Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.

A few nights back, I had the pleasure of being treated to dinner at a new place called “Posh.” I’ll admit, I had no idea what to expect, Steph walked me through glass doors in what is simply explained as a strip…

My brother Keith told us about this cool restaurant in Chicago, so when we planned a trip to the windy city, I was excited to make a reservation at Moto. Keith had a great experience here and said that the chef “had…

Yet another stop on the continuing taco quest. El Taco (738 Davie St., Vancouver) opened its doors a few months back, as an off-shoot of a successful restaurant of the same name in Nelson, B.C. While the menu claims…

I don’t know why it’s taken so much time for me to discover The Flying Tiger, but last night was a great chance to take advice offered where else, but here by Mark and Andrea. As the end of Dine Out Vancouver…

It’s that time of the year, again. The time of year when I forget to make reservations for Dine Out Vancouver, and then spend two weeks grumbling about it under my breath. I checked out the site this morning, and…

Forget calzones. Put your pepperoncini aside. Da Flora, a small venetian-style ostaria in San Francisco, does Italian food with such freshness and imagination that you’ll never look at a plate of fettucini the same way again.

I’m a bit of a science nerd. So, when a friend invited me to dinner at a new restaurant called Gastropod, I was somewhat taken aback. The word gastropod translates literally as ‘stomach foot’, which,…

A few weeks ago, I caught the tailend of the Taste of Yaletown, where a variety of Yaletown restaurants offer prix fixe menus at $25, $35 and $45. Brix had a $35 menu that sounded delicious, and I’d never been there…

The weather hasn’t been great here for over a week. With June around the corner it’s a bit of a bummer and then today we get a taste of summer, quite literally. A vendor asked us to lunch so we suggested Gord…
