Eat | Drink | Cheap Episode 41 – What’s in The Box?

Shawn Leave a comment

If memory serves me right, Simon came up with a game for him and his co-host Shawn to play armed with nothing but some dice, a list of ingredients and a head full of dinner ideas. What insued was equal parts chaos and fun.

Eat | Drink | Cheap Episode 40 – Tomatoes

Shawn Leave a comment

Vine-ripened tomatoes are the epitome of summer and our two amatuer gardener-gourmands go hard on the explosive flavours of summer’s favourite fruit? The psychedelic colours, shapes, sizes and variations in sweetness sizzle the mind and excite the soul.

Horang Restaurant and Bar (Nanaimo, BC)

Shawn 1 Comment

Up until recently Korean restaurants on the North tip of Vancouver Island tend to land in one of two buckets: First and most plentiful are the Korean-owned Japanese-style restaurants that serve sushi, sashimi, noodles and are always identifiable by the addition of kimchi with their agadashi tofu. Second in minority are the Jjigae joints serving homestyle ramen stews that are a revelation when eaten in house and tend to suffer greatly if subjected to door dash.

Created by the same crew that ran a couple aforementioned-style restaurants in the past, Nanaimo’s Horang is proudly Korean (there are lots of double consonants on this menu) but also includes lots of nods to the Japanese-Korean fusion that made fish-pickled cabbage downright trendy when a lot of Canadians still thought tofu and seaweed was exotic. Also, they will slap cheese on anything!

Fry ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew. The apple of the earth can be cooked so many different ways! Shawn and Simon dig deep to build a menu made entirely out of spuds plus the return of food court and poetry?
