Before I start this blog post, let me give a disclaimer.  I am not complaining about my current busy schedule.  Busy is good.  Busy means improvement.  Busy means I am living and breathing what I set out to do.  Like YAY! And it has been busy this month.  Crazy schedules with school and my business […]

Come and Get It by Spadina and Queen

It has been a while that I have blogged about my food trips.  As my classes wrapped up, my schedule leading up to it was definitely crazy.  But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been going around indulging with Toronto’s food finds. One restaurant that has been in my radar for some time now was the […]

BQM Burger Shoppe Ossington

Having tasted their mini wonders during The Grid TO’s Burger Week Finale, once I located BQM Burgershoppe at Ossington and Dundas, I could not resist checking them out.  With the onslaught of designer burgers all over Toronto, I must say this might be one of the burgers I’d most often get to enjoy as they […]

Yours Truly

One of the restaurants that has gotten me curious for a while now is Yours Truly, at Ossington and Dundas.  The reason it was trending was that the service in this restaurant has a personal touch.  What a diner would see on the menu was a list of the main ingredient of the night’s offerings.  […]

One of my guilty pleasures was to watch reruns of Restaurant Makeover at Food TV Network.  I don’t know what it is about the show, but I do enjoy watching the process of redesigning the interiors of a restaurant and the overhaul that happens with a restaurant menu.  One episode that made so much impression […]

Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse with Dwayne Walker

If I were to list the top 5 influential people in my life, Dwayne Walker would make my list.  If one would describe me as optimistic, I would attribute part of it to Dwayne as he was one of the people who could make me believe that I can do anything.  All these years the […]

The GridTO’s Burger Week Finale – Carnivores Unite!

June 3, 2012

Whoever at TheGridTO who has come up with the idea of creating Burger Week in Toronto was a pure genius.  For most of the week, Torontonians were burger-crazy, indulging on special burgers created by the city’s best.  The week culminated with an afternoon with 20 of Toronto’s meat-meisters coming together at Artscape Wychwood Barns.  They […]

Beach Side Grill

Always on a lookout for things I can use for props, I scored a free antique half-door from Craigslist and the generous owner lived in Leslieville.  We arranged for me to swing by this Saturday morning and I thought I would use the opportunity to try out a brunch place by the Beaches.  East of […]

Royal Sulu Civet Coffee Shoot

My childhood summers were mostly spent in a big island south of the Philippines called Mindanao.  Slow and comfortable way of life, where people stop and greet each other in the streets, children playfully climb on trees and the beach was a hop and skip away.  With this simple everyday life, I do remember my […]
