Goldfish swims Yaletown’s stylish currents
by Andrew Morrison | July 12th, 2007
Although it’s famed for attracting an upwardly mobile, trendy, shallow crowd, Yaletown’s restaurant community has stabilized into a respectable mixed bag over the last couple of years. There are cool little sandwich spots, specialty shops, charming hideaways, and fine-dining joints [...]

I’ve been watching the new season of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen on Fox (yeah, I’m a loser, I know. Lets get on with it). No surprise, the show is horrible, just like the previous two seasons.

WASHINGTON – A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an [...]
