Testing…Testing…

October 28, 2009

There’s a new deli/butcher up the street in Kitsilano and so far it’s passing all my tests with flying colors! I love it.

Test 1: An easy and obvious test for any deli…Roast Beef. It’s made in-house and it’s cooked perfectly medium rare. I have a photo of the dark pink slices but the photo looks a little too carnivorous to post, even to me. “A”

Ingredients: Roast Beef, Mozzerella, Hot Mustard and Horseradish, grilled on multigrain bread.

Test 2: Free range, no hormone chicken breast at an affordable price. Check, check and check! “A+”

I keep driving by the new Big Mac Monopoly billboards around town and they finally got to me! I was totally craving a Big Mac the other night…and that’s not even my McD of choice! EVER!

I pretty much never eat McDonald’s any more, for multiple and obvious reasons…unless it’s like a code red hangover. Anyway, in lieu of an unhealthy Big Mac, I re-created a ghetto veggie version. It wasn’t really that great but I got a similar taste. Would probably be better with some kind of meat, like turkey or ham even. And maybe in a bun, with multiple layers. And two all beef patties…ok just kidding, but def add turkey or ham.

Ingredients: (Melted) Mozzerella, Pickles, Red Onion, Thousand Island Dressing on toasted multigrain.

HANGOVER CURE

October 16, 2009

When you’re already 45 minutes late for work because you had to go back to bed twice in one morning, drive directly to 1555 Yew Street in Kitsilano and order a grilled ham&cheese croissant. SO FRICKEN GOOD. The perfect combo of mild yet delicious flavors for your hangover palette, as well as unhealthy oily, salty goodness to tame your angry belly. This does it for me, good to go!

Ingredients: Ham, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo on a croissant.
