Richmond Station

November 15, 2012

Just like any Torontonian foodie, I was addicted to watching Top Chef Canada and was rooting for Chef Carl Heinrich. Watching the show, I identified with his straightforward, no fuss, quiet demeanour. When the twitterverse was abuzz with his opening a restaurant at Richmond St. West, downtown Toronto, I knew I just had to come […]

Slider Revolution

November 12, 2012

The thing about being a teacher in the morning and being a photographer in the afternoon, it was almost always a guarantee that it was the reason that you skip lunch. That was what has happened today once again. It was past 5:00 pm and I am yet to eat lunch. I did plan my […]

Weslodge Saloon – Permanently closed

November 5, 2012

If there was one thing that was consistent about critic reviews about Weslodge Saloon, it was that it consistently enthralled patrons of its food, interiors and its service. It has gotten me curious to search for it and get more information about the food that they serve. Seeing their website, I was hooked as I […]

DT Bistro

November 3, 2012

If there is one restaurant that my EyeCandyTO partner Abraham Wornovitzky never stops talking about, it is DT Bistro. He never fails to comment how the desserts were beyond good. This past Halloween night, we finally found time to try it and now I am a believer. As we walked in through the doors, your […]

Queen St. West and Spadina Food Trippin’ with Helen

October 29, 2012

One of my very good friends for many years now was Helen Ebron. We were former colleagues at GlaxoSmithKline and we haven’t really dropped the friendship just because I have decided to lead another career. We have regularly kept in touch, meeting every now and then to catch up with each other. This week, she […]

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 […]

Thanksgiving 2012

October 7, 2012

This Thanksgiving weekend, I have a lot to be thankful for. First and foremost, it has almost been two years since my change of careers and I am thankful that I am still here and able to sustain it. I am living the life that I choose to live. That in itself is a lot […]

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 […]

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 […]

Messini’s Authentic Gyros

September 4, 2012

It was my first day back teaching and I have to drag myself out of bed (Yes! I am still in denial that my vacation is over!). It didn’t help that I woke up to a gray rainy day. After basking in a weather with clear blue skies for the past month, this day seemed […]
