Where Will Suanne and Ben Dine at 5:45PM?

Updated: 6th May 2012; This restaurant is closed according to Urbanspoon.com.

Hi all:

This might just be another harebrained idea of mine.  Humor me for a moment OK?

Suanne and I will be blogging LIVE of our dinner on Tuesday, June 2nd.  We will start our broadcast at about 5:45PM Vancouver time.  We are NOT twittering.  This live event will have pictures … and interviews … and you can participate too (not in the food though, sorry!).  However, as a consolation, you get to see the delicious food that Suanne and I will be savouring.

Oh, we won’t tell you at this time where we are dining because we want you to find out for yourself — only if you are curious enough. I know … you might be thinking: “Now, why would I want to see what chowtimes is having for dinner?”.

Well, I have no answer to that because that’s your question to answer! LOL! The reason I am doing it is … well … “just because”!!

This is the first time we are doing this and so expect a few glitches here and there. The wifi connection could be iffy but I think I had figured out a solution to that problem already. Remember, broadcast starts at 5:45PM Vancouver time. If you miss the broadcast, the entire broadcast will still be available on chowtimes.com … on this page actually.

I hope some of you will grab your dinner and sit in front of the computer tomorrow. Let’s have a virtual dinner.

See you at dinner.

Asked for something colorful and guess what … they both looked the same!   Suanne had the pineapple juice … she just don’t like alcohol.
6:04
Mine was the Mango Cosmo … a cocktail … mango juice, malibu and vodka … 1/2 shot vodka because I light up easily.   Full shot, I combust.

Comment From kaylee

Strong taste of mango for mine … well, for Suanne it’s just pineapple juice.
