Featured on You Gotta Eat Here and Diners Drive-ins and Dives, frequented by all the locals, and recommended by AFB? Must warrant a food blog review from yours truly. After a long day of inner tubing at Cypress Mountain, we descended into the North Van area to find some eats. We found Tomahawk and were greeted by a boisterous crowd of Vancouverite hipsters looking to indulge in some feel good barbeque action. Although the restaurant was packed, we were seated almost immediately and our burgers arrived soon after. Both my colleague and I ordered the highly recommended Tomahawk Burger. It was a mile high combination of beef patty, wiener, fried egg, bacon, shredded lettuce, onions, cheese, tomatoes, and their specialty sauce: a chubster's delight. The burger was definitely near the top of our list of great burgers however it did have a few faults. Our biggest complaint was an over abundance of lettuce and not enough sauce. The fries were fresh and crispy and delightful. Upon return, we would definitely order another one of the numerous menu options which all looked scrumptious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was without a doubt one of its most alluring factors. It was full of locals, tourists, regulars, and first time costumers like ourselves. Conversation filled the air and the servers were kind and welcoming. The prices were average ($10-20) for an entree.
We recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Vancouver area.

On a frigid Monday morning in quaint Walnut Grove, my esteemed colleagues and I were enjoying a piping hot cup of dark roast. We were overlooking the regal Cascade Mountain Range when our wise old mentor Kevin Fatkin suggested we dine at the nearby Thai eatery: Bangkok Kitchen. The following weekend, 4 guys (no homo) myself and co-author included, decided to watch the theatrical masterpiece Skyfall. But, before sitting down to enjoy the latest Bond rendition, we settled on the aforementioned Bangkok Kitchen as out dining locale. Upon entering, we were surprised by the lack of customers but also extremely impressed as the hostess was wearing a Totoro shirt..who doesn't love Totoro, that fluffy ball of who knows. Speaking of theatrical masterpieces, oh boy does this japanese classic rank amongst the best of the best. But I digress, we were seated and promptly ordered. For appetizers, we chose Spring rolls (cannot go wrong with good ol' fashioned spring rolls) and Toong Tong which translated into English means chubbing goodness wrapped in light pastry. Onto the main dishes...my friend ordered the red curry and claims that I copied his selection; our two other colleagues ordered sweet and sour chicken (not very adventurous kdawg tsktsk) and Tom Yum Rice Noodle (the noodles were replaced with rice because they ran out).
Prices were pretty good considering portion size and quality. We all highly suggest this fine establishment and will be sure to frequent it again!
