It's good to be legal. My best friend Ryan and I went to Raglan's Bistro to grab some drinks and food after watching Sentinel Secondary School's Cabaret.

I ordered a Hurricane of Shipwrecked. I don't exactly remember what was in it, but it was great. It had a taste of carbonated raspberry, it was really girly, but delish!

Shipwrecked - Hurricane - $14.95

Finally... the food! We ordered the Pulled Pork Poutine. It was a basic poutine with aged cheddar and gravy, but the twist is the sweet and tender pulled pork. Delicious!

Pulled Pork Poutine - $12

The final thing we got was a Double Cheese N' Chicken Quesadillas. It was pretty basic. It wasn't anything special, in fact, I probably wouldn't order it again. For its price, I would've been better off with another poutine.

Double Cheese n' Chicken Quesadillas - $12

Overall, it was awesome! The drink was great and so was the poutine, but unfortunately, the quesadillas was only mediocre. Ryan and I definitely enjoyed ourselves and the atmosphere of the place at 12AM was awesome.

Hello Foodies! I am finally back in Vancouver for the rest of the summer.

For my first homemade meal, my mother decided to do Korean food. From scratch, she made a Korean dish called Bibimbap. It had egg, seaweed, sweet meat, kimchi, rice, and other ingredients that I do not remember (oops, I should've payed attention!).

It was really good. Before you serve it, you mix it while it is still hot in the bowl. It becomes some sort of fried-rice-like dish. It was amazing. I haven't had homemade asian food in FOREVER!

The second meat dish my mother made was called Jaeyukbokeum (according to my Korean friend). It's a really interesting burst of spicy and sweet. The meat is really thin so it melted in your mouth. It was amazing!

At the end of the day, there is nothing better than a Mother's cooking. After eating cafeteria food and take out all month, it feels good to get back in the groove of eating homemade food.

My last couple of weeks have been insane. I've been extremely busy with finals, packing, moving back home, and working at the SoHo International Film Festival. From days where I had to wake up at 9AM to begin work to nights that ended at 5AM to begin sleeping for the next class, my life has been hectic. Finally after finishing all my final papers, I found the time to rest and go out to spend my last real meal in New York City.

My roommates, Josh and Eli, and I went to Brother Jimmy's BBQ for an All-You-Can-Eat-Feast. The feast included unlimited Northern or Southern ribs for a maximum of two hours.

The place had an awesome atmosphere. There was a huge range of people eating here. From families to single people looking for a fun night at the bar. They had really interesting decors such as ski ball machines and pin ball machines.

Since we knew were were going to go to an all you can eat feast, we starved ourselves a bit. We were SO hungry!

So we had ordered the Brother Jimmy's BBQ (HUMONGOUS) Nachos. It had chips, BBQ beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa & guacamole served with pulled pork. It was the most amazing batch of nachos I've had in New York. The chips were perfectly baked and the mass amount of topics just somehow, weirdly enough blended so well together. From the picture, it looks medium sized, but when I saw it in person, I could tell why they labelled it HUMONGOUS.

Brother Jimmy's BBQ (HUMONGOUS) Nachos - $14.50

You can tell by the look on Eli's face that this was a very special moment.

Finally the All-You-Can-Eat Rib Feast arrived. You had the choice of two types of ribs: Northern and Southern. It comes with cornbread and 2 extra sides. It also comes with a special discount for drafts of bud or Bud Light for $2 each.

These ribs were so nicely charred in the grill and it tasted delicious. It was so well cooked. You know its cooked when the meat just slides off the bone like hot butter. Just writing about this post makes me hungry for more ribs.

The two sides I ordered were regular fries and mac and cheese. They weren't anything special, but the mac and cheese was actually pretty good.

After this first batch, we had one more batch and we had no choice but to call our defeat. It was just too much to handle. This entire plate was already too much for one person, but TWO plates? That's enough for a beast.

All-You-Can-Eat Rib Feast - $19.95

Overall, this place had amazing ribs and delicious side dishes. I would actually go back here to try some of their BBQ dishes like a pulled pork sandwich. This place is actually priced really well for the amount of food you're getting. Especially their daily specials.

I consider this to be my last supper in New York City. Eating here with my two best friends was the best way to finally say goodbye to this beautiful city. So long New York, I will miss you.

I can't wait to go back to Vancouver. It's been much too long.

Hello foodies,

I have made a major change to my blog. I have changed my official blog name from Vancouver Foodie to Norg Eats. Let me explain my reasoning behind this.

As a college student in NYC I would be spending half my year in the city and the other half in Vancouver itself. Being "Vancouver Foodie" I thought it was a great name because I was from Vancouver, but this could get many people confused. I might mislead them to think that I am posting restaurants that are in Vancouver, but in reality, I am posting about those of New York.

I thought that Norg Eats is a great new name for my blog because of its simplicity and its personality. Many of you already know me as Norg and many of you know me as a foodie. So there you have it, I created "Norg Eats". I am still the travel/food/experience blog that I once was, so tag along and continue following me for more food adventures!

My roommates, Josh, works at an apparently famous burger restaurant called Bare Burger (514 3rd Ave). They have amazing food here, especially (you guessed it) their burgers. Everything is free-range and organic. But what got my attention were the choices of unique meats for your burger.

You were able to choose from the regular burger patty to something exotic like bison, wild boar, or even ostrich! And for those who are vegetarian, they have a veggie menu. They even have quinoa burgers, which sounds amazing and healthy.

I went to the restaurant with my roommate, Eli and my friends Kim and Kendall to surprise our other friend Josh at work.

Eli and Kim started with a House Made Lemonade, which had a nice zest taste and was very refreshing.

House Made Lemonade - $2.95

I also really their decorations and table setting as well. It had a nice rustic feeling to it that gave the perfect atmosphere for the restaurant.

Kendall and I ordered a Bare Shake. She got a chocolate flavored one and I got peanut butter. Compared to Shake Shack's famous shakes, this peanut butter shake was a close competitor. It was sweet and delicious, but it wasn't as smooth as one from Shake Shack. This is still something I'd order again though.

12oz Bare Shake (Gluten Free) - $4.95

Finally, I ordered the Western. It was basically a multigrain bun with smoked mozzarella, country bacon, house-made Carolina slaw, and smokehouse sauce topped with crispy spicy pickle spear. I had it with bison meat. It was really delicious and extremely heavy to eat. I really like how they do the bacon here, it's not like a grocery bought bacon, but it had more of a ham-like consistency. The pickle spears were really tasty as well where it added a nice sour and crunchy flavor in the burger.

Along with the burger, I had a side of Bareburger Onion Rings, which were delicious as well. Its batter was well seasoned and it wasn't too salty, but salty enough to make you want more.

Western - $11.65 + Bareburger Onion Rings $4.95

Overall, this place is a great restaurant for EVERYONE. There is something for meat lovers and tree huggers and that something most definitely delicious. The burgers here are definitely more unique than those of Shake Shack or anywhere where I've been to so far and the amount of choices you have is what gives its appeal. For a place like this, I recommend that you step out of your comfort zone and just try something crazy. You never know, you might even like ostrich meat!

This weekend, after finally getting my Starbucks Goldcard, I wanted to splurge in Starbucks.

I bought a Chicken BLT Salad Sandwich. 

Finding it in the cold sandwiches area, I didn't expect to taste anything special. I was actually surprised of how decent this actually tasted. It was really stuffed and filling. I would actually go back to have another sandwich. It's not to kill for, but it's actually pretty good.

I also grabbed a Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino.

This flavor of frappuccino was the best flavor I've ever had (except for a custom frapp a friend made me in Vancouver). This was really sweet and extremely caramel-y! The best part was the crunchy topping.

I'm not one to get frappuccinos in Starbucks, but never have I regret the decision to buy one!

Yesterday afternoon, my Freshman BFA Acting class went on a pot luck in Central Park.

It was beautiful yesterday! It was hot and sunny.

Funny enough, this is the first time I've really hung out in Central Park. To think that having lived here for a good school year, I'd actually hang out in the famous Central Park more often than none.

I mean, look how beautiful it was! I'm still amazed.

After walking around for a good half hour, we found a great area to set up our picnic.

We set up our blankets and enjoyed the sun.

Then came the food! Kim brought empanadas from Empanada Mama, which were absolutely delicious! She got 10 chicken empanadas, 5 pernils (which were like shredded pork), and 5 cheese. Cassidy brough chips and starburst. Randi brought fancy sparkling juices and chips & guac/hummus. Emma brought popcorn. Josh made pasta with pesto sauce. Kendall bought adorable mini cupcakes. Finally, I made homemade Oreo Truffles.

Kendall's cupcakes were really good and fun to eat. It's bite-size cuteness made it pretty to look at.

These were my homemade Oreo truffles. The recipe is a secret as of now. Maybe I'll make a post about its recipe. Yum yum!

Unfortunately, the sun came in and out. Damn clouds!

After 3.5 hours of munching and talking, this mess was born.

At the end of the day, this day was a successful gathering. This was the first time the class had gathered together and the company was perfect. I definitely look forward to more events like this!

I have an addiction. It's called large popcorn with extra butter.

Before I say anything else, I wanted to try something new. This segment is called "Movie Munchies" where I not only share my movie time snack, but also my experience watching the said film.

Last night, my roommates and I went to see the midnight release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. As a honorary nerd and self-titled geek, I was more than excited to see the sequel to the first epic. I was interested to see how Jamie Foxx would pull off Electro and how Dane DeHaan would portray a different kind of Harry Osbon/Green Goblin. Without a doubt, I was extremely impressed with what I saw.

Hardcore Fanboying

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 had put A LOT of things in one movie. My roommates and I agreed that there was a lot that was going on. We say this in a good way, unlike Toby Maguire's Spider-Man 3 where all hell broke loose and ruined the franchise. What I was most impressed about the movie is how close they are portraying the movie to the actual comic books. Some things, which I don't want to spoil, are so spot on.

But what is a great Summer movie without some movie munchies?

Popcorn is my spirit animal

I absolutely love popcorn. Sadly enough, this is my main movie motivator. I cannot sit in a dark theatre without a bag full of buttered popcorn. Even though this is the most expensive part about going to the movies, this is the most necessary.

Although I didn't get a picture of it, I bought a box of Buncha Crunch, which for you Canadian who don't know, is a crunch bar in little ball forms. Sort of like Nerds candy but in chocolate form. I learned from my friend, Kim, that the best way to have it is when you put it in your popcorn and mix the sweet and salty flavors together. It's simply delicious!

Overall, Spider-Man 2 is a must see. If you're a nerd of any kind, or if you just love a romantic action film that will emotionally touch you and have you on the edge of your seat at the same time, then this is the movie for you!

Well, that wraps movie munchies for today! If you guys have any films to recommend to me whether it's in theaters or just Netflix, leave a comment and let me know!
