By Jeff Pamer I have two old bikes and one new bike. Old bikes have their setbacks to be sure. I mean, one of mine still doesn’t run quite right, and I work on it all the time. I’m no stranger to the challenges. Here’s the thing though, they both have these little compartments Read more…
by Jeff Pamer In 2007, I was 26 years old. I just started working at a restaurant in downtown Vancouver after a spectacular career failure. I had previously been the sous chef at a restaurant that was near if not at the top of the Vancouver food scene at the time. I was Read more…
Laying the Foundation By Jeff Pamer If I had one wish from what was overall, a wonderful childhood, it would have been more taking things apart and putting them back together. Actually, there just wasn’t much of the latter going on once I figured out where the screwdrivers were. The Read more…
