Comment on Swiss Donair by Steve

All donairs are Halifax donairs. It was invented there in the 70′s as a spin on the doner kebab. Locals were scared of lamb and dill yogurt sauces, so the guy changed to beef and a sweet sauce. Donair specifically means spiced beef, and sweet sauce, anything else is a gyro or a doner kebab.

No, Anny’s is certainly not “hip”, but New West is actually a neat place and lots of young and older people live there! It is actually a great place for young couples!! Plus, there are wonderful plates and glasses to discover there.

Comment on State of Vancouver Food Blogs 2011 – The actual post… by Kristi

I would agree blogs have deteriorated the English language. I was recently at a seminar for small business people and the speaker, a self-proclaimed expert blogger and SEO specialist, said “Just write, it doesn’t have to be quality, just do it.” Unfortunately, blogging takes on many purposes, however, good information always gets the most followers.

Comment on Gratuity Charges by Charlotte

Jason? If you arent making any money- then why are you there? I dont agree with mandatory tipping; especially right now when i’m on disability. When I can afford it, I tip- when i cant, i dont. My mom and aunt left a big tip at a restaurant in Vancouver- because the waitress spoke english .
I’m going to a xmas party tonight for my roller derby league- its been planned for months. Yes, it’s a big group- but the restaurant is getting $29 per person. Our derby rep was just told by the contact at the restaurant 2 days ago that there is a mandatory 20% gratuity. Ok- its a friggin buffet!! Why should we pay for this- why didnt they mention it when we booked the place? maybe because its too late to cancel???? BTW its the Tudor Ale House in Surrey.

I love Saffron – started going with co-workers from GVRD for the buffet but now my famiy and I drive Surrey from South Surrey to go to Saffron. One of the best Indian places I’ve been to other than the ones from my Native home in the UK. Next time get the samosa’s, order lamb vindloo and get the kheer.

I live right by this restaurant, and I order from them a lot… I’m vegetarian, and they’re always really friendly and happy to accommodate me! They make me vegetarian congee when I’m feeling a bit under the weather Decent prices, and food similar to what my mom makes back home!

The bifana or the prego is good for sure, but it’s not the best thing you could have ordered…next time i HIGHLY recomment the Pork&Clams Of the chicken madeira/ beef madallions….CANNOT go wrong with those.
