Random thoughts of restaurants and food in Vancouver, BC!

And here I go again, hitting the road (or a plane, in this case). Where? St. Louis, Missouri! And, as usual, my post of the meals I had while leaving Vancouver to my destination city and back.
I had to connect in Denver, so this picture is somewhere in-between…
Denny’s
Several locations
Vancouver, BC
OK, I jumped the shark… Yes, in my desperation to find a place to blog about, I went to Denny’s! Nah, just kidding. Actually, I was looking for something to eat late night and the first place open I found was a Denny’s. Before I continue, I must say I have been to Denny’s before, just that I did not care too much about it.
During the holidays, and thanks to the crazy weather, there were mornings where I woke up to the falling snow and, as a result, almost imprisioned in my apartment. As mentioned previously, whenever I have a bit too much time… Anyway, on one of the nights, after listening to the weather forecast, which called for snow next morning, I started planning next day’s breakfast. For the record, for this meal, I usually have cereal, fruit and (soy) milk. But, for a change, I wanted something special. That’s how I came up with the idea of making crêpes.
Before I continue, there is this “background” question, why crêpes and not pancakes? The answer is… I don’t know! Well, actually I do. I find pancakes a bit generic; in fact, if I *really* wanted pancake, I would just go to MickeyD’s and get it from their breakfast menu. However, this argument has a flaw (or at least here in Vancouver): If I wanted crêpes, I could as well go to one of the many Cafe Crepe here. In the end, I guess crêpes have a certain je ne sais quoi…
Top’s Restaurant (24 hours)
2790 Kingsway
Vancouver, BC
After the late night meal referenced in yesterday’s post, I have been searching for decent places for such meals. One of the places near where I live is Top’s Restaurant.
OK, I went there for lunch rather than late night but, hey, I wanted to make sure it was a viable option before I actually needed to go there!
A couple of months ago, I was in Baltimore due to work reasons… And, yes, as you can guess, I was there once again! Unlike my last visit, this time, I had a better idea of my surroundings and what would be my “walking distance” limit; so, that gave me a better opportunity to plan my meals. Just like last time, I will start with my breakfasts…
M. Henry
5707 N Clark St
Chicago, IL 60660
In addition to my dinner with FYZ and WS, we also had breakfast on my last day in Chicago. Again, I asked for a place they would suggest, rather than asking for a particular cuisine. After all, I was still dazzled by the options! Anyway, here is where we ended up going.
Oh, well, here I go again… For work reasons, I went to Merrillville, Indiana. (Of course, I can’t disclose who/what). Just as with my last trip to Baltimore, here are my breakfasts…
Since the departure time of my flight was around 10:50 a.m., I arrived at the airport just before 9:00 a.m., just in time to grab something from Tim Horton’s, their Breakfast Sandwich with Sausage (Egg, cheese, sausage in a “homestly biscuit”).
I must say I am a fan of this sandwich. Sure, it might not be the best/healthiest option available but, hey, it tastes good!
