Street Meat: Pulled Pork on the Go – Re-up

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics, Lunch Reviews

Tweet

Re-up is one of Vancouver’s new food carts. For those of you who may not be in the street meat scene, up until this summer our street food options were limited to hotdogs, nuts, and some other item I had never tired. That all changed when Vancouver decided to try to make up for the culture [...]

Marc’s pick and chews -
Post Pick and Chews
I typically feel pretty happy about my choice. Today I am feeling something a bit different. I found the beef to be a bit tough (should have known better when it was not front and center, but brought out from the back when I asked “where is the beef”).
I [...]

Classic: Good enough to write home about! We are back!

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics, Lunch Reviews

Tweet

It has been a while since our last post. Half of the team was away doing some food reviews in Denver, and left the other half here to attend the site. It seems that we forgot to provide them with the required access to submit their reviews. Not wanting to provide them with this information [...]

Classic: An A&W Review? What the Hell! 7.6/10

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics, Lunch Reviews

Tweet

Last week Benjie was looking for something different, and fast. Well did he find it! The A&W Sirloin Burger. This is a limited edition burger that is made for the true burger lover! The only negative here was that there was a complete lack of anything even close to happy working at this location. I [...]

Pho-nominal lunch. Vanvouver’s best pho?

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics, Lunch Reviews

Tweet

We were searching for some Pho today, and were on our way to a location and came across this little joint. As it was closer to the office, and due to the fact that we are lazy, we decided to give it a go.
The reason for the above photo being of a just about done [...]

Classic: Even more pho-tastic?

Saigon (google review)
Marc’s review: 7.2/10
Overall I was pretty impressed. My typical fare at pho is kitchen items, such as pork sticks on rice. This was my first time going with the rare beef soup. I have to say that I have been missing out – this is the ticket. Fair amount of beef, nice and hot, [...]

Classic: Our team review of Earls (or Hurls as some have called it)

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics

Tweet

Well this was what is now on record as the second consecutive negative trip to Earls. At one point I was a fan or the place, not just for the food but for the servers and the drink. I am now all but sure that the new “direction” for Earls seems to be more of [...]

Next Noodle Bar – 560 Robson Street
This was the teams second trip to Next, and we were really looking for a different experience, and they delivered.
This concern was built up due to their staff’s inability to keep their shit together with a full house. So today we hit them up early. So early in [...]

Are we back? You bet, and better than ever!

Published by Marc Sherwood under Classics

Tweet

You bet we are, well sort of. There have been some changes to the team dynamics here at Strangelunch.com as of late. We have decided that in place of having all of our editorial, and review staff, based in one location we are better served (pun intended) if we were to disperse ourselves geographically.
We are committed to [...]
