Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:18:32 +0000

In my opinion, the BEST Lobster Crab Roll I have ever eaten, and will ever eat, is in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here’s the thing. I have a very unhealthy relationship with lobster. It’s the one food that I almost never say no to, even if I’ve eaten it for a few days in a row. […]

15 Amazing Newfoundland Restaurants to make your mouth do a jig

Tue, 03 Jul 2018 13:00:49 +0000

The Newfoundland restaurant scene is like its craggy coastline — sporadically populated but full of surprises. St. John’s may have the most eateries — and let’s not kid anyone, it has a fantastic dining scene — but there are plenty of restaurants across Newfoundland worth taking a road trip outside the capital.

Kū-Kŭm looks intimate and modest on Mount Pleasant, not far from the busy north Toronto hub of Yonge and Eglinton. Inside you’ll likely find a motley collection of diners who make this small Indigenous restaurant feel very local. A colourful mural wraps around the back walls, framing a glowing window into the kitchen. We drop […]

The BEST Old Quebec Food Tour

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 22:10:24 +0000

Follow my blog with Bloglovin The sun has decided to play hide and seek as I venture down rue Sainte-Anne towards Le Chic Shack on rue du Fort; the wind is chilly and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m underdressed for a 2.5-hour food tour in Old Quebec City. Yoga pants, a t-shirt, runners and […]

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 12:30:29 +0000

Today, March 14 (3/14) we celebrate International Pi Day! The small technicality of the American formatting of the date should in no way stop us from celebrating the transcendental number that is pi.

The results: more diversity, more conversations and most of all, more opportunities. In February, a sprawling […]

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 14:00:42 +0000

They say you can never go home again. Meh. I don’t agree. I had an unexpected “homecoming” on the 506 Streetcar in Toronto’s east-end a few months ago when it passed through my old neighbourhood of Gerrard and Broadview, also known as Chinatown East, prompting me to get off and explore what had once been […]

A Day in Vancouver’s Chinatown

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 21:51:50 +0000

My time in Vancouver is short, one full day to be exact, so I decided to spend my day in one neighbourhood, Chinatown. An interesting choice, right? I mean, how could I, or anyone else for that matter, spend an entire day in Chinatown?! It’s a pretty simple plan, walk directly to Chinatown, eat at The Union, […]
