Watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi just once did not prepare me for this moment. Be real delicate with the rice, or in my case, the sushi will end up clumped and mushed together with each bite. With the guidance of Chef Tatuka Matsuda at Ebisu, we were each able to take part in forming…

Down at Piggy’s for Authentic Korean BBQ
I love it all about Korean BBQ: sharing platters of foods, the endless sides of pickled radish and the after-eating smokey stench in my clothes.

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…
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 (☺).
