Nook - Vancouver

Nook is located in downtown Vancouver at 781 Denman Street.

I had a San Pellegrino Limonata (CA$3), the antipasto special of burrata with prosciutto with heirloom tomatoes (CA$15), a margherita pizza (CA$15) and chocolate budino (CA$8).

The burrata was creamy and rich and the heirloom tomatoes sweet and juicy. The pizza was brick oven baked, thin and crispy. And the budino was velvety chocolate.

LA Story - Huckleberry

...is located at 1014 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica.

This well known bakery/cafe has a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu. But only on Fridays do they serve their famous fried chicken with corn and salad ($14.50). "L" and I shared this - the crust is very light and crisp and the meat is tender and juicy.

And we had the Marinated peppers & burrata sandwich on baguette ($10.50) with salad. The sandwich was very tasty, especailly the burrata.

We both had a limonata soda ($3.50 each).

Unfortunately, we were too full to indulge in any of the delicious baked goods.
