Dinner with Yaro Starak

written by John Chow on May 7, 2008

Profit from binary options

Last night, Sarah and I join Yaro Starak at Red Robin on world famous Robson Street for an Entrepreneurs-Journey blogger meet up. It was great to finally meet Yaro and some of his readers face to face. Being in the same niche, it wasn’t too surprising that his readers and my readers are sometimes the same person. A total of 11 people attended the meet up.

Red Robin is known for their “gourmet” burgers and wraps. Calling their burgers gourmet is an insult. It’s barely one notch above McDonald’s and three times the price. However, their fries are pretty tasty and it’s damn big! Here are some photos from the event.

Your next chance to meet Yaro in person will be at this Saturday’s Dot Com Pho. If the RSVP I’ve received are any indication, the next Dot Com Pho is going to be our biggest ever. See you there!

great dinner.. can I find these things... in India.. :shock:

hmm at first glance his website entrepreneurs-journey.com seems to be about traveling and different foods, so it takes a little digging to get to the good stuff!

Nice company...strange food!)))

John,

I want that burger!

And of course meeting you and Yaro :D

Blog guro's meet-up in fine dinner, wow... I'd like join with you guys, but too far awya from the Red Robin.

John, the mushrooms on that burger turns me on.

Hmm... this is the first time i saw the fries that big.. is it really that big at the Robson street?

me likey red robin! shame i don't live in vancouver anymore, i liked their cocktails. i remember caesar salad was pretty good too.

:evil: That burger looks so yummy and I am so hungry and on a diet.

Wonder how long you would live eating that every day ;-)

:mrgreen: Avoid junk food on daily basis , it`s not all about the overweight but the diseases that it may cause , better eat some oysters!

Where is the future blogger ?? (Sally)....

I am glad you guys had a good time

Sounds like fun. Maybe people in Southern California should host something too :)

John Chow: Yaro, your dick is this short?

Yaro Starak: Yes

John Chow: No, wait, mine is shorter.

You and Yaro is two of my best online gurus in blogosphere. :idea:

That burger looks amazing.

The burger looks pretty plain, but the wraps look pretty good.

So, what did all that brain power talk about during the eat fest?

I think Red Robin is pretty delicious. That Whiskey burger (bbq sauce and fried onion rings) is tough to beat.

Is this Red Robin where Hooter's used to be?

Hey John, you look like you found Jesus in that french fry. You should sell it on Ebay.

Wow John, that looks like the mushroom swiss cheeseburger of death there.

Is Yaro the guy with the long curly hair :?:

Hell no, I think Yaro is the other guy with Voodoo T-shirt. :twisted:

The food is terrible and the portions are so small. Cheers ssmilin.com

I've never eating at Red Robin. Here we have Johnny Rocket's which makes really good burgers (for a chain restaurant) but the best burgers in my town come from a place called Jack's.

You have to get the royal red robin burger

haha I hate high caloried foods.

So this is how you plan on dropping the pounds before Computex? :lol:

On a side note, I think that's the same Voodoo shirt you wore at pho last week and in the video with the Market Leverage stuff?

Voodoo gave me a bunch of shirt. Unfortunately, they all say the same thing.

How about a contest where you give one away to one of your readers :grin:

They also gave him a bunch of khaki pants...

"Voodoo shirt, Khaki pants, looking like a (fill in the blank)"

:mrgreen:

Holy cholesterol, Batman! The wraps do look like they might've been good though.

The world's greatest entrepreneurs sitting in one table. How I wish I was in Canada now :)

Those wraps look fantastic and WOW, I have never seen fries that large! I think there is a Red Robin in Memphis - I will have to try it out sometime soon.

I don't like Red Robin's any more. Their service is a joke, their food has been poor.

The burgers aren't bad but the local pubs are better. John you should of said it was Yaro's birthday so that that Red Robin's staff would of sang that crappy birthday song that embarrasses anyone who is within a 10 foot radius of you.

The last time I went into a Red Robin, I walked out because no one wanted to give us a table. Lame!

You should come to NY to have one of those blogger meetings. I'd love to attend to one, but CA is so far away. I'm thinking to attend to F1 Grand Prix in Canada this year, maybe I'll drop by where you guys meet. :mrgreen:

John: It was good to chat with you and Sarah, and share the world's biggest fries. I will email you that restaurant info we talked about.

Cheers, Douglas

Whether they're gourmet or not, those burgers actually look like good grub. The fries certainly look good, too. I've heard about the Red Robin, but there aren't any where I live so I can't test the food.

Those foods look so del.icio.us :lol:

Looks, like a good time. Entrepreneurs-Journey is a great blog, in fact it was the first ever make money online blog I subscribed too. Everyone should definitely consider subscribing to his blog :grin:

Agreed! Yaro is the MAN! And I do agree about Red Robin too... NOT gourmet at all.
