Jamba Juice Review (Kona, Hawaii)

Gary & Taya — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:31:49 +0000

We frequented Jamba Juice at the Kona Coast Shopping Center practically every day of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a quick breakfast stop and refreshing cool-down in the hot Hawaiian sun. Let’s face it, Kona isn’t really a foodie kinda place, and restaurants that were highly rated, like the disastrous [...]

Fatburger is an American chain of fast food restaurants that was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1952. Hamburger fanatics have since developed a cult-like devotion to Fatburger.

Located in the Village at Lynnwood Washington’s Alderwood Mall, Red Mango is a top frozen yogurt chain serving tart n’ tasty froyo with loads of tempting toppings.

Gary & Taya — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:31:35 +0000

In a French macaron-crazed city like Vancouver, Soirette Macarons & Tea has made a welcomed addition to the current dessert scene. The beautiful shop recently opened its doors in a prime downtown location, perfectly situated on West Pender Street in dazzling Coal Harbour. Stylish and sophisticated, the space is impeccably decorated with calming soft blue [...]

Anatoli Souvlaki North Vancouver Review

Gary & Taya — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:35:22 +0000

Anatoli Souvlaki is located in the heart of Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Thomas and Helen Makris opened the restaurant almost thirty years ago back in 1984, and as it stands, their two sons Alexi and Iani have taken over the reigns to this longstanding North Shore establishment to bring on the best in Greek [...]

Double DD Pizza Review

Gary & Taya — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:20:26 +0000

Our favourite local pizza joint, Napoletana Pizza, still hasn’t reopened since a fire ravaged the restaurant. So, we’ve been on the lookout for a comparable pizza parlour for replacement and checked out Double DD Pizza for dinner last week. Located on West 4th Avenue and Collingwood Street, Double DD Pizza has been serving its Kitsilano [...]
