    • About Me: the blog, was born in February 2008. This blog is owned and maintained by TS and JS. They write most of the entries, with the occasional guest blogger. Photographs are taken by TS and JS as well. email [at] eatingclubvancouver [dot] com The name of this blog comes from the club "eatingclub," which started in November 1999 as a monthly dining club. TS and JS were founding members of this club and, with likeminded foodies (although that term wasn't popular then), they set out to explore Vancouver's culinary terrain. Then, due to busy schedules, the life of the club got interrupted: it became a once-in-3-months sort of dining club. Then a once-a-year dining club. Then it hibernated for a while. Then the dining club idea died altogether and "eatingclub" became a mailing list for restaurant reviews and other food-related topics (and non-food-related topics, like Buffy, and other important stuff like that).
