TIME TO get Ripped. It’s a
time-honored North
Vancouver tradition.

Ripp’s Diner is, of course, the
original North Shore “Garden of
Eatin’.”

That morsel of kitchen wit and
a menu of short-order Canadian
cookery priced on the low side of
cheap has kept Ripp’s roiling since
it was founded in 1961 by the orig-
inal Ripper, Dave Ristich.

The Lonsdale diner has gone
throuth assorted hands since then,
the most recent pair of which
belong to Matthew and Vivian Kirn.

The Korean couple have kept
the flame simmering on the basic
Ripp’s Canadian cuisine. But in
October the Kims imported the ser-
vices of Chef Pak Jung, formerly’
of Edgemont Village’s Cufe
Boulevard, and launched an
evening Korean barbecue at Ripp’s.

A laudable move, but a tough
sell.

For so strong is the Ripp’s
Canadian kitchen character that
dining fare more exotic than fries
and grilled cheese sandwiches just
does not seem appropriate to con-
sume in the venerable cafe’s diner
booths.

Ripp's for lunch sticks close to
ground-level fast food. Sandwiches
