So Very Grand

Might as well wrap up my Parkdale posts-in-limbo with Grand Electric. Chef Colin Tooke and Ian McGrenaghan’s place has been on fire since it opened with 2-hour waits. Reminiscent of Big Star in Chicago (these ex-Black Hoof kids went and did some recon… Continue Reading →

Chantecler

The most subtle and interesting twists of Asian-influenced dishes have come across the pass of this restaurant, presided by Chef Johnny Poon.

Mot Na Son's Chip-cut Noodle Soup

I love Mot Na Son and since Chris Nuttall-Smith already got the other points covered (you’re welcome Chris!), I thought I’d just wax on about my favourite dish from this small restaurant: number nineteen – the traditional Korean chip-shaped kneaded… Continue Reading →

A recent visit with Vanessa (of Tongue & Cheek) gave me a chance to see if my fond memories would hold true.

Nibbles 'n' Notes Around Town [August 2012]

While I haven’t been going out often in the last little while, I’m trying to make up for it. Here’s what’s on my radar. The Bellevue Robbie Hojilla (ex-Ursa/Woodlot) is at The Bellevue tonight (Monday, August 20th) cooking up a… Continue Reading →

Amazing Acadia

I’d taken many photos at Acadia over the last several months, and while I’ve never managed to capture the dishes to my satisfaction, they’ll have to do. Last month, Chef Matt Blondin announced he was slated to join team Momofuku Toronto and I… Continue Reading →
