Barque Smokehouse Restaurant

May 11, 2012

The first time I went to Barque Smokehouse restaurant, famished and desperate for sustenance, I had to skip it altogether and went to another restaurant a few doors down. Why would I do that, you might ask. When I got by the door, I was told that the wait for a table would be around […]

Smoke’s Poutinerie

May 9, 2012

Previously professing potato-love before, it is quite funny that I haven’t blogged about Smoke’s Poutinerie. I have previously tried their poutine but I guess at the time, sustenance was far more important than blogging. There are times when you get too hungry and you can’t multi-task anymore. I am known to be a multi-tasker, squeezing […]

Chef Michael Stadtländer at 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel

May 8, 2012

This past Monday night, renowned chef and pioneer of locally, sustainable food, Michael Stadtländer, came down south to downtown Toronto, to speak of the Canadian Chefs’ Congress. The main highlight of the night’s 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel, true to form, Chef Stadtländer inspired the big throng of foodies who attended the event as […]

Street Food Block Party – Cinco de Mayo TUM/FoodTruckEats!

May 6, 2012

What happens when two massive food events combine together? A really wicked evening of Street Food Block Party! Toronto Underground Market and FoodTruckEats together in one event was a massive production in organization. I initially thought that I could not make this event as tickets went flying and got sold out in a matter of […]

Guacamole Battle, 86d Mondays at the Drake Hotel

May 1, 2012

Last night I was back at the Drake Hotel, eagerly anticipating the night’s guacamole battle. This should be interesting as I am with my partner-in-crime, EyeCandyTO food stylist Abraham Wornovitzky. Being Mexican, I know I would have a good crash course on what is a good guacamole from him. As we were waiting for the […]

Tsuki Izakaya

April 29, 2012

For the longest time I have tried to find time to get into the Toronto izakaya craze and haven’t found the time to go downtown to experience one. The one time I made it to one, the line was too long and on a cold day, I am not quite ready to line up for […]

Dutch Dreams

April 27, 2012

Last night my friend Diona and I were out on the east side of Toronto to see the Iphoneography Exhibit Opening Reception. One of the exhibitors in this Contact 2012 event was my food stylist/partner-in-crime, Abe Wornovitzky. We spent most of the night mingling and perusing the idea or concept of each big print displayed […]

Lamesa Filipino Kitchen at Bathurst and Queen – closed

April 21, 2012

For some weeks now, chatter about the opening of a full-service Filipino restaurant was abuzz over social media. Why was this unusual, you ask? Just like other Filipinos, I was brought up with very good home cooking everyday and with every meal. It may seem labour-intensive but that is the nature of a Filipino family. […]

This little piggy went to Bathurst and Dundas

April 21, 2012

Last week I had to suffer through a craving for Lechon Kawali that I made sure this week I get to swing by Kanto. Calling my friend Tita Flips, a.k.a Diona Joyce, I checked out her menu for this week and luckily she has my favorite as an item for the week. On my way […]

Hopgoods Foodliner

April 19, 2012

Monday morning I receive a text from one of my closest friends, Jojo, asking me if I want to check out High Park later that evening. Spring being too early in Toronto, I immediately thought the park is probably pink with all the cherry blossoms in full bloom. Despite the weather predictions of rain, I […]
