Seth Rogen is back in his hometown of Vancouver, recently seen out at some local restaurants, and it’s your chance to visit some Rogen-approved destinations in the city.
In the past week, he’s reportedly been at Maenam and Lunch Lady — two delicious Vancouver restaurants.
This isn’t the first time he’s shown his love for his home though, and he’s got some go-to spots in town. If you’ve read his book, Yearbook, or watched the first episode of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, it’s obvious he stays connected to his Canadian roots.
Here are some other places that he’s publicly declared his love for and has visited when he comes home.
Phnom Penh
We’ll never forget when Seth Rogen gave Chrissy Teigen some foodie recs for when she was in Vancouver.
Phnom Penh, a Vietnamese-Cambodian spot, was at the top of the list. Seems like he took his own advice on his most recent trip, with a visit to Maenam.
Lee’s Donuts
On an episode of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Rogen heads to this iconic sweet treat destination. They went to Granville Island and Rogen explained that he grew up going to Lee’s.
The manager there even said in the episode that she used to serve him all the time, and she invited them to see how they make the now-famous doughnuts!
He still goes on the SkyTrain
Maybe it’s just because they made him the voice for it before, but Seth did say that he still uses public transit when he visits home. Keep an eye out for him the next time you’re on the SkyTrain.
HK BBQ Master
This hidden gem wasn’t so hidden anymore after its Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner episode.
Dave and Seth went to up this Hong Kong-style BBQ spot in downtown Richmond and people have been thanking them for it ever since.
The aquarium to see an old friend
Also in a Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner episode the pair visited the aquarium in Vancouver.Seth professed his love for this place long before the show though — so much so that they even named an octopus after him.
He met up with “Ceph Rogen” when he was there!
Queen Elizabeth Park
In Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, Seth and chef David Chang make a stop at the stunning Queen Elizabeth Park to smoke before hitting up Seth’s favourite food spots.
It’s not surprising he took Dave to Queen Elizabeth — it’s popular for tourists and locals as a beautiful spot with an epic view.
His old stomping grounds
In Yearbook, Seth mentions places around where he grew up that he would sneak off to. Some people have taken it upon themselves to find them. This trail in Kerrisdale is one of them apparently!
