Deluxe Moderne Burger (Garber review) ****
If fifties-era diners still have a place in our world, you will likely only find them reincarnated with any degree of authenticity in very few places. One of these exceptions-to-the-rule is Deluxe Moderne Burger in Vancouver's Kitsilano. [More]

Feenie's now open ****
Yes, "Feenie-weenie" as his friends used to call him, has finally, officially opened his wonderful lo-dough, hi-retro eatery at the other end of the Lumiere flagship block, right across from the White Spot, where Chef Feenie has been known to eat a hamburger or two, himself. [More]

* Nando's Chickenland restaurants (Garber review) ****
With Nando's, we know we can always find an affordable feast, custom-spiced to the degree we like, where we can get to eat in pleasant surroundings, where we really feel that we are being served and treated to a comfortable family dining experience. Basically, first-rate family dining at fast-food prices. [More]
