If you look around the different restaurants I have been, you will notice that I tend to visit out of the way places that most people won’t. In a way, let’s just say, I have a soft spot for such type of restaurants, not to mention that, while I could go to the most popular one, for the most part my fellow bloggers are already taken care of it plus, in the case of some large chains, they have their share of hype and blaggers. It won’t be that different for me when one day I wanted meat, as in BBQ. Now, this is the Pacific Northwest, a part that is not necessarily known for their BBQ (for BBQ in places like, say Texas, check these two posts from Mijune); however, I was hoping for BBQ nevertheless (otherwise, I might have ended up in a place like Asado). So, browsing through Urbanspoon again, I was able to locate two nearby places: B&B BBQ and Bob’s BBQ Pit. For the first one, the day I managed to get there… Let’s just say I wasn’t sure if they were in business or not, as it was “open” but nobody was there. As a result, I turned around and went for my second option. Did I mention I tend to go to out of way places and visually looks like a dive?

Southern Kitchen on Urbanspoon

In yesterday’s post, I made reference to a wish to visit a Southern restaurant. Why? Well, in Vancouver, we make a lot of emphasis in multi-culturalism but, even then, there are cuisines missing. As a result, whenever I visit to the US, I try some of those cuisines missing here. While browsing through Urbanspoon for possible good eats, one of them was Southern Kitchen. But, alas, on night #2, I was a bit too late but made note of the time they would close (8:00 p.m.). The following day I made sure I would be there in a timely manner and, fortunately, I was able to make it… And a lot of time to sit and enjoy a meal.
