Bent

October 11, 2012

Just like any foodie in Toronto, I must confess I am addicted to Food TV Network. One of my favorite TV shows was Top Chef Masters and on season 2, one of the competitors was Susur Lee. I don’t know whether it was that he was from Toronto or it was because of the sensibilities […]

Harbord Bakery

October 4, 2012

Accompanied by Abraham Wornovitzky today, we spent the afternoon scoping the site for a future photo shoot for a client. I don’t know whether it was the brainstorming we did or driving through rows of restaurants by Dundas West that Abe started to have a serious craving for something sweet. It was quite amusing to […]

Salad King

September 28, 2012

All this time I have been puzzled by Salad King. For all the time that I have spent at Ryerson University, I have never come across it. It boggles the mind when I used to be almost always in search of another place that would not give me a sandwich or a wrap during my […]

Sansotei

September 24, 2012

With the recent surge of ramen places in Toronto, I must say I am one of the happy foodies around. I have a love of the comfort that a ramen can give. The soup warmth always that satisfaction of having a good meal. Everything in one bowl, noodle for carbs, pork belly for protein and […]

Theatre Passe Muraille’s Queen Street West Fest

September 20, 2012

One of the things I enjoy about Toronto was its endless list of food events. Last weekend, my friend Diona Joyce of Kanto told me about Theatre Passe Muraille’s Queen Street West Fest. Right between Ryerson and Carr on Queen St. West, the place was at full swing when I arrived. Indie music played in […]

Church Aperitivo Bar

September 16, 2012

After an afternoon of basking on local art at Queen St. West Art Crawl at Trinity Bellwoods Park, it should could get a foodie like me thirsty and hungry. My friend Valerie and I started somewhat early and after over 2 hours of perusing through a sea of paintings, photography, pottery intricate jewelry and such, […]

Poor John’s Café

September 8, 2012

Each time EyeCandyTO shoots for a client, my adrenalin would be on an all-day high. I would literally would feel no hunger, thirst nor fatigue while on the set. The moment I step out, I would immediately start crashing with tiredness and a dose of caffeine would always be a good idea to get me […]

Hey Lucy Restaurant

September 7, 2012

I am still in a state of trying to catch up with things in Toronto and one I was most particular to give attention to were seeing my good friends. One of them was Valerie. She has always been a constant dining companion of mine and being gone for a month, I have missed her […]

Coming home to Toronto

September 1, 2012

Walking the streets of Barcelona on the last day of my vacation has always been a tug of war of melancholy and enthusiasm. I have always been attached to Barcelona and it felt like home. It has always been there to inspire and get me at my most creative. When I come back to Toronto, […]

Caplansky’s Deli

August 13, 2012

I have been a fan of Caplansky’s discovering them through FoodTruckEats events, that when my friend Diona Joyce, aka TitaFlips asked me to come with her to go to Caplansky’s Delicatessen, the invite didn’t need any arm twisting. I was planning to go for their smoked meat sandwich towers but when I got there, something […]
