Suggestions for Deep Fried Onion Rings

This is totally insane and time consuming but one of the jobs I had as a prep cook once had me removing the "paper" on this inside of each onion's layer. Slice onions into rings, pop out each ring, dampen your finger tip, and scratch away at the inside paper.


...Our onion rings never pulled out of the batter, owing to the many tears shed over removing the papery insides. Also, they were dipped in a beer batter. I have to admit, I couldn't eat them anymore after months of onion-paper-removal duty.

Eating in Seattle, Vancouver, and in between

I'm a student at UBC, so cheap and delicious in vancouver is all that I seek!
I can recommend Burgoo (4434 w. 10th avenue; I haven't been to any other locations but I like this one), and Sophie's Cosmic Cafe for the biggest, most hangover-killing breakfasts, I can't think of much else off the top of my head, but Sushi/Greek food in Vancouver tends to be cheap, and very, very tasty (and there are tons of non-fishy options). I get mad cravings for burgers sometimes, and Vera's Burgers are very satisfying.

If you are planning on a night out, you could hit up Sanafir on Granville street (they do a tapas-type thing, and each option is served three ways for something like $14/option).

Canadian Cuisine?

one thing i have noticed as a vancouverite who travels to long beach/seattle a lot is that canadian restaurants tend not to serve massive portions of food.
