One of the most frequent questions we are asked is: “What are your favourite places?”
Or a variation: “What are your regulars?”
The flip answer to that latter query is sometimes: “For us, given what we do, a ‘regular’ is somewhere we go to eat about twice a year!”
But we do have “regulars”.
Bennie and I have spent a couple of weeks musing about it – usually while driving to or from somewhere new! – and have come up with the following without turning to the archives.
Keep in mind this it how it stands for us today, right now.
Were we do draw up a similar list next week, next month, it might look different.
And some of our most-loved establishments don’t appear here because we simply, sadly don’t hit them as often as we wish we did.

Hi Clint! MMmmmmmm … have to give that some thought. Miss Katy’s Crab Shack and Fancy Hank’s BBQ both near Vic Market? Tried Fancy Hank’s recently solo – it was great! Review TC. I reckon you’ve just about got it covered. I like that you included La Morenita – they deserve more kudos than they get for their Latin American-style sandwiches.

Yeah we’re a bit high and dry with American food out here, I can’t wait to try Fancy Hank’s too! Also if you’re interested, ‘Gorilla Grill’ Food Truck is making its debut this Sat 10 May between 1:30 – 5:00pm @ C-Tune Automotive, Unit 11/178 Duke St, Braybrook.
On the Menu:
– Gorilla Thriller BBQ Pork Ribs
– Mama D’s Fried Chicken Ribs
– Fat Tony’s Grilled Korean Pork Belly
(All served w/ ‘Slaw & Corn Cob!)
– Porkzilla Korean Tacos
– Cajun Fries
It sounds like American BBQ/Asian Fusion! š
