On The Town: London Food Shopping

On July 26, 2011 · 7 Comments

One of my favourite things to do when I travel is visit the local grocery stores. You can learn a lot about a city/country by what they have going on in their supermarkets. You get an indication of the immigrant communities that influence the food, how health-focused a country is and [...]

On June 24, 2011 · 8 Comments

Here is the conclusion of what I ate in London. Check out Part 1 here!

And on a side note, pretty much the whole trip I had this one line from Wyclef’s “Where My Fugees At?” stuck in my head.  The lyric: Some MCs in the underground, mad at me [...]

On The Town: London – Part 1

On June 22, 2011 · 7 Comments

I recently was fortunate enough to spend five days in London (England, not Ontario).  I visited London about 7 or 8 years ago while studying abroad in France but seeing as I was in broke student mode I didn’t get a chance to do London to its fullest.

This time around [...]

A new season and another visit to Stratford, ON!  Now that the temperatures are rising, it’s maple syrup season in Ontario.  The Stratford area is home to a few farms that produce maple syrup so the fine folks at the Stratford Tourism Alliance organized a day of maple-themed fun for [...]

I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas for work.  Interestingly enough the last time I was in Vegas was also for work (back in the days when I worked in TV for Roker) but that was probably 5 years ago and before I was seriously into food.  During the [...]

An Oaxacan Feast with Chef Pilar Cabrera Arroyo in Stratford

On January 26, 2011 · 2 Comments

It’s no secret that I love Mexican food.  In fact, I pretty much always have an underlying craving for all things Mexican. Living in Toronto where there aren’t many (good, authentic) opportunities for Mexican food I find myself either making my own feasts using Rick Bayless’ recipes or I just plan [...]

On The Town: Miami

On January 14, 2011 · 5 Comments


I was lucky enough to spend my holidays in Miami this year. I had visions of laying on the beach, sipping tropical beverages and eating fabulous meals every day.  Well the weather was COLD so there was no beach activity, I didn’t really have any tropical beverages and I didn’t [...]
