Valentines Day with Smart Sex Talk
Zin Restaurant & Lounge is located on fashionable Robson Street in the heart of downtown Vancouver. During Valentines Day, diners can not only experience innovative Westcoast Cuisine but also receive sex advice from Certified Sexologist (yes, there really is such a thing) Dr. Pega Ren of Smart Sex Talk.
While our Valentines Day dinner was at Zin, it was actually an all day event starting with a $60 burger lunch at Fennie’s Restaurant and ending with a one-on-one sex talk with Dr. Ren at Zin. It was an interesting experience to say the least and a Valentines day I will not soon forget.
Most Expensive Burger In The City
The Feenie Burger starts at $16 but you once you add extra stuff like foie gras and beef short ribs, the price swells to $54. Add in tax, drink and tips and you’re looking at a $75 per person lunch. The maxed out burger has 4,000 heart attack inducing calories. The burger is so big you can’t eat it with one bite. You bite the top half and then bite the bottom half and just work your way through. After eating it, I felt no rush to head of to Zin for their seven course Valentines Day dinner.
Dinner and Sex Talk at Zin
Located inside the Pacific Palisades Hotel, Zin offers a bright, open and romantic space. Executive Chef Richard Tyhy prepared a special seven course Valentines Day menu with interesting names like Seduction, Foreplay and Happy Ending. And of course, there was Certified Sexologist Dr. Ren to add in some stimulating conversation.
Flirt
Raspberry and cachaca shot with coconut foam. It was very flirty and an interesting way to start off a seven course meal.
Introduction
Kushi oyster on the half shell with black cherry migonette. Let’s face it, you can’t have a Valentines Day dinner without consuming some oysters.
Poached white, green and purple asparagus with sauteed black truffles and champagne froth. While we can definitely taste the asparagus, the truffles were nowhere in sight.
The Chase
Passion fruit sorbet with champagne. Think of this as a very expensive float.
Seduction
Confit of pheasant breast and thigh. Roasted vegetable and potato ragout, honey and spice jus. This was an absolutely fantastic dish.
Roasted citrus infused white bass, black sea urchin beurre blanc, poached turnip, avocado and orange tartare, purple potato pomme paille. Presentation on this dish could use some work but it tasted really good.
Foreplay
Frozen, vodka infused melon brochettes. Not much taste to this dish. It was extremely cold and gave me a brain freeze.
Mmm…
Grand Marnier infused dark chocolate fondue for two. Mmm is right!
Happy Ending
Assorted chocolates, passion fruit jellies, toasted coconut and banana macaroons. There isn’t any better ways to finish off a meal than with a happy ending.
The Massage Bar
After dinner, Zin gave me a massage bar as a gift. It’s 100% natural and edible. Perfect for a sweet, sexy, lickable massage. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out how to use it. I hope your Valentines Day was as interesting as mine.

Reply to this commentIn and Out rocks - get “animal style” burgers for sure!
John, that first burger, ugh.
Step#1 - Throw it in a blender
Step#2 - Inject resulting oozing juices directly into buttocks area.
Step#3 - Thank the cow for your new pedonk-a-donk, minus the tummy ache!
We want a picture of your industrial strength treadmill too.
Reply to this commentIs the heart attack included with the burger, or do you pay extra?
Reply to this commentShame on the Dr. for not answering your question! I think she just wants to schedule you for an appointment and rack in the $$$!
Reply to this commenta meal w/ burgers @ $75/person? Good thing thing the food can be expensed. I think I would prefer a visit to Vera’s instead.
Reply to this commentLooking at these morsels and realizing that it will go straight to the heart, truly gives me the blues. As always I can dream …
Reply to this comment$54 for a burger? What a rip! The beef/short rib/fioe gras/truffle aioli dc burger at Diva@theMet is only a mere $36!
Reply to this commentSurprised you can still get Foie Gras in so many places. I think it is outlawed in Chicage and a couple other major cities. They was they get the goose liver to be that size is mean…too bad it tastes great!
Reply to this commentYou get what you pay for
Reply to this commentJohn, after reading this post, I ll go to kitchen and do myself a cook right away, almost envy ya at the most, hoho

Reply to this commentYou can get a Mickey D’s burger for what, $2.50? Jokin’, looks like you had a nice day there John and had plenty to eat.
Reply to this commentWhat a sexy valentine’s day!! Filled with food, wine and advise on sex from an expert. Couldn’t get any better, right ?? Or perhaps, the Zin Restaurant & Lounge could have beds instead of tables.. Just imagine enjoying the 7 courses dinner on a rosy, cosy bed while doing some hanky-panky ??!! Hmmm I leave that to your creative mind to continue the story..

Reply to this commentHi John,
THis is your blog, so far be it for me to tell you what to post… but do your readers REALLY care what you ate for dinner? Honestly?
I also find it fascinating that you find what you ate at a given meal so interesting that you would take so many pictures of it. Very interesting, indeed.

Reply to this comment‘isn’t any better ways to finish off a meal than with a happy ending.’ damned straight! Oh wait, am I just assuming that you are talking about ”that” type of ‘happy ending’?
Reply to this commentLooks tasty, but the burger has something on it that is reminiscent of a small curly pile of dog poop.
Reply to this commentThe photographs simply made my mouth water. Anyway, your combination is great!
Reply to this commentThe food looks Yummy………… I love your innovations in trying new eating joints.
Reply to this commentI love your ideas as far as how you write off your food …. but no offense … some of those plates don’t look like anything I would want to go near … much less put in my mouth.
I guess that’s just the bachelor in me coming out. LOL Give me a hot dog and a bun and a little ketchup and we are good to go!
