Enoteca Sociale 1288 Dundas Street West Toronto, ON 416-534-1200 (Photo borrowed from Food & Co.) Contrary to how things appear on this blog I don’t go out to eat that often. Realistically (if I’m not travelling) I’ll go out for dinner maybe twice a month. Don’t get me wrong, I love to go out but [...]

Every year they have a stand at Harbourfront and sell a ton of SOUP during the humid Toronto summers. I don’t make it down to Harbourfront very [...]

Hanoi 3 Seasons 588 Gerrard Street East Toronto, ON 416-463-9940 This week’s installment of “On The Town” takes us to the East end of Toronto.

Burger Shoppe Quality Meats 210 Ossington Avenue Toronto, ON 416-850-1919 My girls and I were having our monthly book club meeting and decided to do “Restaurant Edition”. Normally we do it at someone’s house but we figured we’d switch it up. I compiled a shortlist of restaurants (including Delux and Czehoski’s) and we settled on [...]

One of my fave snacks in NYC is the corn on the cob from Cafe Habana in Nolita. It’s Mexican-Style grilled corn that is slathered in a creamy concoction, dusted with cayenne pepper, rolled in cojita cheese and drizzled with lime juice. SO GOOD. Since I’m on a temporary ban from visiting NYC (no unnecessary [...]
The Publican 845 W Fulton Market Chicago, IL 60607 (312) 733-9555 (Photo from The Publican ) The Publican has won over my stomach because of its pure deliciousness! Seriously. Ever since I had dinner there a few nights ago all I can think about is my meal that fateful night. The Publican is in Chicago’s [...]
