Looking a little the worse for wear is the sign announcing The Burger Scoop, previously covered in this post. Don’t despair, however; the burgers are as good as ever.
Again I just had to stop here, park out front, enter and order the Bistro burger and strawberry milkshake. I was warned that I might find the [...]

Huê Café – Richmond, British Columbia
Hours: 10 to 8, 11 to 6 on Sunday
Updated July 26, 2009: I’m back here again, and still not disappointed in the food or the friendliness of the owner. This time I had the pho (beef noodle soup) and a Vietnamese ham baguette. The baguette is nice and crisp, and [...]

This little gem is a complete surprise, believe me. [...]

My informant tells me that on Tuesday evening, May 20, the venerable Rock Cafe in Stroud, Oklahoma, burned to the ground. All that remains are the outer stone walls holding up sections of a collapsing roof.
