Nancyland, Vancouver Foodie Fun

This is simply a journal of my food adventures, mainly in Vancouver, BC. Basically, a place for me to live out my long-time fantasy of being a restaurant reviewer. I hope that readers will find the reviews useful. I will include random bits about other foodie adventures like grocery and cookware shopping, cooking/baking projects, cooking classes, and eventually I’ll add a cartoon – The Adventures of Ha Gow, my little Chinese dim sum shrimp-filled dumpling dude. Foodies of the city, unite!

Never Go To Blog Angry

I had horribly rude service tonight from a particular female server at a particular restaurant, and my first impulse is to lash out immediately with an angry post, but just like in most situations, I think it's wiser to make peace with it all first. Mainly because I can't imagine that the owners of the restaurant would have sanctioned the behaviour of this waitress, and it would be a shame to sully their entire business because of this one person's screw-up. But I'll find out whether that's the case or not. Ultimately though, even if it is just one person's screw-up, for me, it might be worthwhile to avoid this restaurant just to avoid the risk of getting served by this person again. What a shame that would be, because it's a restaurant I really want to love. Curious? A full report will come in time, when my blogging isn't impaired. Remember kiddies, don't blog angry!

But don't be so sure that the owners are not aware of a server's rude behaviour. I used to be more surprised by that, but I've come to note that if rude service is happening at a restaurant, and it continues to happen, the owners usually are in the loop, if not sometimes the problem itself.
