TASTE: 4/5 SERVICE: 3/5 PRICE: $$ I swear, I'm not a greedy pig. But The Greedy Pig, a cozy little nook in Gastown, serves up all things pork and it's amazing. Perfect on a chilly night, their sandwiches filled with hearty helpings of meat is every meat lover's dream. So vegetarians, beware. Unfortunately I was feeling under the weather the entire week and the days that followed, but I do not regret my decision to go and have their pulled pork sandwich. The tangy sauce that slathered the braised pork totally livened up my senses - way better than eating plain bread. Because of my sickness (boo) I couldn't join my friend Mateo in a drink either. They have a selection of $8 creative cocktails and some red and white wines to choose from. It's a really cozy ambiance as well, with vintage booths, wooden high tables and very dim, with the only lights coming from the tiny candles sitting on all the tables. So if you're in the mood for meat, go check out The Greedy pig. Or, if meat is your thing but you're not really feeling it that day, check out their other options like their Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, or Root Vegetable Pot Pie.

This place is awesome. Bao Down in Gastown is described on Yelp as "Asian Fusion" known for it's "twist on traditional Asian Bao". In case you aren't familiar with bao, it is a type of steamed bun that Chinese have for tea or breakfast. They usually have various fillings in them such as custard, red bean or meat (but not together, because that would be weird). With attention grabbing names like Two Worlds Collide!!! and Bao Chicka Bao Bao, Bao Down created a new spin on a classic Asian dish. I had the Jaws Bao, which had coconut crusted Vietnamese catfish, kimchi tartar sauce, Thai vinaigrette tossed cabbage and microgreens. It definitely is the perfect size for a snack or a light dinner. Also, if you are a Yelper, make sure you check in to get the Bao Beignets for free! (Because who doesn't love free things?) NEW: check out their new and expanded location in False Creek: Bao Down Gastropub & Raw Bar. |
