"But locals sometimes grumble about high prices at the more upmarket stands – which makes cash-only Hamburger 2.85 (corner of Granville Street and West Pender Street) a breath of meaty, fresh air. Named after the price of its staple offering, expect peak-time line-ups for its teriyaki-sauced patties, crispy lettuce, thick tomato slices and toasted buns – the kind of burgers that put rubbery fast-food versions to shame."

"Burger $2.85--which rebranded a couple of years ago as Wakwak Burger--is definitely a Vancouver street food gem. From classic burgers with their special sauce to things like crispy chicken burgers and their sides of fries, it’s no wonder Wakwak Burger always ends up on many a local’s guide for the best cheap eats."

"A post shared by Josh Tan (@jkyletan) on Jul 22, 2015 at 6:12pm PDT. Wakwak burger sells not one, not two, but several of the burgers on their menu for $2.85. And we’re not talking about a sad burger that’s a bun and done, no, it’s got all the size, toppings, and flavour to be a serious contender."

"If you’re tired of fast food places serving lukewarm food, then head on over to Moderne Burger for a wonderful made-on-demand meal served hot.

"One of the newer kids to join Vancouver’s burgeoning “Yeast Van” brewery district on the east side, Luppolo is just as much about community-centric hospitality as it is about making good beer. Named after the Italian word for hops, Luppolo offers a selection of eight beers rotating on tap, so there’s always something new and different to try. From mixed fermentation batches to brews made with wild yeast and bacterial strains, Luppolo has something unique for all palates."

"This rather small brewery operation is serious about presenting customers with a good time in their tasting room along with a good tasting beer. In case you were wondering, Luppolo means hops in Italian, reflecting the Italian heritage of some of the owners. That’s not all you’ll see of Italy here either."
