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, […]

The Rooster Coffee House

On my way home one day from Leslieville, I passed by the length of Broadview where you can see the expanse of the Toronto skyline through a big park.  I once did a shoot here for my friend and personal trainer, Dwayne Walker .  I used every moment of that shoot to get back at […]

Caplansky’s Deli

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 […]

While dining in a restaurant by Queen St. West, I once wondered what was Thuet bread.  As I waited for my food, we did a quick search on what it was and found out all about Marc Thuet.  The man behind the chain of gourmet bakeries in Toronto, it was said to be one of […]

What any candy store to a photographer was a store like Vistek. Because of my plans to travel, I thought I’d give myself a treat and grab myself a better camera bag. Such was my disappointment when I discovered that what I was lusting for a few weeks was actually out of stock.  My shopping […]

Again I found myself at Leslieville as I try to discover the hidden secret of the east side of downtown Toronto.  Although saying this next find I visited as hidden might be a misnomer.  Lately I find that a lot of people have checked it out.  Naturally, curious person that I was, I went to […]

Each time the weather is perfect on a summer weekend, I always feel the need to get out and enjoy it.  This weekend was no exception.  When my friend Valerie asked me out for a brunch, I readily said yes and I scoured Urbanspoon.com for brunch places close to Bloor West Village.  What caught my […]

Being summer, my teaching schedule was light compared to the first few months of the year.  Taking advantage of it, I brought along my sister, niece and my nephew to go food trippin’ with me downtown.  All three of them have  a love for Japanese cuisine and because Japanese noodles are on the top of […]

The Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder

For the last 6 months I have planned to try this restaurant but one way or the other, I never seem to get there.  I have heard so many oohing and aaahing over it, it was literally agitating to me that it took me five times of scheduling before I got there. The last 6 […]

It has been a while that I have blogged about my food trips.  As my classes wrapped up, my schedule leading up to it was definitely crazy.  But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been going around indulging with Toronto’s food finds. One restaurant that has been in my radar for some time now was the […]
