Yes, wyn is copping out a little (a lot) and posting the list that I fastidiously made after Joyce tweeted about Vancouver Magazine’s recently released 2009 list of 101 foods to find yourself eating around the city. Because I like having yet another list to refer to… and that means there will be about one more year to make it through this list and last year’s list until the next list, right??

Legend/Guide:
* Bolded — I’ve had that and /or been there and/or I’ve had that there!
