During a Dine Out Vancouver meal at Burgoo Bistro (4434 West 10th Avenue), I discovered the joys of chocolate banana bread pudding. Sure, I'd considered cutting back on sweets postholidays, but hey, it was included in the $18 three-courser, so what's a girl to do? The dense, moist dessert is made even richer by using banana bread in place of the usual white bread, melting in chocolate chips, and topping it with vanilla ice cream. If you miss sampling it on the Dine Out menu at Burgoo's 3096 Main Street and 3 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, locations by February 1, it's on the regular menu thereafter for $7.
