Last year on my way to Barcelona, I made a stop at Frankfurt. I always used to lay-over for a few hours at Frankfurt but last year, I decided to make that lay-over especially long. It gave me enough time to go downtown and browse around the city. And by browsing, I mean trying local […]

That was when I discovered Mugshot Tavern, conveniently at Keele and Bloor.  I thought it would be the […]

It seems all my intent to retro post past foodie travels have to wait as I am running around Toronto and surrounding area to show my favorite cousin around.  Last weekend, we went to Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario to check out the Canadian version of Okotoberfest (www.oktoberfest.ca). Before indulging in beer, we headed out first to see […]
