BQM Burger Shoppe Ossington

June 22, 2012

Having tasted their mini wonders during The Grid TO’s Burger Week Finale, once I located BQM Burgershoppe at Ossington and Dundas, I could not resist checking them out. With the onslaught of designer burgers all over Toronto, I must say this might be one of the burgers I’d most often get to enjoy as they […]

Phil’s Original BBQ

June 14, 2012

One of my guilty pleasures was to watch reruns of Restaurant Makeover at Food TV Network. I don’t know what it is about the show, but I do enjoy watching the process of redesigning the interiors of a restaurant and the overhaul that happens with a restaurant menu. One episode that made so much impression […]

Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse with Dwayne Walker

June 14, 2012

If I were to list the top 5 influential people in my life, Dwayne Walker would make my list. If one would describe me as optimistic, I would attribute part of it to Dwayne as he was one of the people who could make me believe that I can do anything. All these years the […]

Beach Side Grill

June 3, 2012

Always on a lookout for things I can use for props, I scored a free antique half-door from Craigslist and the generous owner lived in Leslieville. We arranged for me to swing by this Saturday morning and I thought I would use the opportunity to try out a brunch place by the Beaches. East of […]

Guu Izakaya

May 17, 2012

And so I make another whimsical decision once again. I made an impromptu call to my friend, Jojo, to have dinner with me at Guu Izakaya. For months now I have planned this visit but never made it there. This past Tuesday, all the stars in my foodie world aligned and I finally get there. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sneaky Dees

April 19, 2012

When in downtown, I normally go north or south using the Bathurst St. route. Each time I pass Bathurst and College, right in the southeast corner, it would be virtually impossible to miss how lively and jampacked the corner restaurant/concert venue. Sneaky Dee’s has been pulling people in since the 80’s and it is quite […]
