Hi MM

We’re here in Vancouver, BC. We went to Meat and Bread earlier and I ordered their Lamb neck , my husband had Meatballs. Unfortunately, they ran out of Porchetta. :(
They closed early bec. of a wedding reception. ;-)

I love the Lamb sandwich! and the Meatballs? – Huge in size and taste! Very good!
People working at Meat and Bread are very nice too – a big plus.

We’ll go to Granville Island Market tomorrow ( Oyama’s) Japadog? we’ll try it too. I bought a
cross-body leather bag and a male Roots jacket for my husband from Roots Canada store.

Btw, we’re from CA.; took the plane from SJC to Seattle WA. and Amtrak Cascades to
Vancouver BC. Next up, we’ll be in Seattle after a couple of days here. I have all your readers suggestions ( I didnt see yours ) to have and try while in Seattle.

Thanks for sharing all your travels with us. Take care!

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD! REGULAR SANDWICH OR OPEN-FACED. THOSE ARE A LOT OF KNIVES …

We checked out Gastown too when we were in Vancouver. We ate a late lunch at Water St. Cafe which was just across the touristy steam clock. So many restaurants to try (I bet most of them are good) not enough time. Our meal at Water St. Cafe was very good. We were looking for the Salt Tasting Room where they serve artisanal cheeses but it was located in an alley that we didn’t feel safe (just from the looks of it). I was also looking for the Terra Cotta modern Chinese restaurant & the Brioche Urban Baking. Both sounded interesting…oh well maybe next time :-)

La Emp, like yours, BettyQ’s offer is hard to resist :). I’ll try to make myself available to both events.

La Emperor….how about the lurkers of this blog stretch our legs all the way to where you are one of these days and bring different sandwich fillings …like instead of lamb neck, beef neck cooked like mechado, ADOBO, or anything barbecued…..thinly sliced boneless short rib like Korean ribs, slow roasted pork, chicken,…NO CHICKEN SALAD, EGG SALAD OR BLT, etc. I know where to get the ciabatta…bring enough also to make baon for everyone the next day!

This I got to try one of these days. hmm…. perhaps, the lurkers of this blog who are working in downtown Vancouver will join me this Friday after work. With the weather forecast being reasonable, this is good reason for us to stretch our legs.
