Spicy food is a good thing. After moving to Canada from the land of Cajun and Mexican cooking, I have been somewhat disgruntled with the overall *blandness* of Canadian cooking.

Morel - Escape (Driving To Heaven)

Little Tokyo Sushi bar and grill has the dopest Chicken teriyaki rolls (I can't eat fish because I am allergic ...so this works for me)
The Reef on main is awesome for carribbean food , really nice especially if you have had a blah day. Go and have the jah dip and anything from the entree menu or just do the jah dip plantain chips from the appy menu and have a raspberry mojhito YUM!!!!!!!!!
Thai away from home: Still the cheapest and green curry chicken (Combo A!!!!!!!!!!) and very comforting soup (eat in only) for richer more guilt ridden, but really worth it Thai fare go to Tropika (on Cambie or Robson) and order Green curry chicken, their sambal bunchies (green beans with chili paste and prawns) and giner rice and hunan rice............ugh no need to eat for three days after but worth every morsel (that meal I described above feeds two GENEROUSLY.......girls a good place to take your man for Christmas and it is under 24.00 including a nice tip)

When I think of great restaurants here, 3 spring to my mind right quick. They are all on the more higher-class/upper-end, but damn is the food and the service and decor just sound.

Jack's Grill is hidden in a stripmall, but it is the best restaurant in the city. The food is just outstanding and not too pricey. It is really classy, but at the same time very casual and relaxed. Wikkid service too.

Another place is straight downtown here called L'Azia. This is more casual than Jack's and the food is stellar again... and they waitresses are CUTE!!! Portions are crazy big too!

Last one is Ric's Grill... I'm not sure if it's franchised out past E-town but there are a few in the city now and it is AWESOME!!! They bring you fresh bread with every meal and you can get hooked on that so easily. Portions are huge again and the alcohol is cheap with the meals hahaha.

Not the best of restaurant recommendations, but hope it'll do.

Cheers,
Terry

my personal home fav is a chives omelett

for burgers, red robin's bonzai burger is deliciously yummy

for pizza, me and ed's in burnaby has really good stuff, but its also pretty expensive

dessert wise, nothing, nothing ever beats joey tomato's apple pie. the crust....... the filling...... the ice cream


ah crap, im hungry now

elena, I worked @ Joeys for nearly 2 years, their entire menu is golden.
but the souffle is much better than the pie.(ok im a chocaholic, so im biased, but still)

Personally I find the best food I eat is the stuff I invent at home. The only thing that sucks is that you get so cought up in the inventing and playing you forget to write down how you made it all. Oh well... At least no one can ever complain that I've made the same thing two nights in a row...

Its all about the 72 ounce steak challenge. Nothing like 4 pounds of tasty cow.
