Dinner from Beast Unleashed at BC Place | Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs Nashville SC

I blame past me (December 2021 me), who decided it's such a fantastic idea to buy 12 of the 17 home tickets for games of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC for two people.

For the last couple of games, I feel jaded by the time. This is my first time being so emotionally invested in a losing team. Growing up in the Philippines, I watched professional and local basketball passionately. I go to games live and am shameless enough to take pictures with players whenever I see them at events. Somehow, all the teams and players I support are more or less winning teams. I went to a university with a great basketball program, and we won a championship when I was there.

When I started working, I stopped watching sports altogether until I arrived in Canada. My brother introduced (explained the rules) me to American football and soccer. We started watching the NFL, CFL (BC Lions), and of course, the Whitecaps FC.

I am not emotionally (or financially) invested in any NFL or CFL team, but the Whitecaps FC is the only team I support. We only watched them on TSN, and we would do a game live one at most twice a season, but this year I decided to go all-in by buying a flex pass of 12 home MLS games.

I regret that decision. I admire fans who have been season ticket holders for years with this team. I only started watching during Carl Robinson's last season until now, and I am throwing the towel already. We'll still watch and support the team, but we'll go back to watching on TSN and maybe 2-3 games in BC Place next year.

I still have two home games to watch this year, and I will find ways to make them enjoyable.

  • Seattle Sounders - I am a fan of Freddy Montero, so I can't wait to see him back in BC Place.
  • Austin FC - I like the colour of their jersey. LOL

Elvis Burger and Handheld Pie from Beast Unleashed

Anyway, the food this evening is as mediocre as the team's performance.

The Elvis Burger includes peanut butter, but the worst part is the extremely dry beef patty. The bacon was the saving grace of the dish.

The Handheld Pie is acceptable, but it's something you'll find in the frozen section of the grocery. It's not good enough to be ordered again.

Trying all the dishes from Beast Unleashed, only the Bao Burger is deliciously worth it.
