I almost find it shocking to come across a hot dog stand nowadays with so many creative and ethnic street food options, but that’s what this is. Or was it? Careful with the “h-word” because this is no ordinary “hot dog stand”, this is Vancouver’s only sausage stand.

Blue Water blows it out of the water! It is the 9th Annual Unsung Heroes Festival and the thing I’m wondering is why the hell it has taken me so long to come here to try it?! Bravo! Encore! Thank goodness the festival is on every day for the whole month of February because I want to go again!

This isn’t a typical post, but a peek into a dinner party with my friends. It was an authentic Swiss raclette and fondue dinner prepared by a Swiss chef, followed by hand made chocolates from a Swiss Pastry Chef/Chocolatier. Fondue recipe included!

The menu is a bit stale, so it might be reliant on what they’ve always known, which can be good, but at the same time could be better. Although it has heart, some of the food lacks passion, but at least the ambiance is inviting enough to make up for it.
It’s the 2nd annual Vancouver (German) Christmas Market from Nov. 24-Dec. 24. Here’s all the food vendors and a culinary tour of the market including beer, mulled wine, pretzles, pig’s knuckles, stollen, German baked apples & more! Fröhliches Weihnachten!

Be stollen my heart! 18 stollens traveled near and far for a spot in the “Stollen Off” or “Stollen Smackdown”! What is stollen? Who has the best in town? And what to look for in an excellent and authentic Marzipan Stollen! It’s all here!

My Friday night ended with me tweeting: So full of sausages and it hurts… thanks to Falconetti’s I was stuffed from 6 sausages and a couple stains to help me remember the night. Think foodie mind, not dirty mind!
