Buddha Dog
Buddha Dog has taken the world’s most underrated meals and made it the front runner in their efforts to change the way Torontonians view food. Everything from their unique product offerings, to company philosophy, Buddha Dog has filled a void that was missing in Toronto’s food scene.
Buddha Dog’s philosophy is based on a movement called “The Slow Food Movement”...

Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar
Today we stopped by one my favorite restaurants in Toronto, Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar. It remains in my Top 5 mainly because of consistency. Every single time I go there its always great food, great service & a reliably soothing ambience.
The whole Jamie Kennedy experience was unpretentious and truly gave the ingredients the spotlight. The tapas style menu sources local Ontario ingredients...

Oral Fixation: cocktail flavoured mints
Not too often do you find tremendous detail put into a package holding mints that will probably last 2- minutes in your mouth. And if you’re like me and can’t wait the 2 minutes before chewing down you’ll find it hard to see what the fuss is all about with these mints. Well I’ve tried them, held back on my temptation to chew and actually enjoyed the flavours.
The mints obviously don’t contain...

Vince Mammoliti of Terroni
While co-owner Paolo Scoppio and Cosimo Mammoliti attend to business abroad, younger brother Vince Mammoliti can be found holding down the fort in their absence. We sat down with Vince at their newest location (Adelaide) and he shed some light on the successful Southern Italian inspired restaurant.

TERRONI
With 2 successful Terroni locations under their belt (Balmoral & Queen) its was almost expected for their newest location to follow suit. What previously was the “Court House” by the Liberty Entertainment Group, has now been transformed into their hippest location yet. Their smaller locations allowed them to focus more on their food while this location gives room for...

Gordon Ramsay in T.O.
Gordon’s newest cook book titled “Healthy Appetite”.
One happy fan.
Watching Gordon on such hit shows as Kitchen Nightmares, The F-Word and Hell’s Kitchen left me thinking that he wasn’t the nicest $@!#%*?. But after today’s book signing, he actually came off as a pretty nice guy that honestly appreciates his fans. Either way,...

Ding Dong: Classic Snack.
This has got to be one of the best snacks ever; if you’re filipino or asian, then you’ll know what I mean.
Not to be confused with the American “Ding Dong” which is a hockey puck shaped chocolate delight, this Ding Dong is a mix of cornick, green peas, cracker nuts, peanuts and fava beans.
If you want to find one of these snacks, you’ll have to head over to your...

Gourmet Food and Wine Show 08
Every year we get a chance to check out this show and we never leave disappointed. From the vast array of new products, to the great food, to the cool people, its definitely an event for any foodie to check out. The only downside to any regular attendant is that the tickets are a bit pricey. Lucky for us we get some freebies :P
Vitao by Nestea. Amazingly refreshing.

Craft Burger
Craft Burger is considered a “Good Eat” due to the fact that they don’t try to over complicate things. When owner Mustafa Yusuf first opened doors his intent wasn’t to reinvent the burger and introduce crazy gourmet renditions on the age old burger. He simply just wanted to offer a simple, great tasting & hand crafted burger. And thats exactly what he has...
