vancouver ends with something of a whimper, Dan and I have been pondering over what iconic dish to throw down next. It is tournament season, after all. We’ve tossed around ideas like hamburgers, dim sum, and butter chicken, but we’ve had trouble getting enthusiastic about any of them. Although it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, one idea that we’ve played with is a hotdog down. That idea ended a few days ago when I tried Fetch hotdog stand in Gastown, because I believe I’m ready to invoke the mercy rule.

Quickbite: Triggiano’s Cafe

By Jason Chin

I just thought I’d share a great little tip I’ve been sitting on for a while now. Triggiano’s Caffe in Yaletown happens to serve an excellent cup of tea. Specifically, it’s heck of a lot of quality tea steeped in a conical filter totaling up to a mere $1.54 including tax. In fact, you’ll often find your own Eat Vancouver editor sitting in front of one of these cups, laptop in the proximity, making history with another brilliant post. All joking aside, I love the deep flavor of the green tea here, especially if it has been steeping for a good while - bonus points for the huge antioxidant and caffeine boosts it provides.
