Wrapzone

Wrapzone
Several locations in Vancouver
1711 Davie Street (Location visited)
Vancouver, BC

I am now sure that when Robert Frost wrote The Road Not Taken, he was not thinking about getting something to eat. In my case, at lunchtime, instead of walking through Denman, I walked through Bidwell, the street parallel to Denman. I knew there was nothing there but I chose to walk through this street instead; after all, who knows what I would find. Unfortunately, there was nothing between Robson and Davie and chose to stop at the first place I found: Wrapzone.

OK, not exactly the *first* place, in the corner of Davie and Bidwell was a small cafe but was not in mood for breakfast type meal. Anyway, I walked in and checked their menu. I must admit I am not a huge fan of wraps. Sure, I would eat them (shawarma anybody?), just that I feel it lacks something… Sorry, I can’t explain that feeling…

I ordered a wrap called “Jimmy the Greek” which, based on the list of ingredients, sounds like a village/Greek salad with rice and chicken in a plain tortilla. In principle that sounds good; in actual practice, it was bland. White rice as base with boiled chicken, well, that should have given me a hint.

I think this is the only positive point of the meal: I had the wrap with chips and a drink. Usually I don’t include these additional items but I did so because they were no generic chips. Rather it has Que Pasa, which is made locally here in Metro Vancouver. It was interesting, in its own way. Probably I should drop by their outlet store some time…

Let’s go back to Robert Frost poem…

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Sure, that sounds great; however, just don’t do it with food.
