North Vancouver, BC
While most of the most populated areas of Metro Vancouver, namely Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and part of Surrey, has a fast transit system – and soon, Richmond will have one as well with the Canada Line, for North Vancouver and West Vancouver, well, there is not much for them. Sure, there are buses going there but the most popular way to cross the Burrard Inlet is not taking a bus. Rather, taking the Seabus. And what is at the other end? Lonsdale Quay.

Ah, gathering with former colleagues… That is always an interesting process. Everybody working in different places, different schedules, different likes/dislikes, etc. And, in a process similar to that of how we ended up in Posh a couple of months ago, I “chose” another restaurant not far from there, and considered to be among the best, if not the best, Korean restaurant in town: Hanwoori.

Despite it was a short trip, after I came back from Richmond, VA, I still suffered the effects of jet lag. That meant waking up early and be hungry by 10:30 a.m. Fortunately, aside from meetings, my work does not force me to have lunch at a specific time of the day so I chose to have a really early “lunch”. The problem? Most places do not open before 11:00 a.m… But, I had a backup plan: A place that is open “20 hours a day”. That place is Hamburger Mary’s.

As mentioned in yesterday’s post on Richmond, VA, I visited two local restaurants. Today’s post is the second restaurant: Gibson’s Grill. The reason I ended up here was that it was the only other restaurant that enticed me in the nearby area (there was one other but I did not find it until the morning of my departure). I was hoping I was not going to mess up the same way as Capital Ale House… (Please keep in mind that, being a short trip, I was not even trying to adjust time zones).
Heck, not even a real sign!

In my post last week on Long’s Noodle House, I mentioned my trip to Richmond… Virginia… ^_^;;; Unlike my previous business trips, where I would be for almost the whole week, this was a short one and, since the customer wanted me to be on a Monday, I chose to fly during the weekend. When I arrived, I found out something disappointing of Richmond, VA: If it wasn’t because of offices, library or some US government buildings, it was pretty much a dead area. Of course, it was possible I was, again, in a “dead” part of the city… Anyway, I shouldn’t be complaining about things like this but, rather, just focus on the food. So, for today’s post, one of the two restaurants I visited during this trip (the other place I had my meals was the hotel restaurant, something I would rather not blog…). So, what was particular about this restaurant? It just happened it was suggested by a colleague who was there just before me…

If you live in BC, you might have seen ads about this event running in local TV, radio and newspapers. To those not in BC, it is a once-a-year event where, to quote from Eat! Vancouver’s site, “celebrity chefs, popular local restaurants, wineries, food and beverage manufacturers, cookbook authors, retailers, artisans, and many others from the culinary world will come together for a three day public extravaganza at BC Place Stadium”. I have been there in the previous couple of years and was hesitant on going this year (on the same lines of “I have a bad feeling about this…“). But, in the end, I chose to go and here is my report.
Location: BC Place Stadium. Did somebody say there were a LOT of people?
