I’m back in Vancouver for my fist Dot Com Pho since moving to Seattle. Of course, everyone got a big laugh out of that since I moved to Seattle only 6 days ago so I didn’t really miss any Vancouver Pho. While I like to say I came back to Vancouver just for Dot Com Pho, the truth is I came back for a family wedding (one of my cousins is getting married).

Today was my last Dot Com Pho in Vancouver and everyone came out to see me off and wish me luck. We took up two tables at Happy Pho on Main and King Edward. Even Sally Chow made it out to the final Pho. Well, it’s not really the final Pho. I’m sure Dot Com Pho will continue in Vancouver without me and I’ll be back at least once a month to see how everyone is doing.

Like most fairs, the PNE is filled with midway games where you can try your luck at winning some big stuffed animal that will just end up collecting dust in the garage. Most of these games are nothing more than games of chance with the odds stacked heavily in favor of the house. However, a few are just are just out right scams.
Take for example, the simple basketball free throw game. It looks simple enough, sink a free throw and win a stuffed monkey in a banana. Look at it more closely and you’ll see the chances of winning are next to zero.

Carnegie Deli is a famous sandwich shop in New York. It’s famous not for the quality of the sandwiches but for the size. They are just freaking HUGE! The sandwiches are generally made from two pieces and bread with meat in between – a lot of meat. If you’re a meat eater, Carnegie is your place.
The sandwiches are so big, they’re perfect for sharing. However, Carnegie knows this and to prevent a lowering of their profit margin, they charge $3 extra if you want to share your sandwich. They also don’t offer refills on your soda. If you try to eat the entire sandwich in one seating, you’ll need more than one soda.
