More Food Porn: Steamed Buns

My cousin Alecia and her husband Ken were in town today for a quick visit before their ferry ride to the Island. Of course it was pouring down rain after a week of seventy and shine. They love microbrews as much as we do, so I Googled our favorite place, since we walk there and don't yet know the street names. Of course I just grabbed the first link that popped up, and didn't read the subheading (Stay Connected with Steamworks Vancouver Bulge Party 3rd Saturdays Lights Out ...), just the address. So naturally, they ended up at the other Vancouver Steam Works (age 18+ or parental  consent).

Didn't do much after lunch today except wander the streets and find this amazing restaurant, Cibo Trattoria, where we had a late dinner and did our best not to over eat (and only by taking the risotto— with morels & red wine, thyme, butter & parmesan—home with us). Even their menu makes you weak.

Unfortunately, the heirloom tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad didn't have any iceberg lettuce or thousand island dressing. :-(
