    Jul 17 2024

    It's a first-round match of burger heavyweights: DownLow Burgers vs. Between 2 Buns! We kick off the tournament to crown Vancouver's best burger with a matchup between two of our favourites and the results are fun (for you) and agony (for us). Listen to hear us give two Burger luminaries their flowers AND emotionally crumble. Next match: Street Hawker vs KAPOW! Burger.

    Disagree with our choice? Have strong feelings? Slide into the DMs and let us know your Vancouver burger thoughts, bestie.

  • Red Wagon (Dinner Menu)
    May 30 2024

    RED WAGON is a Vancouver brunch institution, and a Red Wagon brunch review would hit the highlights: we all know about the pulled pork pancakes, we all love the Trucker plate. But maybe you'd be surprised to hear that Red Wagon has an excellent dinner menu.

    In an episode we're calling Red Wagon: Nights (said in a sultry voice), we talk the VanMag Restaurant Awards and Georgia Straight Golden Plates and explore the meatloaf, chicken and housemade potato chips of our dreams. And don't worry: we still give plenty of flowers (and basically write an oral love letter) to our sweet memories of Red Wagon's best in Vancouver breakfast.

  • The Pie Shoppe and Resurrection Spirits
    Apr 10 2024

    We're pro-pineapple and pro-not apologizing for it! In this episode Jill and Brian review The Pie Shoppe, a neighbourhood pie counter that's become an amazing spot for pizza and natural wines on top of their already great desserts. We also keep it in the East Vancouver family with a quick trip to Resurrection Spirits, a vibey new cocktail bar right around the corner from Pie Shoppe that deserves your love and attention.

  • Monarch Burger, Monzo Burger, Chickpea
    Mar 6 2024

    We're so back. We're at unbelievable levels of backness. Jill and Brian return to the Vancouver restaurant review scene by treating you to a three course feast. First, we celebrate the return of MONARCH BURGER (the only known 10/10 burger?)! Next, Jill talks about her first experience with new burger hotness, MONZO BURGER! And finally, we review Chickpea, the reliably great Middle Eastern / Mediterranean vegetarian spot that will give you a whole head of cauliflower, and you've got to deal with that.

  • Hy's Steakhouse
    Jan 16 2024

    Timeless or time... stuck? That's the question at the heart of HY'S STEAKHOUSE, a venerable, 65+ year old, white table cloth and tableside ceasar salad steak joint. Jill and Brian kick off apostrophe two-four old school, trading their usual excitement for new and interesting restaurants for the most classic dining experience imaginable. Hear us talk about the strange childhood nostalgia of the cheese toast! Laugh along about a ceasar salad that was more table-adjacent than tableside! Enjoy Brian's new "Big Steak Guy" persona!

  • Grab Bag 2: Ascension (Electric Boogaloo)
    Nov 2 2023

    We promise the title will make sense.

    Your hosts take a dip into the ol' GRAB BAG to review a plethora of Vancouver restaurants we've enjoyed over the last month. In this hot episode, we talk some return visits to old favourites (SUPERFLUX F*CKING AWESOME FEST, PARTY PIZZA WORLDWIDE, ELEPHANT, SONG) and shout out some travel adventures (JILL went to VEGAS, Brian went to RED DEER).

    Need more? Well Brian also tried the $35 dollar burger at PER SE SOCIAL CORNER, and Jill shared her first experiences with MAH MILKBAR and the bittersweet but still incredible MAGARI BY OCA. Happy Halloween, freaks!
