Or better said, thinking with my stomach. Since it seems to be politically correct to do so, here are two of my recent crushes. First, there’s the mighty So.Cial sandwich, 2 minutes from work. You pick: a quarter of a sandwich for $6 or a full one for $12. You get a bag of free homemade chips to help you wait for your turn to call out your choice of ingredients. « For here or to go? », you will be asked. If it’s to go, be ready drag it back out. Theirs are the biggest sandwiches I have ever seen.

Then there’s the ever-famous coconut bun from Victoria’s Frank’s Honeybun Cafe.

To get these buns, one has to leave Vancouver behind, ride a bus for hours, then a ferry for more hours and another bus, still. And there they are, on a small downtown street - often sold out, the word has gone around. But they are unmatched in the Lower Mainland. Unmatched. And I mean it!
