Bonjour Brioche
Posted in food, resto reviews, tagged brunch, food, leslieville, resto review on January 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The things we do for food. Including wait outside in -18C weather. Yep, that’s right. Hesitated for half a second. But, N & I are like-minded…and stubborn as anything. And her reaction to the french toast…EPIC. Worth it. If only we had a video camera, I’d replay over & over again. Warmed my frozen little toes right up. [...]

O & K’s mantra of the night – “Don’t be deceived. We’ll eat our weight’s worth…and more.” Forget the set-up, no time to mince words. It’s late & won’t be able to sleep until posted. Remember? Save draft mode doesn’t exist. Must share experience now…and plus, body is still recovering from the onslaught it just [...]

Dazzling. On King. Yep, that’s the name of the restaurant. Slightly forgivable after eating the best spicy tuna maki in the city. Dare you to find better. A’s flavourful Panang curry – spicy & delicious. Panang noodles – unimaginatively ok. (see VK! can be a critic.) http://www.dazzlingrestaurant.com/ 291 King Street W. 416.506.8886

Tapas… Japanese-styles. Immediately intrigued. Love small plates. Love sharing food. A girlfriend mentioned Guu to me a few weeks ago, a buddy had raved about it. Hugely popular in Vancouver. Owners just opened up a new restaurant in Toronto. Then, I read a post by torontolife. And all the comments that followed it. Then, another friend asked. Then, a co-worker. Then, [...]
Tomi-Kro

Every Tomi-Kro review will rave about the lobster maki balls. This one, won’t be any different. So unoriginal, I know. Visual caveat: these maki balls don’t do anything for me. Barely excited. And I like to get excited about my…… food. So, we get over the presentation. And focus on the different layers of fantastic. [...]

Home-made chili…oh so good. Find me someone who doesn’t enjoy & I’ll make this recipe for them. The hardest part? Waiting out the 90min, while it simmers. Adapted from Food to Die For: Secrets From Kay Scarpetta’s Kitchen (2001) - Patricia Cornwell. INGREDIENTS: 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey (or lean [...]
