One of my guilty pleasures was to give in to shrimp tempura cravings. The best way to cure this craving for unlimited quantities of shrimp tempura was to go to a cook-to-order-eat-all-you-can Japanese Restaurant.

To indulge in more Winterlicious, Abe selected North 44 for us to try. The main attraction for this restaurant was that it was owned and operated by Chef Mark McEwan. Comparing the Winterlicious offerings of North 44 and Bymark (another McEwan restaurant in downtown Toronto), we were unanimous in selecting North 44. This was because […]

My friend Jojo has tried to make sure we are going to dine during Winterlicious since last December. Last year I have brought him with me trying out Prohibition Gastrohouse . This year, he was on anticipation when Winterlicious came back for this season. This time around, we went out dining at Pangaea with two […]
