Ok, so if you know me at all you probably already know this...but I love food. My whole family does. It only takes one look to understand that we have never been starving. I've always been surrounded by amazing food....so when I got to Vancouver I wanted to find the good food here too. I guess no one ever really goes to a new place looking for the bad food. Anyways...here is your complimentary food tour of Vancouver. And remember, I've been here over a month so there is some justification of ALL the different things I've tried.
The famous Canadian dish is called poutine. Unfortunately, I wasn't that impressed. It's basically fries with gravy, and while I am a fan of both, together they just didn't do it for me.
49th Parallel, however, has quickly become my favorite coffee shop. Great coffee, cool mugs, and even better donuts. These are like fancy doughnuts. Pictured is the salted caramel one...awesome. Sorry Tim...these coffee and doughnuts have you beat.
Sophie's Cosmic Cafe has the best breakfast. It's a great brunch place in town, but who wants to order lunch when you can get breakfast options like this:
Burger Heaven...the name says it. And everyone knows a place is legit when they offer a substitution of sweet potato fries. I opted out of getting my name on the wall of fame here by eating the 8 patty burger...maybe next time.
The chicken shawarma...oh how I love you. And Vancouver has some good ones. Just stop anywhere on the street...I haven't been disappointed yet.

I would not be myself if I hadn't found a cupcake place here. The name of the place...Cupcakes...I like it...no questions about what is in the store...just truth. What kind did I get...duh...red velvet...is there another kind??
Thankfully, these places are not super close to my apartment or else I might be rolling myself overseas. Yay for good times and good food. Now I'm off to find a treadmill.
