Wow! I guess Canadians lack the soul to get this place.

Hi Ben,
great series so far. I’ve been to Ben’s Chili and I must say their food is nothing to brag about. For a quick fix here, in Vancouver/Richmond, I just go to 7-11 and buy two hotdogs and load them up with onions, chili and cheese sauce. It’s actually not too bad because you don’t expect much from a place like 7-11 and you won’t have to deal with all the hype from a place like Ben’s Chili, only to be disappointed.

yeah this place isn’t really known for it’s food, just its history and maybe that it’s pretty cheap. As a local, I wouldn’t go here unless maybe I was in the area and needed something affordable and quick. Certainly wouldn’t go out of my way, and few do, except to maybe say they have tried it once.

Hi Ben, your new template is awesome! I really love it – it’s clean, easy to read and has a very professional look. You’ve nailed this one :)

Hi KimHo:
Oh … I had always thought that it was Bill Crosby. I stand corrected and will update the post with the correct spelling. I must have mixed up Bing Crosby with Bill Cosby. And thanks for the feedback for the new look. As for the comments, I am afraid it will have to stay where it is for now while I figure out the priority. For sure, I am obligated to show foodbuzz “above the fold”. Perhaps I’ll move the announcement and poll further down. I’ll think about it but thanks for the suggestions. Now … as for the food … he he he … Suanne and I have absolutely no guilt over not having veggies at all!!!
Cheers! Ben.

BTW, I will assume you meant Bill Cosby.

Hi Ben,

I like the new look – it has a leaner feeling. An additional comment: If possible, I would prefer the recent comments widget to be closer to the top (or all to the bottom as it used to be). It is a bit difficult to look for that particular widget as I would have to scroll halfway and see if it is there, if not scroll up or down and so.

Now, back to the food: Out of curiosity, did you and/or Suanne felt guilty for not having a side of veggies after this meal? ^_^;;
