East Thirty-Six brings upon all good memories for me. An intimate 1920’s styled space with well-made craft cocktails and savoury shareable plates that hit the spot. Everything is intricately thought out, from the tinctures of the cocktails to the daily-made pickled offerings. With the current Fall and approaching Winter, East Thirty-Six has made…

Jalapeño Mac & Cheese Latkes
Although box mac & cheese is such an inexpensive pantry item, it seems like such a luxurious snack to me. Mainly because the first time I had one of these was three years ago during the period of my low-carb days. I would only have one wheat meal a week or a fortnight…
Light Cafe, Baldwin Village
Baldwin Village is one of the top locations I would recommend a visit to in Toronto. Wandering in from Dundas Square to Baldwin and McCaul, it’s a whole new light (☺). The diversity along this strip is unreal. From Japanese, Mexican to the best Asian fused Gelato in the city, you could plan out worldwide meals in one visit.
Let’s Taste: Barley Islay Whisky, Bruichladdich for #TasteofScotland
It was on West Queen West at The Tempered Room during #TasteofScotland that I first met a whiskey made of barley for the first time. It was a chilly and wet evening. Clustered in a room surrounded by bottles of Bruichladdich (BROOK-laddie) felt about right as the usual lasting whisky warmth had us…

Mustard-Crusted Lamb Rack
Fresh food produce, it’s here! Apart of this “let’s eat” series, I’m making a stop at my local grocer each month to pick up the next seasonal produce in line and discovering ways to experiment with it. Saute, bake, or in a salad? There are so many methods. Let’s see how they each…
30 Years of Craft Beer – Big Rock Celebrates with Ontario Brewery Opening
With over 30 years of brewing experience, Big Rock Brewery is known to step outside of the comfort zone when innovating with beer recipes. One of their first brews was crafted in Calgary in 1985, Traditional Ale, an English style Brown Ale. Today, it remains one of their most popular beers. It has…
Toronto | Jinya Ramen Bar
Coming in from the states, Jinya has landed in Toronto as the newest Ramen bar addition. With juicy kaarage chicken and sake overpours, I’m welcoming Jinya with open arms! Everything is made in-house from scratch. You’ll be slurping quality from the broth to the toppings. I made my visit on an evening hosted by…
Ossington’s Bellwoods Brewery during Summer Nights
Bellwood’s Brewery holds the most wonderful patio with the best memories. My favourite place to sit as a pair is on one of the two-seater high-top seats by the front. Located on Ossington Strip, it has a rotating selection beers introduced seasonally, all brewed in-house in their very small space. Summers have the…
Let’s Eat: Turkey Stuffing Quiches
When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of a time to gather your loved ones around for a dinner with a big roasted turkey taking the spotlight at the table. It wasn’t until 2013 when I got to experience that kind of thrill for myself. My uncle would be responsible for the turkey…
