Food Adventures with Sheldon – Gino’s Coffee House
I’ll admit it — I almost didn’t write this article. Not because there was nothing to say, but because I assumed there was nothing new to say about Gino’s Coffee House.

Food Adventures with Sheldon – Point 49 Restaurant
One of the things I love about writing these weekly articles is that I constantly discover places to eat that I had either never tried before—or in this case, didn’t even know existed.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Sunridge Restaurant
For years, the building that now houses Sunridge Restaurant sat empty, slowly breaking down and becoming an eyesore. Enter Gary Johal, who purchased the building, gave it a complete renovation, and brought it back to life.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Gallagher Lake Café
This year, I’ve recommended food from restaurants, food trailers, food trucks, wineries, and even gas stations. Now, I’m adding an even stranger location to the list: a self-storage business.
Food Adventures With Sheldon – Same Same But Different Thai Food
As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, I worked in a Thai restaurant, took Thai cooking classes, trained with Thai chefs, and travelled throughout Thailand—so if I’m going to feature and recommend a place that serves Thai food, you can rest assured that it meets my expectations of what Thai cuisine should be.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Sweet Grass at Nk’Mip Cellars
I was recently asked to visit and highlight Sweetgrass at Nk’Mip Cellars. Initially, I declined, explaining that I had already been earlier in the year. But then I was informed they had just reopened – and I hadn’t been to their restaurant yet.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – The Treat Land
If you’ve stood in line at a grocery store or gas station in the last 40 years, you’ve probably noticed that penny candies, 35-cent Wrigley’s gum, and $1 ice cream cones are long gone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still relive a part of your childhood.

Food Adventures with Sheldon – Krusty Joe’s Pizza
At least once a week, someone asks me why I haven’t written about the many pizza places in Osoyoos and Oliver. I usually give the polite answer: “Oh, I just haven’t had time — but I will soon.”
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Cherry Bomb Sandwiches
When I hear the phrase Cherry Bomb, my mind immediately goes to the iconic 1976 anthem by Joan Jett and The Runaways.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Vagabond Kitchen
Before I started writing these weekly highlights, the first place I wanted to feature was Vagabond Kitchen in Oliver. It’s the giant stainless-steel food truck parked at Oliver Eats – and no, you can’t miss it.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek
When I first started writing about local restaurants in the South Okanagan, it wasn’t easy. In fact, it was downright difficult to find restaurants willing to let me write about them and their food, especially when all I had was my word that these articles were meant to highlight, not criticize.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Convivia Bistro
The term “food porn” was coined a decade ago to describe pictures of food uploaded to social media that make people salivate or instantly crave what they see on their phone screens or TV commercials.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Oliver Garden Restaurant
One thing I dearly missed after moving to the South Okanagan was the charm of a run-down, hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant – those late-night go-to spots my colleagues and I frequented during night shifts in Kelowna.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Dolci Thai
Full disclosure: I know Dolci Thai Restaurant in Osoyoos very well, and I know the owner and head chef, Yaowapa “Leena” Ferreira, both professionally and personally.

Food Adventures with Sheldon – The Ditch Café
After multiple requests from readers, I visited The Ditch Café in Oliver. As someone who doesn’t drink coffee, I typically avoid coffee-centric spots, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Barn Owl Eatery & Café
When I first heard that The Barn Owl Eatery & Café was going to start serving “smash burgers,” I had mixed emotions.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Bharawan Da Dhabba
Full disclosure. No matter how hard I try, there is no way to convey, just how spectacular my meal was at Bharawan Da Dhabba Indian Restaurant in Oliver, BC.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – 15 Park Bistro at Watermark
A few years ago, I visited 15 Park Bistro at the Watermark Resort in Osoyoos. At the time, it was “fine,” but not enough to make me go out of my way to return.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry
When I was first invited to dine at Spirit Ridge’s flagship restaurant, The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry, I was hesitant.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – Oliver Eats
If you haven’t yet visited Oliver Eats chances are you’ve at least heard of them. As the self-proclaimed largest supplier of organic produce and specialty cheese in the Okanagan, they’ve earned their reputation as being the “go to” place for anything from making a memorable charcuterie platter to pre-made family dinners.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – TacoRiendo
As someone who has had tacos in nearly every country I’ve visited – Australia, South Korea, Ireland, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Dubai, and the list goes on – I’m what you might call a “Taco Enthusiast,” or perhaps a taco snob.
Food Adventures with Sheldon – DOSA Crepe Café
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into DOSA Crepe Café in Osoyoos for the first time. I had driven past it countless times, so I knew exactly what the sign looked like, but for some reason, I never stopped in to try it. Now, I regret that.
